AML M2800

The AML Model 2800 USB bar code and magnetic stripe reader/ decoder combines features found in a variety of readers into one compact, easy to use system. The M2800 USB interface functions as a USB HID keyboard emulator, and will appear on the connected PC as an HID keyboard device. No custom USB drivers are required, as all USB HID drivers are included with Microsoft Windows®. Input data is sent to the PC as though it was typed in directly from the keyboard.

The M2800 accepts a wide variety of input devices such as laser, CCD, wand, magnetic stripe reader, slot reader, and RS-232 serial input. The RS232 interface is mainly used as an input, but resembles a serial port found on a standard PC. The RS232 port is meant to connect serial input devices using a null-modem cable. The M2800 functions well as an RS232 serial to keyboard converter.
