The MCP300 series is a reading/writing device for specified IC card or reading

device for ISO magnetic stripe type plastic card.

It also has print/erase capability to a re-writable human readable area on the sur-

face of the card.  This series is compatible with most host computers and various
P.O.S. systems.

The main features of the MCP300 series are as follows:

1. Reads data from a specified IC chip on the card.
2. Writes data to a specified IC chip on the card.
3. Reads data from a magnetic stripe on the card.
4. Prints characters to a human readable area and erases them.
4. Serial interface of RS-232C(MCP300 housed unit), or CMOS(MCM300 mecha-

nism unit).

5. The human readable area of the card may be re-used up to 10,000 times under

the proper condition.

6. Number of printing characters:

3 lines of 29 characters by 12 X12 dot font
3 lines of 22 characters by 16 X 16 dot font
2 lines of 14 characters by 24 X 24 dot font
