reader requires a USB port that supplies 5 Volt. The reader will not function on
USB ports that supply 3.3 Volt.
2. The ISO 14443-4 USB reader with OCR and ISO 14443-4 USB reader with OCR
QA is powered by an AC/DC adapter 12V DC 2,4A. These readers are protected
with a fuse (F1.6AL250V).
3. The ISO 14443-4 e-Doc with OCR Quality Assurance uses RTS/CTS handshaking.
4. In some occasions when the reader is disconnected and reconnected Windows
fails to detect the reader. If this occurs. Please log off and log on in order for
Windows to reinitialise its drivers.
5. BSI's Golden Reader tool is a demonstration tool. The tool is not intended for
benchmarking.

Trouble shooter:
In case of disconnecting the power plug accidentally, or disconnecting the reader from
the PC Soft6700KBWedgeD.exe needs to be restarted.
When the power or USB connection is cut always first shut Soft6700KBWedgeD.exe
before reconnecting the reader.
Always first put the power on the reader and after that connect the reader to the PC.
By disconnecting the OCR reader from the PC first disconnect the serial connection then
the USB connection and after that disconnect the power.

5.7 Step 5: Using the QA (Quality Assurance) reader
When using Hyper Terminal, the following settings need to be set.
COM properties Hyper Terminal
Note:
The RTE6510 QA requires RTS/CTS handshaking (i.e. the host PC should assert RTS to
enable the reader to send data or you must use a loop back dongle).
HyperTerminal and this QADemo version set RTS high so that the loop back dongle (for
handshaking) is not required.
For meaningful results, make sure that the page or card with the MRZ slides over the
bottom of the track of the optical scanner.

5.8 Working with QADemo
With the QA demo you can test the two or three line MRZ.
Power up the reader.
Connect the reader to the PC:
! Serial and USB connection
Open application QADemo.exe.
! The Rochfort Thompson Equipment Limited main window will appear.
Choose "QA" and after that "Check Document".
! The Quality Assurance main window will appear.
Swipe the passport or ID-card with the MRZ through the optical scanner.
! The test results will appear in the Quality Assurance main window.
! See figure below.
Note:
The reader is already calibrated and configured to a speed index 100mm/s to 1000mm/s.
There’s no need to change these settings.
However, if it is required to use calibration and configuration cards, use Hyper Terminal
and ensure the correct size of the cards, which should be 125mm wide and 88mm high.
With the QA Calibration Height Setup form it’s possible calibrate the scanner.
With the RTE6510 QA Customer Information form it’s possible to set the speed
of the MRZ swipe.

READ-ME FILE
The Golden Reader Tool on this CD has been developed for the Bundesamt für
Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) in Bonn, Germany. BSI has allowed
Integrated Engineering (IE) to supply this Golden Reader Tool (GRT) with the IE
reader which has been integrated in this GRT.
The Golden Reader Tool has been developed to support, facilitate and promote
interoperability between various chips and RFID readers. The GRT is subject to
changes and/or updates.
The GRT you have now received represents the status of the GRT of the moment
the release of this version by BSI. BSI wants to be able to communicate changes
and/or updates in the GRT to its recipients. Therefore the Bundesamt für Sicherheit
in der Informationstechnik will be informed by Integrated Engineering who receives
the Golden Reader Tool through Integrated Engineering, including an E-mail
address.
In case you need any support with the GRT please contact Integrated Engineering
at +31 20 4620755, or by E-mail at info@smart-id.com
8. Appendix B - GoldenReader tool read-me file

Reading speed from chip to application dependents on a number factors such as
chip type, chip OS, application (like GoldenReader tool) and CPU speed.
To achieve maximum reading speed with the GoldenReader tool make sure to
switch all the following application options in the GoldenReader tool: Passive
authentication, Use SFI and extended file-logging.
BSI's GoldenReader tool is a demonstration tool. It is not intended for
benchmarking. The following is a partial quote from communication between
Secunet and Integrated Engineering:
QUOTE
The GRT is not optimized for speed. Due to the design of the rf_api
(which was developed during another project) there are several
redundant operations while receiving multiple files consecutiveley
(e.g. select DFs). But the GRT never should be a speed demonstration
tool. Stability was the first object while developing the rf-api.
Special Card Reader "speedups" are also not supported. PC/SC-Readers
are all handled equally. Just the special and serial readers are
initialized using highest possible speeds regarding to supplied vendor
examples.
What we discovered:
- Extended logging costs time due to the extensive logging of APDUs
- CPU speed affects transfer rates
- CPU type does not
UNQUOTE
Additionally the GoldenReader tool performance is dependent on the available
processing power. Other processor intensive applications running at the same
moment will influence the reading performance of the GoldenReader tool.
