A: No. This RFID card reader is fully plug-and-play. Simply connect it to your PC via USB, open any text input application such as Notepad, Word, or Excel, place your card near the reader, and the card number will be typed automatically — no drivers or additional software needed.

Q: What is the difference between the 125kHz, 13.56MHz, and dual-frequency variants?

A: The 125kHz variant reads standard low-frequency ID cards (TK4001/EM4100). The 13.56MHz variant reads high-frequency IC cards. The combined 125kHz + 13.56MHz model supports both card types. Please confirm the frequency your cards use before selecting your variant.

Q: What card types are compatible with this RFID reader?

A: This reader supports TK4001 and EM4100 format ID cards on the 125kHz frequency, as well as standard IC cards on 13.56MHz. It is suitable for access control, hotel key cards, employee ID systems, and utility billing applications.

Q: What data does the reader output by default?

A: By default, the reader outputs the first 10 digits of the card number directly to your active text cursor. This makes it easy to log card data into spreadsheets, databases, or any software that accepts keyboard input.
