Reading Documents
The 3M™ AT9000 MK2 Full Page Reader reads the barcode and machine-readable zone (MRZ) text on
both identification cards and passports. When a document is properly aligned on the document window,
the reader automatically captures an image and then performs optical character recognition (when there
is OCR data), followed by barcode recognition.
The AT9000 MK2 Full Page Reader with RFID option can detect and read information encoded on
contactless integrated circuits (chips) in passports and ID cards. Whether the chip is in the front or rear
cover, the data page, or any other page, the reader's antenna will detect and read the chip. You do not
have to turn the book around to ensure the chip is read.
Document layout
Identification cards typically have a photo and basic information on the front and a 3-line MRZ on the
back.
Passports have a photo, vital information and a 2-line MRZ on the front.
