Back panel
The back panel contains the power switch, power supply connector, and USB ports. Data is sent to the
host PC through the USB host connector. When powered from the optional external power supply, the
reader also functions as a USB 2.0 hub. It has two auxiliary ports for connecting additional USB
peripherals (such as a mouse, keyboard, or 2D barcode reader).
The Kensington® Security Slot can be used to tether the reader to the workspace.
The reader is capable of operating on USB 2.0 power. However, when operating on USB power, due to
the limited power available over the USB interface:
performance of the reader will be superior when using the external power supply
the back panel USB peripheral ports will not be available.
A power supply is included with each Gemalto AT9000 MK2 Full Page Reader.
To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury:
Do not use the reader with any AC power supply other than the provided Gemalto AC
power supply.
Do not use AC power supply and/or power cord if damaged.
Do not open the reader and/or power supply. Reader is to be serviced by trained
personnel only. No user serviceable parts or adjustments inside.

Use only in an indoor dry location. Do not use the product in an outdoor and/or wet
environment.
Document hood
The Document Reader AT9000 MK2 features a semi-enclosed hood that performs two functions: it holds
the document in place to enable hands-free operation and it minimizes ambient light to ensure high-
quality scans. The hood can easily be removed if the user needs to scan an extra thick document, or if
the user finds it more convenient to use the reader this way.
The Gemalto Document Reader AT9000 MK2 can compensate for ambient light in most bright office
environments.
