Portable ID Checker for Magnetic Stripe IDs

The IDVisor® Z22 MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader) is a scaled-down version of our Z22 Mobile product with the 2D Barcode reader removed. This product only reads Magnetic Stripe IDs. This product is a great option for businesses in states with magnetic stripe licenses that mainly see in-state cliental and that don't need to be able to read 2D barcodes.

Simply turn it on and it's ready to use. Swipe or dunk a license into the reader and the ID checker calculates the age and displays easy-to-understand icons for alcohol and tobacco age verification. Over/under 18 or 21 alerts are displayed on a bright color screen.

Features and Benefits

Ideal for Bars, Nightclubs, Taverns, Security Guards, Bouncers
