The compact form factor and integrated cable ensure a tidy setup on desks or terminal enclosures while maintaining portability and easy relocation when needed.

Form factor: compact indoor housing, black
Weight: approximately 98 g
User interface: built-in LCD display and numeric keypad for PIN entry
How to use
Connect the ACS APG8201-B2 to a computer or terminal using the integrated 1.5 m USB cable; the reader draws power from the host USB port. Insert a contact smart card into the reader according to the card orientation marked on the device. When a PIN is required, use the on-device numeric keypad and confirm entries on the built-in LCD. Follow software prompts from the host application or middleware for authentication, signing or transaction approval. Ensure the host system has any required drivers or middleware installed if not automatically provided by the operating system.
Usage recommendations
Handle the device in dry indoor environments; avoid exposing the reader to moisture or extreme temperatures. Use trusted host systems and keep middleware or drivers up to date. For secure PIN entry, instruct users to enter PINs directly on the device keypad and verify transaction details displayed on the host application where applicable.
