RTE8000 Getting Started Guide
1 INTRODUCTION
The RTE8000 is a family of versatile multi-function
scanner, designed to read the full page of passports,
visas and other travel documents and capture multiple
images for use in document authentication and
biometric analysis. A fully integrated RFID reader can
be included to completely read the ePassport chip at
the same time as the camera scans the document.
Their small footprint makes them ideal for use on airline
check-in desks and immigration control booths. The
scanners have no motorised moving parts ensuring
maximum reliability and low maintenance.
The RTE8000 has a semi-enclosed hood to hold the
document and give high quality UV images regardless
of the ambient light. The RTE8000 SSD is designed for
use in self-service kiosks and automated border control systems and has a half-length hood making it very
easy to place a document. Because of this simplicity the RTE8000 SSD is great for self-service kiosks
where a large number of un-initiated passengers will be checking in for international flights.
