3 Starting your evaluation
3.1 Installation
Warning: The Evaluator’s Guide describes how to install the 3M RTE5000 reader to
ensure it meets safety and regulatory standards. This manual outlines the installation
procedure for straightforward installations.
Do not plug the reader in before installing the 3M RTE5000 drivers.
You must install the drivers first.
For the latest information on installation use the “View Documentation” option from 3M RTE5000 SDK CD
launcher, however for the experienced user the process can be summarised as follows:
•
Install the device drivers (do not plug the scanner in first).
•
Ensure DirectX 9 (for Windows XP) or DirectX10 for Vista is loaded and up to date.
•
Install the Demonstration programs from the 3M RTE5000 SDK CD on to the PC which will be
connected to the scanner.
•
Connect the scanner to the PC and follow the instructions when the "driver install" windows
appear.
The unit does not have a power switch and would usually be left on. Power can be confirmed by checking that
the power-on LED on top of the unit is green.
If the power-on LED is off or red then the unit has failed self test and is unserviceable.
For the system requirements of the PC you are installing the reader on to refer to the appendixes in the
Evaluator’s Guide.
Once the software is installed, use this manual to help with the set up, running and control of the scanner. The
next section explains how to start using the scanner.
To uninstall the software use the Windows Control Panel component “Add or Remove Programs”. To remove
the drivers click on the item “3M RTE5000 Device Drivers” and select “Change/Remove”. To remove the
software package and SDK click on the item “3M RTE5000” and select “Change/Remove”. Then follow the
instructions on the pop-up windows.
If you are having trouble installing the software or the scanner, see the Troubleshooting section of the
Evaluator’s Guide for more details.

3.2 Checking the Scanner is plugged in and working
•
Windows 2000 and XP
1. Go to the "Control Panel" from the Start Menu and Select "System", "Hardware" and "Device
Manager".
2. Check that you see all of the arrowed devices shown above.
If you cannot see these then consult section 4 Troubleshooting.

3.3 Evaluating your Scanner
3M Security Systems Division supplies a number of demonstration programs, however, we recommend that you
start with the RTE5000 ePassport Demo program that you will find as a shortcut on your desktop. Double click
the link to start the program and select one of the schemes. Then you can test the appropriate documents. Try
other document types with other schemes. Documents can be scanned by simply inserting them as shown
below.
The reader incorporates has one slot for reading the codeline data off travel documents, an RFID reader is
located on the main flat surface under the ePassport symbol and there are two contact smartcard slots on the
right hand side of the unit.
1. For all documents, identify the correct slot/surface as described above.
2. Orientate the document.
For machine readable travel documents, OCRB and E13B documents the codelines should be
towards the bottom and facing towards you.
3. Swipe the document briskly, yet smoothly, from left to right, through the appropriate slot. It will
also work from right to left.
Ensure that the bottom edge of the document remains in contact with the base of the reader slot
and the movement is continuous.
4. When an OCR document is swiped the right hand LED usually turns red to show a bad read and
the buzzer sounds or the LED turns green and the buzzer stays quiet for a good read.
However the use of LEDs and buzzer may be under host control (that is your Departure Control
System (DCS) or other computer) and the audible and visual feedback will be different for your
application. You should ensure you understand your company’s local operating procedures
covering the order of swiping documents and the meaning of the feedback from your DCS and
the 3M RTE5000.
5. For RFID documents such as ePassports, swipe the OCR first and then place the passport
central and flat on the read surface. For US passports the document must be presented open
and with the chip side against the surface.
6. Contact smartcards can be simply inserted into the slot with the chip uppermost and entering into
the slot first.

4 Troubleshooting
If you do not receive any data at all then carry out the tests in section 4.1 otherwise if you receive some data but
some features do not work go to section 4.2.
See the Troubleshooting section of the Evaluator’s Guide for more complex troubleshooting tasks.
4.1 Scanner does not appear to work
This section describes some basic troubleshooting information designed to check whether the scanner is
working and connected to the test software.
1.
Connect the scanner and check that there is a green LED on the reader (rear left side). If this
is flashing or is not lit there is a power supply problem, the USB cable is not connected, the
USB hub does not support USB2.0 or the scanner is defective.
2.
Check that all the devices are visible as shown in section 3.2 above. If they are not visible use
device manager to remove any entries which have errored (check also the Universal Serial
Bus Controllers section), unplug the scanner from the PSU and the USB cable and reconnect.
If this does not work, then repeat and re-install the 3M RTE5000 device driver package.
3.
Start the RTE5000 ePassport Demo program. Check for error messages displayed either in a
box or on the status line at the bottom right of the screen. If you receive errors, then go to the
Setting tab and select Logging. Check the log file SwipeReader.log in the same directory as
the executable.
4.
If data arrives from the scanner but is wrong, then check the placement of the document on
the scanner and also that the document type is correct and of good quality.
5.
Check other document types using the various different reader devices.
4.2 The scanner connects but does not decode all data correctly
If the scanner reads certain documents correctly but does not decode either certain types of documents (e.g.
Visas) or an RFID data group or validation then the problem is most likely that the required feature has not been
enabled.
If errors randomly affect the same document or document type then either clean the scanner or check the
quality of the document printing.

5 Cleaning
For optimum performance the reader should be kept clean at all times. Under normal use it is recommended
that the reader is cleaned every two weeks.
Cleaning of the reader is extremely straightforward and no disassembly of the unit is required. Pre-saturated
disposable cleaning cards are provided to keep the reader in perfect condition, these are available directly from
3M or your distributor.
When ordering please quote 80-0057-99 for order quantities of 25, 50 or 100 cards.
Caution: When cleaning the reader:
Never use strong detergents or solvent based cleaners other than those supplied by 3M.
Never push sharp or metallic objects into the reader as this may result in damage to the
optical and magnetic systems.
• Outer Casing
The outer casing should be cleaned first. Gently wipe the casing with a soft lint free cloth.
• Optical Reader Slot
To clean the optical reader slot take out the cleaning card from it’s packaging and fold it in half (such that the
length of the card is halved but the width is the same). Swipe the card slowly backwards and forwards through
the read slot several times. Open the card out again. Wait several seconds for the card to dry. Fold the card
again but in the opposite direction. Swipe the card again several times to dry the read slot. Discard the used
cleaning card.
