1.0 Introduction

The Model 300 incorporates the unique reading technology developed for the E-Seek Model 200 and Model

250 with the added capability to read smart cards in a portable terminal. The Model 300 provides the ability to

read government issued ID cards without directly attaching to a host system.

The standard Model 300 features includes a magnetic stripe, 1D/2D barcode and contact smart card reading

technologies. A full color TFT 3.5 inch display with touch screen capabilities simplies the interaction with the

munications and external device attachment.
