## Long description

VIRTUOS MSR-100A is a compact USB magnetic stripe card reader for reading track data from payment, loyalty and access cards. The device supports ISO magnetic stripe formats and connects via USB (keyboard emulation or COM) for easy integration with POS, payment terminals and access control systems. With dimensions of 90 x 27 x 27 mm and lightweight construction, it is suitable for retail, hospitality and office environments where a simple, low‑power card reading solution is required.
Advantages
The MSR-100A reads one, two or three tracks of magnetic stripe cards and supports common formats such as ISO 7811/12/13, AAMVA and JIS. It offers keyboard emulation over USB or COM-style communication, low power consumption powered directly from the USB port, and configurable pre-processing of read data (prefix/suffix, track enable/ID and keyboard layout). The reader is compact and durable with an estimated read head life of approximately 800,000 passes and provides LED and acoustic feedback for each successful read.

How to use

Install or run the configuration utility from the Virtuos support site if custom keyboard layout, data preprocessing (prefix/suffix) or track settings are required.

The device can operate in keyboard emulation mode or COM/USB‑COM mode for integration with host systems.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, keep card edges clean and swipe at a consistent speed. Use the configuration utility to match the reader output to your host application (set appropriate prefix/suffix and keyboard layout). Avoid exposing the reader to liquids and excessive dust; store within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
