Page 3 Introduction This document describes the features and functions of the following readers:  Gemalto Kiosk Full Page Reader, model # PV35-00-17-00-01  Gemalto Kiosk ePassport Reader, model # PV35-02-17-00-01 This manual is intended to be used by kiosk hardware developers and integrators. It provides mechanical and electrical specifications required to incorporate the readers into a kiosk as well as guidance on the operation, troubleshooting and maintenance of the readers. Features Overview The Gemalto Kiosk Full Page Reader and Gemalto Kiosk ePassport Reader are a family of intelligent optical character recognition (OCR) and full-image capture devices that provide automated data capture from a variety of personal identification documents. They read data from documents encoded with:  machine-readable text  cell phone/PDA detection  1D barcodes  barcode reading from cell phone/PDA  2D barcodes  customized client requirements  Extended Access Control (EAC) 1.01 specification support  document rotation detection and processing support  contactless integrated circuit (IC) chips (optional) The readers capture full page document images using:  Visible color illumination  Near-infrared (B900 band) illumination  Ultra violet illumination The readers perform optical character recognition on identity documents including those that conform to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 9303 specifications and send data from the document to a host computer over a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection. The base functionality for the different readers varies: Gemalto Kiosk Full Page Reader  full page visible, ultra violet (UV) and infrared (IR) imaging  optical character recognition (OCR)  1D and 2D barcode reading Gemalto Kiosk ePassport Reader The Gemalto Kiosk ePassport Reader includes all the functionality of the Full Page model and can also detect and read information encoded on contactless integrated circuits in passports and ID cards. The reader:  reads ISO 14443 Type A and Type B ICs
Page 4  supports reader to chip transfer rate of up to 848 Kbps when applicable (IC dependent)  provides functionality according to ICAO NTWG (New Technologies Working Group) Technical Reports To read passports with a chip, the reader is equipped with an antenna that completely surrounds the document window and tray. Whether the chip is in the front or rear cover, the data page, or any other page, the reader’s antenna will detect and read the chip. The user does not need to turn the book around to ensure the chip is read. The RF (radio frequency) technology used in the Gemalto Kiosk 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. Document Images The following are examples of infrared, visible and ultra violet imaging: Figure 1: Infrared Image Figure 2: Visible Image Figure 3: Ultra Violet Image Related Documents The range of applications for reading and authenticating secure documents is growing. Particularly, with the development and deployment of ePassports and smart identity cards authentication has become critical to security. Gemalto has developed a collection of software development kits (SDKs) and application programmer interfaces (APIs) to facilitate the development of verification and authentication applications. There are 6 documents in the SDK/API suite: DT-01700 Gemalto Inspection and Full Page Reader Serial/USB Software Developer's Reference Facilitates document data capture and OCR. Sample Function: SavePhotoJpeg saves the jpeg data into a specific named file. DT-01758 Optical Character Recognition Skin API Specification Facilitates the manipulation of OCR data. Sample Function:
Page 5 unsigned long MMM_GetOCR_TextItem returns the character string data for a specific item. For example “@mrz_line_1” and “@mrz_line_2” are the top and bottom MRZ lines on a two-line document. DT-01675 Gemalto Authentication System Software Developer's Reference Facilitates the comparison of graphical elements of scanned documents to known reference images. Sample Function: RetrieveTextItem retrieves the text string for the named item. DT-01714 Gemalto ePassport Reader SDK Developer’s Reference Facilitates the integration of ePassports into a document handling system. Sample Function: Active_Authentication performs the active authentication process using the public key retrieved from data group 15. DT-01757 Radio Frequency Skin API Specification Facilitates the extraction of information from ePassports. Sample Function: unsigned long MMM_GetRF_File reads a data group from the card embedded in the travel document. The entire data group is returned in the data buffer. DT-01762 Logical Data Structure Skin API Specification Facilitates the manipulation of data found on ePassports. Sample Function: unsigned long MMM_LDS_ValidActiveAuthenticationSignature verifies the digital signature returned from a radio frequency (RF) chip in response to an active authentication request. These documents encompass the range of tools for use by programmers to develop applications for the Gemalto Inspection Reader and Gemalto Full Page Reader family. Some of the SDKs and APIs are complimentary, used together to perform specific tasks:  access all optical character recognition (OCR) results, images and authentication results (Gemalto Authentication System SDK and OCR Skin API)  access a RF chip, retrieving various fields and verifying passive authentication (Gemalto ePassport Reader SDK and RF Skin API) Two of the kits are used alone for specific applications:  decode ICAO data groups from ePassports (Logical Data Structure Skin API)
Page 6  retrieve USB data streams, decode and access data/images
Page 7 Product Description The readers are self-contained devices designed to be incorporated into a self-service kiosk terminal. The main hardware features are:  A document window and tray for placement of documents to be read  A back panel containing communication, status light emitting diode (LED) and power connection ports  Attachment points for mounting the readers to a kiosk chassis Document Tray and Window The document window is a glass surface measuring 132mm x 88mm located on top of the reader. Users place documents on the document tray, imaging side down, and slide them to the back of the document window to scan them. Guides on the document tray help align the document and keep it pressed onto the glass window. The document window is slightly larger than ICAO 9303 requirements to accommodate oversized documents. Keep the document tray and window clean to ensure optimum operation of the reader. See Cleaning on page 22 for more information. Figure 4: Document Tray and Window
Page 8 Back Panel The back panel features the USB communication ports, status light emitting diodes (LEDs), a connector to drive a secondary set of status LEDs and a power supply connector. Figure 5: Back Panel Ports USB Ports Communication to and from the host PC is via USB 2.0. The USB host interface is a standard Type B connector. The reader does not draw any power from the host. A built-in USB hub and two auxilliary USB 2.0 Type A connectors allow you to connect additional USB peripherals such as a mouse, keyboard, etc. The two USB peripheral connectors are capable of supplying +5V DC at a total of 500mA to the peripherals (e.g. 500mA to a single peripheral, 250mA to each of two peripherals, etc.). Status Indicator LED’s The status LEDs are intended to assist a technician to install and debug the reader, and indicate the reader status and the result of scanning a document. They are not visible by a user. Table 1: Indicator LEDs Ready (Green) The reader is ready to scan a document (when connected to the host application). Busy (Amber) The reader is scanning a document and processing the data. OK (Green) A known document type was presented and processing was successful. Error (Red) The document is of an unknown type or did not process properly.
