Introduction As smart card technology becomes widely accepted in the market, integration of different components such as keypad and fingerprint scanner becomes necessary. This allow for an optimization of security and offers convenience sought after in many applications. ACR89 is an electronic device designed primarily to operate under low energy consumption. It comes with a built-in keypad, LCD, rechargeable battery and large programmable memory features, which allow ACR89 to perform secure transaction between the user and the card both in PC-linked and stand-alone modes. ACR89 is a powerful tool that offers a low-power and high performance solution. It also supports Secure PIN Entry (SPE). We can securely input the sensitive data through the PIN pad of the device to the PC terminal. This successfully eliminates the possibility of a Virus/Trojan or USB Sniffer getting hold of the PIN, as PIN codes are never exposed to the vulnerable PC or workstation. Furthermore, ACR89 introduces user firmware upgrade via USB: users are allowed to upgrade the firmware, which can be easily loaded to the ACR89 platform through the USB. This capability makes ACR89 very accessible and ideal for many applications. This document will guide the user on proper connection of the device and how to install the reader driver.
