The adjacent figure shows how an ePassport
should be placed in the EasyRead. The passport
should be opened to the data page, and this page
should be placed against the glass platen so it can
be optically scanned and decoded by the terminal.
Once the document is optically scanned, the
system then automatically reads the embedded
smart card integrated circuit in the ePassport*.
* A software application, such as “ICAO
Viewer” should be launched in order to
activate a scan and read process
Shown below are the typical motions for inserting and reading an ePassport. The top sequence of photos
shows the normal operation where the operator can continuously see the LCD screen and observe the
reading operation. The bottom sequence of photos is shown for clarity.

Contactless Smart Card Reader
The EasyRead can also be used to read a wide range of other ISO
14443 smart card media. Either antenna can be used to read ISO 14443
smart card media. The system will automatically select which antenna
to use. Place and hold the smart card media to be read against the back
of the terminal in the center of the antenna. The adjacent figure shows
a CR80 sized smart card credential centered against the upper antenna.