Page 9 A five-pin header is provided to drive a remotely-located status LED display on the kiosk, or to allow the kiosk hardware to monitor the status of the reader. The reader connector is designed to mate with Molex part number 0874390600 housing and 87421 crimp terminals. The remote status LED’s are assumed to have a common anode at +3.3V. The reader will pull connector pins to ground through 200-ohm resistors, supplying approximately 7.5mA per LED. Pin assignment of this connector is shown in the following figure. Figure 6: Status LED Connector Power Connector The reader must be connected to a Underwriters Laboratory (UL)-Listed DC power supply capable of providing +12V DC at 1.1A. The connector pinouts are shown in the following figure. Figure 7: Power Supply Connector Mounting Points The readers contain eight M4 threaded mounting bosses, two on each side and four on the bottom, as shown in the following figure. The preferred mounting points are on the bottom. If the side mounting points are used, care must be taken in the design of the kiosk mounting surfaces to ensure that tensile stress is not placed on the reader chassis. The M4 hardware should protrude into the reader chassis no more than 8mm. At the factory, all eight bosses are filled with threaded plastic inserts to prevent dust entry into the enclosure.

Page 11 Installing the Hardware Before installing the hardware, consider the following:  proper procedure for unpacking the reader  proper kiosk design Unpacking the Reader Each reader package consists of:  1 reader  1 test card  1 USB communication cable  Power supply and line cord  1 Scotch-Brite™ Microfiber Cleaning Cloth 1. Remove the contents from the box and separate the components from the packing material. 2. Verify that all the parts described have been received. If any parts are missing, contact Gemalto Global Technical Services (GTS). For more information, see Appendix D: Customer Service on page 29. 3. Store the packaging in the event that the reader may require reshipment to Gemalto for maintenance. Note: Allow the reader to come to room temperature for a minimum two hours before operation, if it has been stored below room temperature. Kiosk Design Considerations The reader is designed to be mounted behind the kiosk front panel with only the document tray protruding. The front panel must provide an opening to allow users to insert their documents and hold them flat on the document glass for scanning. The opening should form a box, open at the front and closed at the top, sides and back. To better illustrate this, a typical kiosk concept is shown in the following figures. It is recommended that the material forming the document cavity and the front fascia around the reader be non-metallic (e.g. Polycarbonate) to avoid affecting the RF performance. This is illustrated in red in the following figures. The cutaway view shows the reader mounted to the bottom surface of the kiosk chassis, with the plastic insert forming the document cavity. The document cavity must allow sufficient clearance for a user’s hand to hold the document down on the glass. To assist in the mechanical design, 3D CAD models of the reader are available in all popular formats. Contact your sales representative or GTS for details.
Page 12 Figure 9: Kiosk Concept - Front View Figure 10: Kiosk Concept - Cutaway View The reader is designed to be held in place using four M4 machine screws. See the previous section for detailed mechanical dimensions of the reader and its threaded mounting points. When designing a kiosk to accommodate the reader, consider the following factors:  Attach the reader using the bottom attachment points, if possible  In ePassport models, keep metallic surfaces away from the document tray and document glass. These areas contain the radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna, and RF reading can be disrupted by the presence of metal in the RF field
Page 13  In ePassport models, the front fascia should be plastic or a non-metallic material  In ePassport models, do not allow a metallic surface under and parallel to the document tray  Allow sufficient clearance above the document window for the user to hold the document down on the document window  The document window must be shielded as much as possible from direct lighting (reference mechanical drawing DT-01823), and any surfaces directly above the document window must be matte black. Failure to observe this may cause unreliable document detection. Figure 11: Mounting - Recommended Figure 12: Mounting - Not Recommended Note: The reader should be inclined 5° to 10° to prevent liquid from entering the kiosk and to discourage its use as a shelf. Connecting the Power Supply The reader is designed to be powered from a switched, UL-listed power source supplied with the kiosk and terminating in a suitable DIN connector. The reader is supplied with a power cable and power supply but does not have a power switch. Connect the DIN connector from the power supply to the power connector at the rear of the reader, and secure or tie-off the cable as required. Note: If you choose to use your own power supply, it must be a UL-listed device. Contact your sales representative or Gemalto Global Technical Services (GTS) for details. Connecting to the Host System The reader is supplied with a 2-meter USB A-B communication cable.
