This document describes the features and functions of the following readers:
•
3M™ Kiosk Full Page Reader, model # PV35-00-xx
•
3M™ Kiosk ePassport Reader, model # PV35-02-xx
These readers are designed to be used as a component of a self-service kiosk in applications that
require the reading of travel documents such as passports and ID cards. They are intended to be
physically installed within the kiosk, relying on the kiosk to provide a mechanical housing and
limit user access to placing travel documents on the reader’s glass imaging surface. The readers
are supplied with a software SDK and sample code to allow kiosk developers to customize their
applications.
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.
