$ 373.55 Price excluding tax
The MICRSafe Single-Feed MICR Cheque Reader is a compact enterprise check-reading solution designed for fast and accurate processing of MICR-encoded cheques. It reads E13-B and CMC-7 MICR fonts in a single pass and incorporates an integrated 3-track MagneSafe secure card reader authenticator. The USB VCOM interface provides connectivity to compatible banking, POS, and financial applications.
Description
The MICRSafe is a compact, reliable single-feed MICR cheque reader designed for banking, retail, point-of-sale, and financial transaction environments where accurate cheque data capture is required.
Using a simple drop-and-push feeding mechanism, the device allows operators to process individual cheques quickly while reducing manual data entry and transaction processing time. MICRSafe reads both E13-B and CMC-7 MICR character fonts, allowing it to capture MICR information from compatible cheques and other MICR-encoded documents.
The unit also incorporates an integrated 3-track MagneSafe secure card reader authenticator, capable of reading supported ISO and AAMVA-standard credit, debit, and identification cards. This makes the MICRSafe a versatile peripheral for environments where cheque processing and secure card authentication are required from the same workstation.
The USB VCOM interface allows the reader to communicate with host systems as a virtual serial/COM port. This makes it suitable for integration with applications that require MICR and card-reader data through a serial-style interface. MagTek documentation also identifies USB HID/keyboard-emulation configurations as an alternative interface option, but the VCOM configuration should be selected when the application specifically requires virtual COM communication.

Important SKU note: The supplied inventory description identifies 7335902 with this MICRSafe product. However, online Oracle-part databases currently associate 7335902 with a different Oracle component—a QLogic 32Gb dual-port Fibre Channel HBA. Therefore, verify the 7335902 label/FRU against the physical product or your Oracle inventory record before publishing this part number as the MICRSafe manufacturer’s part number.
