About
Colormetrics Magnetic Stripe Reader for Your POS Terminal
This Colormetrics magnetic stripe reader adds card-swipe capability to your P4100 or P4500 terminal using 3-track reading technology. It mounts to the side of the unit, so it stays firmly in place through a full day at the counter without taking up space in front of the screen.
Designed for the POS you already have
If you are running a Colormetrics P4100 or P4500, this reader connects directly — no adapter brackets, no guesswork. Compatibility has been verified by the manufacturer, which means you can fit it during a quiet moment and get straight back to serving customers. No need to wonder whether it will work with your specific setup.
One reader handles every card your customers carry
3-track reading covers all magnetic stripe payment cards in everyday circulation. Whether a customer pulls out a newer card or digs out an older one from the bottom of their wallet, the reader recognises it in a single swipe. The checkout queue keeps moving — you are not the reason it slows down.
Built to last through daily counter use
Manufactured in Taiwan, the reader carries a 36-month manufacturer warranty. In practice that means three years of daily use before you need to think about a replacement. If a warranty question comes up, Vaivatta handles the process — get in touch and we sort it out.
Side-mount keeps your counter tidy
Because the reader sits on the side of the terminal rather than in front of it, your customers have a clear view of the screen and you have an uncluttered workspace. In a small café or retail counter where every centimetre matters, that difference is noticeable by mid-morning on a busy day.
A straightforward upgrade to your existing setup
Whether you are expanding a current POS environment or replacing a worn reader, this unit is the direct fit for P4100 and P4500 terminals. Because it was designed specifically for these models, compatibility issues simply do not come into the picture. Vaivatta delivers the reader and can help with installation if needed — just ask.
