Usb Credit Card Chip Reader
My question is regarding credit card readers configured in Keyboard mode under OS X. I've noticed that the same reader running under OS X (I'm running 10.9.4, but the same holds true for previous versions) reads out swipe data about twice as fast in Windows 7 as it does on the Mac. https://smartspotent.weebly.com/card-reader-for-mac-mini.html. For example, if I swipe a card using my MagTek Dynamag reader in to Text Edit (or any app) on the Mac, it can take a good 4-5 seconds to fully output the track data (the track is quite long because it's encrypted). If I run the same swipe using the same computer and reader using my VMWare Fusion Windows 7 virtual machine, the swipe outputs in a text file in about half the time (2-3 seconds). Even with whatever overhead is introduced by running a virtual machine, the output rate is still MUCH faster under Windows.
The USB credit card swiper that is available from Vagaro, is plug and play compatible with Windows and Mac. https://smartspotent.weebly.com/acrobat-reader-for-chrome-mac.html. All you have to do is plug the USB credit card swiper into an available USB port on the computer and you are ready to swipe credit cards and gift cards.

I originally just thought it was the reader that was slow until I tested it in Windows. Does anyone know what is causing the slower output rate on the Mac? Is it merely a setting or something more involved (such as USB drivers)? Thanks for any help!
