HID OCR310e, Miniature OEM OCR Reading Engine

Product Description

HID OCR310e, Miniature OEM OCR Reading Engine

The OCR310e is an optical character recognition (OCR) swipe reader module and forms part of HID's ID document reader portfolio. Combining ultra-compact size and low-power consumption, the OCR310e is designed to be integrated into third-party, hand-held devices for applications such as portable identification verification devices.

An OCR magnetic swipe reader and decoder is integrated within the device using an advanced recognition engine to provide highly accurate and very fast identity document reading.

The OCR reading engine captures code lines from machine readable passports (MRP), visas (MRV), US and international resident permits as well as European and other national ID cards conforming to ICAO 9303 & ISO/IEC 7501-1 (2 and 3-line MRZ). It will also read the new ISO/IEC 18013-1 driving licenses (1-line MRZ), making it future-proofed.

In addition, APACS debit and credit documents (APACS standards 3.1 and 3.2, respectively) can be read together with E13B, OCRB and mixed E13B and OCRB fonts.
