Kensington Also called a K-Slot or Kensington lock, is a small hole found on almost all
Security Slot small or portable computer and electronics equipment, particularly on
expensive and relatively light ones. It is used for attaching a lock, in particular
those from Kensington Computer Products Group, who are its originators.
Locks are generally secured in place with a key or some mechanical PIN
device and attached through a rubberized metal cable. The end of the cable
has a small loop which allows the whole cable to be looped around a
permanent object, such as a heavy table or other similar equipment, thus
securing it in place.
LED Light Emitting Diode.
Semiconductor which emits light if connected to voltage.
MRTD General Term for all Machine Readable Travel Documents.
Official document issued by a State or organization which conforms to ICAO
Doc 9303 specifications and which is used by the holder for international travel
(e.g. Passport, Visa, MRTD, ID cards) and which contains mandatory eye
readable data and a separate mandatory data summary in a format which is
capable of being read by machine.
MRZ Machine Readable Zone.
Fixed dimensional area located on the MRTD, containing mandatory and
optional data formatted for machine reading using OCR methods.
OCR Optical Character Recognition.
It is the mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten or
typewritten text on paper into machine-editable text. It is scanned with a
computer (NCI) and converted to an editable text document (CI). 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 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 or RF 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.
RMA A Return Merchandise Authorization or Return Material Authorization is a
transaction whereby the recipient of a product arranges to return goods to the
supplier to have the product repaired or replaced or in order to receive a
refund or credit for another product from the same retailer or corporation.
Smart Card A Smart Card, chip card, or integrated circuit card (ICC), is defined as any
pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits which can process
information. The card is made of plastic, generally PVC, but sometimes ABS
or polycarbonate. The card may embed a hologram or other security features
to avoid counterfeiting. Smart Cards are defined according to the card data
read and wright features and the type of chip implanted within the card. There
is a wide range of options.
The most common type of Smart Card is the contact Smart Card where
electrical contacts located on the outside of the card connect to a card reader
when the card is inserted. Contact Smart Cards are standardized in ISO/IEC
7816.
Contactless Smart Cards employ a radio frequency (RFID) between card and
reader without physical insertion of the card. Instead the card is passed along
the exterior of the reader and read. Contactless Smart Cards are standardized
in ISO/IEC 14443.

D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR
The D SCAN Authenticator is a compact full-page document reader. Some of the following
characteristics require additional software functions which might be contained in D SCAN
Extensions or are project-specific.
The document authentication reader has the following characteristics:
• Captures images of an entire data page of an ID document and to read RFID tag data contactless
using a RFID Transceiver.
• Reads RFID and optical data of an ID document in one step without the need to re-position the
document. The One Step scanner.
• Checks the authenticity of security elements of ID documents by comparing the differently lit
images (visible, IR, and UV light).
• Uses high-speed data capture and transmission over the USB 2.0 interface.
• The single RFID antenna covers the entire document support area, so the Read function is not
affected by the position of the chip inside the document.
• The optical scanning area allows inspection of documents without removal of the protective
cover.
• Four LEDs can provide visible indications about the current mode of the document reader. A
acoustic signals provide audible feedback to the user during the capture process.
• The document holder keeps large documents like passports in position during the capture
process and allows hands-free operation.
• It is configurable to perform all scanning and checking functions in a fully automatic mode with
no operator intervention.
• The configurable Flex detection mode processes documents anywhere on the document support
area.
• There are no moving parts, which ensures maximum reliability.

