The primary function of a driver license scanner is to verify age by reading the information encoded in the magnetic stripe of the 2D barcode present on the back of the card. When the card is swiped through the slot, the screen on the ID scanner verifies the age of the individual and also ensures that the card is real and not a fake one. In some cases, the information pulled from the card can be stored in the memory of the scanner for compliance reporting or VIP alerts. Here are a few more reasons why it is important to install a driver license scanner in your establishment, especially if you run a marijuana dispensary, liquor store, bar, or pub.
