[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Magnetic Card Readers
Is anyone using a magnetic card reader with the new credit card payment feature in the 2.2 staff client? (I'm looking at you KCLS) One of our libraries is already using the feature but would like to purchase magnetic readers that are compatible. If anyone can recommend a particular model that would be great. Otherwise can anyone say whether EG prefers keyboard emulation or a specific magnetic reader HID type? Cheers, Justin

EG prefers keyboard emulation. It has no functionality that I am aware of for interacting with hardware directly for reading things on any platform.

Hello- Right- Evergreen right now anyway only has online payments. We could not afford the insurance to do the telezons(what they call the mag readers) Thanks Lisa Lisa Hill | Projects Specialist | Virtual Library Services http://www.kcls.org and http://catalog.kcls.org p: 425.369.3480 | f: 425.369.3407 . -Original Message- From: open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Berezansky Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2012 11:47 AM To: Evergreen Discussion Group Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Magnetic Card Readers EG prefers keyboard emulation.

Right on, the library in question is using PayPal, which EG supports, so they just need a shortcut to avoid having to type in the numbers. Thomas answered my question enough that I think they will be able to make a purchase.