How to use the D SCAN
Authenticator
Chapter 0
THIS CHAPTER DESCRIBES THE FIELDS OF APPLICATION, THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DOCUMENTS AND HOW TO READ A
DOCUMENT WITH THE D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR USING THE D SCAN EXTENSIONS DEMO APPLICATION.
Applications and software levels
The D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR is available with two software levels, the D SCAN Essentials and
D SCAN Extensions to allow easy integration into existing systems on different levels of
completeness. Each software level exists as a runtime license and an SDK license.
The D SCAN Essentials runtime software is provided for every document reader. The software is
necessary to access D SCAN Authenticator devices on a fundamental functional level. This applies
for high level document authentication software from D SCAN Extensions series as well as for direct
device access by system integrators.
D SCAN Essentials software allows low level access to the device:
• USB driver
• Illumination selection and turn on/off, image capturing, RFID reader access on APDU
(Application Protocol Data Unit) level
• Human interface control (buzzer and status LEDs)
• Optional SDK recommended for system integrators with experience in document processing.
D SCAN Extensions software allows high level functionality:
• Business method level to access images
• Verification of security features and RFID access on data group level
• OCR functionality and internal implementations of cryptographic protocols
• ICAO Doc 9303 default document definition
Optional SDK with tools for the implementation of protocols like BAC, EAC, PA, and AA.
Using the D SCAN Extensions software and/or additional customized functions the following main
applications, without the demand of completeness are:
Airports
• Airline check-in and boarding, automated check-in
• ID verification at the time of check-in
• Creation of reference data for passenger tracking
• Faster, more precise and more efficient passenger handling
Rental car companies
• Check-in
• Verification of ID documents
• Verification of driver’s licenses
• Automated check-in for pre-registered customers
Banks
3-1
• Verification of ID documents
• Search against blacklists
• Transaction automation
Hotels
• Check-in
• Automated check-in for pre-registered guests
• Reading personal data from ID documents of guests and transmitting to authorities
Border control
• Automated border control
• Authentication of ID documents
• Providing reliable and efficient border control
Mobile Communications
• ID verification of customers
• Search against blacklists
• Contract automation
Characteristics of documents
General properties of Machine Readable Travel Documents are standardized in ICAO Doc 9303. 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. With the D SCAN Extensions software,
these features are always checked. Images in all available illuminations are always captured
accordance with the installed hardware options.
The default document recognition and check software works with ICAO 9303 compliant documents
of ID1, ID2, and ID3 format. A machine readable zone (MRZ) must be exactly as specified in Doc
9303, with special attention to the OCR-B font.
Additionally, documents, which are not compliant with ICAO specifications, can be detected and can
be taught to the system on request.
The machine readable zone
The ICAO Doc 9303 standard defines the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) of any Machine Readable
Travel Document (MRTD). The position and dimensions of the MRZ is different for every document
type (e.g Passport, Visa, ID Card). The certain definition for each document type can be found in
ICAO Doc 9303. As an example the MRZ for an Passport according to the ICAO Doc 9303 standard
is illustrated in the following graphic:
• 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 long

Figure 3.1
The machine readable zone
The document support area of the D SCAN Authenticator 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.
Position the documents
An instruction symbol (1) on the right side provides principle information for the user how to place a
document on the document support area. The correct final position is along the right (R) and the back
(B) part of the document support area.

