MagStripe Swipe Reader [Short]

Regards Long or Short Barcode Swipe Readers; the long style readers are recommended for the public as the whole of the card is in the slot before it is read and almost impossible to have a misread. If you plan to have regular staff using the reader then the short version is suitable and is at a reduced cost.
