Figure 19: Test Card 4. Place the test card face down on the document window, aligned with the left guide, with the test card instructions facing up. Figure 20: Test Card Placement 5. Push the card to the back of the document window until it stops. Note: Do not move the document during the scanning process. 6. Observe the LEDs during the scanning procedure. The READY LED turns off and the amber LED (BUSY) turns on. The amber LED (BUSY) remains on while the reader scans and processes the data. The green LED (OK) turns on, indicating a successful read. 14 3M 2006 All rights reserved. DT-01715C Travel Document Reader User Guide The READY LED turns on, indicating that the reader is ready to scan another document. The data from the test card is sent to the host computer and the results displayed on the PC screen. Reading Documents The readers read the barcode and machine-readable zone (MRZ) text on both identification cards and passports. When the document is properly aligned on the document window, the image is taken and optical character recognition is performed (when there is OCR data) followed by the barcode recognition. Barcodes uniquely identify each passport with specially encoded information about the document holder. Single or two dimensional barcodes may be used. Single dimensional (1D) barcodes encode information along their width. Each character of the alphabet is represented by a specific combination of thick and thin bars and spaces. To add more information, the width must be increased. This eventually poses problems for secure document issuers due to the lack of free space available for the barcode. Two dimensional (2D) barcodes encode information vertically as well as horizontally. This allows 2D barcodes to contain more information than 1D barcodes with more information packed into a smaller space. Reading ID Barcodes 1D barcodes are usually printed at a resolution level that allows them to be accurately captured by most optical scanners such as the 3M Full Page Reader. Their images are usually easily decoded by a PC-based application. The readers read three kinds of 1D barcodes:
2 of 5 interleaved Code 39 (Code 3 of 9) Code 128 Reading 2D Barcodes Because of their detail, 2D barcodes are most often printed at a high resolution. Many factors may affect the ability of a software application to accurately decode the barcodes information from a scanned image. These include:
low resolution, poor, faded or fuzzy printing is potentially problematic undersized or skewed bar codes cannot be reliably read large feature size (bar density) may reduce legibility insufficient contrast between print and paper may cause inaccurate reads interaction of the ink and paper may result in image bleeding or blurring over time laminates that affect image clarity reduce readability 3M 2006 All rights reserved. 15 Travel Document Reader User Guide DT-01715C In some cases, a higher scanning resolution such as that offered by the high resolution option of the 3M Full Page Reader or by the 3M Broad Spectrum Reader will be required to capture more detailed images. Due to the document variability, 3M cannot guarantee that the high resolution option of its readers will be able to read every PDF 417 barcode. For some documents, the use of a specialized, hand-held 2D bar code reader may be the most reliable option for reading 2D barcodes. Identification Cards Identification cards typically have a photo and basic information on the front and a 3-line MRZ on the back. Figure 21: Sample Identification Card (Back) 1D Barcode Start of MRZ
(Machine Readable Zone) Passports Passports have a photo, vital information and a 2-line MRZ on the front. Figure 22: Sample ICAO-Compliant Passport (Front) Full-image Capture Area Start of MRZ
(Machine Readable Zone) 16 3M 2006 All rights reserved. DT-01715C Reading Standard Documents This section describes proper document placement for typical documents. When reading typical documents the booklet slides under the clip against the document guide. Travel Document Reader User Guide 1. Hold the document open as you place it on the document window. 2. Place the booklet on the document window close to the left so the left edge is against the document guide and then slide it back so the leading edge is fully inserted under the clip at the back of the document window. 2 1 Note:
You can also use two hands to insert the document into the reader. Use one hand to guide the document and the other to hold it flat against the document window. Note:
The reader was designed to hold a document in a natural semi-opened position. This hands-free function allows you to release the document and focus on the traveler. 3M 2006 All rights reserved. 17 Travel Document Reader User Guide DT-01715C 3. During reading, the document must lie flat against the document window. The leading edge of the booklet should be all the way to the back of the document window under the clip. The left edge of the booklet must be against the document guide. When the document reaches its proper position, the reader will automatically start scanning the document. Note:
