OCR is already being used widely in the legal profession, where searches that once required hours or days can now be accomplished in a few seconds.OCR-font OCR font is the term given to a set of special typeface style developed for Optical Character Readers and Optical Character Recognition software. Each character within a font will have a defined reproducible size and shape. For OCR, these are defined by ISO 1073-II and although use of OCR-B is preferred.OCR fonts are standardized and designed to be both machine and human readable. Some examples of OCR implementations include bank checks, passports, serial labels and postal mail.RFID Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a method of identifying unique items using radio waves. Typically, a reader communicates with a tag, which holds digital information in a microchip. But there are chipless forms of RFID tags that use material to reflect back a portion of the radio waves beamed at them. As well as the standard passport data already included, this can also be used to store biometric features. The basic technical specifications of the RF chip for use in passports have been standardized by the ICAO.Table 1.1Glossary of termsTerm Definition

This includes the structure, font, and location of the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ), MRZ check digits, and some UV properties of the document paper to be used in the document. Using the D SCAN Master software, these features are always checked, and images in all available illuminations are always captured depending on the installed hardware options.The default document recognition and checking software (D SCAN Master) works with ICAO 9303 compliant documents of ID1, ID2, and ID3 format. A machine readable zone (MRZ) exactly as specified in Doc 9303, especially considering the OCR-B font, is required.Additionally, documents, which are not compliant with ICAO specifications, can be detected and can be taught to the system on request.
Characteristics of documents 4-3How to use the Authenticator CFThe machine readable zoneICAO Doc 9303 requires that machine-readable data of a document be available within a specific zone. The MRZ is a defined rectangle situated exactly at the lower edge of the document:• 23.2 mm (0.91 in) height from the lower edge of the document• Over the total width of the document• It spans two lines and each line is 44 characters longFigure 4.1The machine readable zoneThe document contact area of the D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR CF goes beyond the ICAO-MRZ. In customer specific applications, it is also possible to read zones outside the MRZ of documents which do not meet the requirements of ICAO Doc 9303.as long as the physical conditions (font, size, printing quality, lamination, etc.) of the document to be inspected allow this.Positioning of documentsAn instruction label on the cover provides schematic information for the user to place a document.Figure 4.2Instruction label on the cover23.2(0.91)document width12 34
