Reading standard documents
This section describes proper document placement for typical documents. When reading typical
documents the booklet slides under the clip against the document guide.
To read a standard document:
1.
Hold the document open as you place it on the document window.
2.
Place the booklet or card on the document window close to the left so the left edge is against the
document guide and then slide it back so the leading edge is fully inserted at the back of the
document window.
The hood was designed to hold a document in a natural semi-opened position. This hands-free
function allows you to release the document and focus on the traveler.
3.
During reading, the document must lie flat against the document window. The leading edge of the
booklet or card should be all the way to the back of the document window (and underneath the
document clip, if installed). The left edge of the booklet must be against the document guide.
4.
When the document reaches its proper position, the reader will automatically start scanning the
document.
Note:
The outer half of the booklet must lie flat against the bezel to ensure that any chip located in
the back half of the booklet is read properly.
5.
Observe the indicator lights during the scanning procedure:
The Ready light (blue) turns off and the Busy light (yellow) turns on while the reader scans and
processes the data.
The OK light (green) turns on, indicating a successful read.
The Ready light (blue) turns on, indicating that the reader is ready to scan another document.
The data from the document is sent to the PC.
