The PENTA Scanner can be equipped with the following modules
Different light sources
By default, the device is equipped to work with visible and infrared light. An optional UV light source allows reliable and complete ID verification by revealing “hidden” document security features.
OCR technology
As a standard feature, the device works with OCR for optical character recognition and reliably reads all data from the Machine Readable and Visual Zone (MRZ).
Barcode reader
1D and 2D barcodes can be read either from paper or from digital displays, for example on smartphones.
RFID
In order to read RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips on biometric passes, an RFID module can be integrated.
NFC
For contactless data collection, the terminal can be equipped with an NFC (Near Field Communication) module. This also makes you ideally prepared for future requirements.
Magnetic strip reader
Bi-directional swipe reader on the front of the magnetic stripe card reader.
Chip card reader
A module for reading smart cards can also be integrated.
