RTE6701 – OCR passport reader

The RTE6701 Passport Reader is a highly efficient, compact passport reader designed for use by Immigration Authorities, Border Control Police and International Airlines.

In a simple hand-swipe operation the RTE6701 Passport Reader captures the OCRB codelines from all Machine Readable Travel Documents which conform to the international standard specified by ICAO in Document 9303. This covers Machine Readable Passports (MRP), Machine Readable Visas (MRV), and OCRB encoded cards such as the US Resident Alien card and various national ID cards.

Designed to suit busy, restricted environments, the RTE6701 Passport Reader provides fast and efficient data capture. Hand-swipe operation makes the passport reader simple to use and its wide tolerance to varying swipe rates ensures a very high first time read rate. This makes the passport reader an ideal choice for "self-service" use by the general public. Use of the RTE6701 passport reader by international airlines enables their passengers to enjoy the clearance benefits of Advance Passenger Information Systems (APIS).

The RTE6701 passport reader has fully integrated electronics and absolutely no moving parts which makes it highly reliable and virtually maintenance free.

The compact design of the RTE6701 passport reader gives a very small footprint and, mounted at almost any angle, it can be integrated into the smallest immigration or check-in desk environment. Host connection to the RTE6701 passport reader is via an RS232 interface or keyboard wedge and the industry standard interfaces allow simple integration into existing airport and immigration control systems.
