Card Reader Support

Card Reader Summary

Penji supports the use of card readers for streamlined student check-ins and check-outs. This feature is available for Kiosks in both Drop-in and Events mode, ensuring a smooth and efficient process for tracking student attendance.

Many IT Departments will provision you with your school's standard card readers upon request. But if you're looking to purchase new card readers, we have a recommended the model linked here. Once you have your card readers, we'll either work with you directly or your IT Department to get them set up!

If you would like to set up card readers for your Penji Community, please email us at [e-mail].
