Device Overview
This chapter provides a brief description of the e355.
The e355 connects with various tablet devices for the next generation of PAYware Mobile enterprise. It supports the use of the Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile) standard to connect between the e355 and the tablet.
Some of the e355's key features include: a fast processor, large memory, the latest PCI (Payment Card Industry) 4.0 security, integrated 2D barcode scanner, mechanical keypad, and integrated contactless and NFC (Near Field Communication)-ready, in a small most versatile form factor.
The e355 is a portable, battery-powered device designed to fit your hands comfortably and is ideal for consumer-facing and merchant-facing retail integrated applications. It has a removable battery that can be charged by an external power adapter through a micro-USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector and gang charger. It also features a crisp 320 x 240 color LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) display.
Key Features
400 MHz ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) 11 processor delivers power and usability in a convenient "hand-over" design

Features and Benefits
The e355 provides the right combination of features and functions including a triple-track magnetic-stripe card reader, smart card reader, integrated PIN (Personal Identification Number) pad, colored display, 2D barcode reader, and contactless/NFC support.
Exceptional Ease of Use
The lightweight, compact, stylish, and ergonomic balance allows convenient device hand-off to the consumer for PIN entry or other input.
Large, well-placed, mechanical keys provide a continuity of user experience between the e355 and the iOS, Android, or Windows device.
Horizontal magnetic stripe card reader with an enlarged card entrance delivers optimal card swiping and reading without the need to visually guide the card.
