  • Reading Indication: The "green" status indicator light will illuminate, and a beep will sound, confirming a successful read.
  • Dataoutput: The card's ID number will appear in any open text field on your computer (e.g., Notepad, Word document, spreadsheet, or specific application).
  • Understøttede korttyper: The reader supports EMID, FDX-A, FDX-B, and 1326 family proximity cards.
