Diebold Nixdorf čítačka magnetických kariet

At the point of sale, a cashier swipes a customer's loyalty card through the Diebold Nixdorf magnetic stripe reader. Instantly, the card data is transmitted as keystrokes into any open application—no drivers, no complex setup. This compact black reader sits securely on the counter, its non-slip rubber feet keeping it steady during fast transactions. The dual-color LED and beeper confirm each successful read, minimizing errors and keeping lines moving.
