RTE8000 SSD – Full page passport scanner

The RTE8000 SSD is a full page passport scanner originally designed for use in self-service kiosks and automated border control systems. However, its ease of use and high speed also make it an ideal choice for busy immigration control desks.

With more and more airline passengers using self-service kiosks to check-in for international flights, the need for easy-to-use but highly accurate passport scanners has never been greater. The RTE8000 SSD satisfies that need by combining tried and tested OCR read technology with a full page, lay-on scanner.

The passenger simply places their travel document on the scanner glass, holds it still for a second and then removes it when prompted by a beep or spoken instruction. The scanner reads passports, visas, national ID cards and many other travel documents. Documents may be laid on the glass in any orientation making it easy to use and gaining passenger confidence. Poorly issued visas which are skewed or stuck upside down on the passport page present no problems.

Ease of use and speed are the most important factors for the passenger but for the airline, read accuracy and data quality are just as vital. The RTE8000 SSD achieves industry leading read performance on real-life travel documents, even those that are poorly printed or have suffered from years of use.

When needed the RTE8000 SSD is also able to capture full colour images of MRTD’s as well as colour images of UV security features.

The optional RF features enables the RTE8000 SSD in a single operation to scan the data page of an e-Passport, read the OCR codelines from the MRZ and read the data from the contactless chip.
