The Flash Reader features a compact, surface mount package designed for easy installation.  The reader is connected to a controller placed inside the machine.  If physical damage occurs to the reader, it is simply unplugged, 2 bolts removed, and replaced. This protects the critical internal electronics from external damage.

The Flash Reader uses bar code technology based on optics instead of magnetic swipes which require contact. This means less maintenance and more reliability.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2101″ img_size=”large” style=”vc_box_rounded” css_animation=”slideInRight” css=”.vc_custom_1486155489529{border-radius: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1486154048778{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInLeft” width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2096″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”zoomInLeft”][/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”What it does ” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Arimo%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]Ideal POS is the foundation for your One Ideal Solution™.
