Glancetron 650 card reader

The Glancetron 650 card reader reads standard (visible) as well as infrared (invisible) barcodes. They are covered with a greyish-black film that is impenetrable to visible light. The barcode is not visible to the eye and can neither be copied nor read with a normal scanner.

The decoder processes all common barcodes and has diverse setting possibilities. An extensive set of barcode cards with programming codes is included in the delivery for programming the 650 (for example, turning off certain barcode types, setting of prefixes and suffixes, or changing the signal tone).

Connectivity is flexible with a wide variety of connection possibilities: USB, keyboard wedge or RS232. The keyboard wedge version supplies the PC with the necessary operating power. The reader is simply looped between the keyboard and PC with the included Y-cable and then the information will appear on the display. This pure hardware keyboard emulation needs no software adaptions. The RS232 connection type requires an external 5V PSU and will also need to poll the interface actively to receive the information transmitted by the device.

For the USB version, you need to install the included Windows driver that makes the slot reader work like a keyboard wedge version.
