A Slimmer Footprint for Tight Counters
Front-Load Vertical Design
The document slot faces forward rather than on top, so the reader stands upright and takes up less desk depth — useful behind narrow check-in and registration counters.
Sub-1.3-Second Recognition
The same fast MRZ/OCR engine as our horizontal compact readers returns document data in under 1.3 seconds.
Contactless Chip Reading
ISO 14443 Type A/B support reads e-passport chips per ICAO 9303 at 13.56 MHz for full identity verification.
Simple USB Deployment
A single USB 2.0 cable provides both data and power, with Windows and Android SDK support for fast integration.
