The Model 2000PMB-4 Age Verifier accepts driver's licenses from over 25 States and Canadian provinces that contain a magnetic stripe. It also accepts Canadian Health Cards and INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) magnetic stripe-encoded cards. In addition, an external handheld or mounted scanner for hands-free operation may be attached to the Age Verifier I/O Serial port.

The Model 2000PMB-4 includes a 'PDF-417 Insertion slot reader' capable of reading the information in the high density PDF-417 2D bar code used on over 30 States' driver's licenses. We offer other Portable Models and PC-Based Models for Age Verification & POS.

Although the primary use of the Age Verifier is in the retail POS (Point of Sale) market, it can be used for security checking and driver's licenses validation applications. Fraudulent licenses and ID cards can be determined by comparing the displayed information to the data printed on the face of the card and by data format verification.

The standard Age Verifier stores up to 500,000 bytes of information that can be uploaded to a host computer or printed on a stand-alone line printer for a transaction "paper trail". Application program options are available that allow printing only the related transaction data to be stored (for POS paper trail) or allow the capture of the complete license data to be stored in a PC for other uses.

AGE VERIFIER FUNCTION:

1. Reads the entire record encoded and stores all required fields in flash memory.
2. Birth Date and Expiration Date encoded on a driver's license/ID card are compared to the real-time clock settings.
3. The display, during the idle mode, shows the current Date and Time.
4. After a license has been read, the device backlights a display of the age and date of birth, along with the appropriate LED illumination indicating the cardholder's age. These LEDs are ideal in a dimly lit or dark environment.
5. For an expired driver's licenses the reader will, momentarily, backlight and display the word 'EXPIRED' with all LEDs illuminated, followed by a backlit display of the birth date and illumination of the appropriate LED. In the event a driver's licenses cannot be successfully read, the display may, under certain conditions, show the word 'ERROR'. If a magnetic stripe license is not encoded, nothing will appear. Card errors occur due to defective or "dirty" cards, invalid cards, or by the user not swiping a magnetic stripe encoded license properly. Also, in the case of bar code encoded licenses, not scanning from the proper distance or improper movement of the scanning device or the license itself could prevent a successful scan. Regular use of cleaning cards can help keep the magnetic stripe read head operating at optimum performance.
6. Ban undesirables. 'BANNED' appears on LCD when read. IDs can be un-banned. Stores 500 banned IDs in memory.
7. Print Features: A) Print log on Receipt Printer - B) Print wristbands if person is not banned and 18-21+ (configurable).