Product Warranty
Chapter0
THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS THE TEXT OF THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
Limited Warranty
Cross Match Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Cross Match”) warrants that the Cross Match
Product (other than customized software) you have purchased will be free from defects in material
and workmanship in normal service and under normal conditions for a period of one year from the
date of shipment. Normal service and normal conditions are defined in the Product documentation.
This Limited Warranty is subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
Repair or Replacement
Unless otherwise stated herein, the sole obligation of Cross Match and your exclusive remedy and
recourse under this Limited Warranty is for Cross Match, at its sole election, to either (i) repair the
suspected defective Product and return the same to you or (ii) replace the suspected defective
Product, all on the terms set forth below. The repair or replacement will provide you with a Product
which, in Cross Match’s opinion, performs consistently with its age and usage.
If you become aware that your Cross Match Product is defective in material or workmanship in
normal service and under normal conditions during its one year Limited Warranty period, then you
must promptly contact Cross Match’s Customer Care Center, describe the suspected defect in detail
and request a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”) number prior to sending the affected
Product for repair or requesting a replacement product. Please see your product manual for more
information on RMA’s. Unless otherwise specified by law, you will pay the freight to send the
Product to Cross Match’s designated Service Center. Cross Match will pay the freight to return the
repaired Product to you. Each repaired or replacement Product is warranted (as set forth herein) for
the remaining portion of the original one year Limited Warranty.
THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND CROSS
MATCH’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CROSS
MATCH PRODUCT, AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES WHICH MAY
BE AVAILABLE TO YOU.
Limitations
This limited warranty does not cover visits to repair the Cross Match product at your premises, or the
commissioning of the Product on site. This Limited Warranty is not a warranty, guarantee or promise
that your Cross Match Product will conform to its specification or will not fail. Some defects and
failures are not covered.
Cross Match shall incur no liability under this Limited Warranty and this Limited Warranty is
voidable by Cross Match if in Cross Match’s sole reasonable opinion: (a) the Product is used other
than under normal use and under proper environmental and/or electrical conditions, as specified in
the Product manual; (b) the Product is not maintained as specified in the Product manual; (c) the
Product is subject to abuse, misuse, neglect, accident, flooding, storm, lightning, power surges, dirty
7-1
power, third-party errors or omissions, or acts of God; (d) the Product is modified or altered (unless
expressly authorized in writing by Cross Match); (e) the Product is installed or used in combination or
in assembly with products not supplied or authorized by Cross Match; (f) there is a failure to follow
specific restrictions or operating instructions; or (g) payment for the Product has not been timely
made.
This Limited Warranty includes software “updates” (a revision or minor change to a Product intended
to correct defects and provided as a change in the then current release of the Product). Software
updates may be made from time to time in Cross Match’s sole discretion. This Limited Warranty does
not cover software “upgrades” (a revision to a Product that adds new enhancements and functionality
resulting in a new release of the Product) or any software product or interface customized by Cross
Match to meet Purchaser’s specific requirements or Purchaser furnished equipment or software.
Software upgrades may be available for purchase from time to time at Cross Match’s then current
published prices.
This Limited Warranty does not provide additional hardware or computing platform software or its
installation when required by Cross Match software supplied hereunder. If required, these may be
obtained from Cross Match at the published prices in effect at such time.
The Limited Warranty does not cover nondurable consumable items including, but not limited to,
batteries, paper, silicon pads, cleaning solution, towels, printer cartridges and cables. Replacement
supplies of these items may be ordered by contacting Cross Match Sales at http://
www.crossmatch.com/sales-contacts.php. This Limited Warranty does not cover third party
peripheral equipment (such as laptops and printers) that are not provided by Cross Match.
Cross Match’s obligations hereunder are contingent upon your providing the Product serial number as
proof-of-purchase, and upon Cross Match’s determination that the suspected malfunction is actually
due to defects in material or workmanship.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE
CROSS MATCH PRODUCT, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY CROSS MATCH.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE OR ASSIGNABLE TO ANY THIRD
PARTY AND SHALL BE FOR THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT OF THE ORIGINAL
PURCHASER OF THE CROSS MATCH PRODUCT COVERED HEREUNDER; ANY
ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT HEREOF SHALL BE VOID AB INITIO.
Cross Match reserves the right to improve/modify products at any time, at its sole discretion, as it
deems necessary.
Out-of-Warranty Repairs
When warranty coverage for your Cross Match Product lapses, or for repairs or replacements not
covered by Cross Match’s warranty, (i) you will pay for all repairs at Cross Match’s then-prevailing
hourly labor rate (with a one hour minimum) plus parts and shipping, (ii) you will pay Cross Match’s
then-current price for all replacement Products plus shipping, and (iii) you will pay Cross Match’s
then-prevailing hourly labor rate (with a one hour minimum after the first 15 minutes) for telephone
support in 15 minute increments.
To obtain out-of-warranty service, you must obtain an RMA number and send the affected Product, at
your expense, to the designated Cross Match Service Center for inspection. You will be contacted
with an estimated price and time of repair or replacement after analysis. No repairs or replacements
will be made until Cross Match receives a Purchase Order or credit card number from you. You shall
pay return freight charges, which will be added to the invoice, for the return of the repaired Product or
replacement Product.

In the event you decide not to have a unit repaired or replaced after receiving a repair estimate, there
will be a one hour labor charge at the prevailing hourly rate for evaluation plus return freight charges.
At your request, Cross Match will, for a premium, ship a refurbished unit to you in exchange for the
failed unit. Cross Match will contact you with a price for the exchange after receipt of the failed unit.
The shipment will be made when Cross Match receives a Purchase Order or credit card number from
you. You will pay return freight charges, which will be added to the invoice, for the exchange unit.
The original returned Product will become the property of Cross Match and will not be returned to
you. The refurbished unit will retain the remaining warranty term of the original returned Product.
