IFTER touch-screen readers with a 4.3″ or 7″ display are designed for time and attendance recording (T&A) as well as advanced access and information management. The devices support identification via card, card with PIN, or PIN only, and feature a display showing the current date and time along with configurable function buttons, including options for selecting entry or exit mode. In addition, the readers can display system messages such as expired card notifications or organizational information, while versions without a physical keypad offer an on-screen PIN keyboard with a dynamic layout.