The outer half of the booklet must lie flat against the bezel to ensure that any chip located in the back half of the booklet is read properly. 4. Observe the LEDs during the scanning procedure. The READY LED turns off and the amber LED (BUSY) turns on. The amber LED (BUSY) remains on while the reader scans and processes the data. The green LED (OK) turns on, indicating a successful read. The READY LED turns on, indicating that the reader is ready to scan another document. The data from the document is sent to the host computer. 18 3M 2006 All rights reserved. DT-01715C Reading Non-standard Documents This section describes proper document placement for thick documents, documents with oversized covers or damaged or flimsy pages in travel documents. Some travel booklets are too thick to fit easily under the document clip. Others may have fragile or flimsy pages (such as visa pages) which require extra care in handling. Travel Document Reader User Guide 1. Open the booklet to the page you want to read. Raise the light shield and press the clip lever. Slide the single page under the clip and release the lever. Note:
You may want to insert a damaged or flimsy page using the cover or adjacent pages as support. 2. Make sure the upper left corner of the page is aligned with the upper left corner of the document window. When the document reaches its proper position, the reader will automatically start scanning the document. Do not move the document during the scanning process. Note:
The light shield must remain down for an accurate read. The operator may release the document. This hands-free function allows the operator to focus on the traveler. 3. Observe the LEDs during the scanning procedure. The READY LED turns off and the amber LED (BUSY) turns on. The amber LED (BUSY) remains on while the reader scans and processes the data. The green LED (OK) turns on, indicating a successful read. The READY LED turns on, indicating that the reader is ready to scan another document. The data from the document is sent to the host computer. 3M 2006 All rights reserved. 19 DT-01715C Travel Document Reader User Guide Contactless Integrated Circuits Reading Procedure The ePassport reader can also detect and read information encoded on contactless integrated circuits (chips) in passports and ID cards. To read passports with a chip, the ePassport reader is equipped with an antenna that completely surrounds the document window. Whether the chip is in the front or rear cover, the data page, or any other page, the readers antenna will detect and read the chip. You do not have to turn the book around to ensure the chip is read. In issuance environments, the reader has the ability to write personalized information, like that on the data page, to the chip. This provides an additional level of security to the travel document. (For information on writing to contactless chips please contact Global Technical Services (GTS) at 3M.) The reader:
reads and writes to ISO 14443 Type A and Type B ICs supports reader to chip transfer rate of 424 Kbps when applicable (IC dependent) provides functionality according to ICAO NTWG Technical Reports The RF (radio frequency) technology used in the ePassport reader is very short range, and does not interfere with other electronic equipment such as PC monitors, wireless communications (for example, 802.11g) or cell phones. However, to ensure no interference between ePassport readers, you should maintain a minimum of 25cm (10 in) between readers. RF Reading Procedure 1. Start the RF test application ePassportDemo located in the 3M Document Authenticator folder created during software installation. Note:
ePassportDemo is a sample application used to demonstrate joint operation of optical document and radio frequency chip reading. ePassportDemo does not report its status to the LED display on the reader. Figure 23: SalesDemo window 20 3M 2006 All rights reserved. DT-01715C Travel Document Reader User Guide 2. Place the document on the document window, aligned with the left edge of the document window. Note:
The reader is shown with the light shield up to better illustrate the procedure. 3. Push the document to the back of the document window until it stops. Note:
The spring-loaded document guide will normally hold the document in place, allowing hands-free operation Figure 24: Document Placement 4. The ePassport Reader reads the MRZ data from the travel document and then accesses the data on the chip and displays it on screen. Note:
It may take several seconds to read the RF information from the chip. The performance of this operation is largely dependent on the capabilities of the chip. 5. Scroll through the list to view the elapsed reading times for the data elements on both the data page and the chip.
