Introduction

1 Introduction

This manual provides general operating instructions and information on how to correctly
operate the ID-Star 4054 ePassport Reader. A separate document describes how to
integrate the ID-Star 4054 ePassport Reader into a software application.

In keeping with its features and general applications, the ID-Star 4054 ePassport Reader
is also referred to as the ID-Star ePR, where ePR stands for ePassport Reader. This is to
express that the device has the capability to read so called ePassports. The

is a device alternative of the ID-Star 4054 CSR (Color Security Reader).

The ID reader is activated and controlled by a software application. Therefore, it is
important to read through the software documentation for your given application in order
to operate the system and understand the display elements.

1.1 System overview of ID-Star 4054 ePassport Reader

The ID-Star ePR is a device to collect data from travel documents. It integrates a scanner
unit to capture the optical properties of the documents and a RFID reader to give access
to the optional RFID components in modern passports. The device combines the benefits
of a compact design with state-of-the-art technology and the simplest ease of use.
Collecting both types of data is done in a single pass operation, that means the passport
has to be placed only once on the reader to read both properties of the document.

ID-Star ePR

Figure 1: The ID-Star 4054 ePR system in action

The scanner section of the ID-Star 4054 is designed to create color images of all kinds of
documentation, particularly travel documents. Various types of light can be used to
illuminate documents when imaging. By using various illuminations, you can capture
documents in compliance with standards as well as perform various authentication
checks. The images are transferred using a FireWire interface to a PC for further
processing. All additional processing takes place on the PC and includes features such as
real-time verification of document authenticity, character recognition (document reading)

Introduction

and archiving. In particular, the ID-Star 4054 provides you with fast and extremely reliable
recognition of travel documents. This feature has been developed in accordance with the

ICAO standard

(International Civil Aviation Organisation).

In parallel to the optical scanning and processing of the document the integrated RFID­reader can be used to read the data from the chip. The ID-4054 ePR contains an antenna
which was developed specially for this device and makes it possible to collect the chip
data independent of its location in the passport. By this technology it is possible to read
and verify all data from the passport by placing it only once on the ID-Star. The RFID­reader can automatically read all kind of chips (e.g. ISO 14443 type A and type B) which
are compliant with the standards of ICAO

(see chapter 6.2 regarding the regulation
concerning reading of ePassports). The software development kit (SDK) which is part of
the product delivery supports all common standards like e.g. BAC, secure messaging,
active authentication.

Introduction

1.2 Safety instructions

ATTENTION: The ID-Star 4054 ePassport Reader contains
sensitive, precision optical equipment. The sensitive components
may be damaged if the device is dropped or subjected to severe
vibrations. Exercise caution when handling the ID-Star 4054
ID-reader.

WARNING: NEVER open the housing on the ID-Star or power
supply. If you experience difficulties with your ID-reader, please
return it to the factory or authorised service partner for inspection.
For information on customer service, see chapter “Customer

services addresses”.

WARNING: Opening the housing may expose you to voltages
higher than 24 V / SELV.

WARNING: For safety reasons, only use the original power
supply included in the delivery.

WARNING: The device is not protected against moisture. Never
submerge the device or any of the components in water. Take
care to protect the device from being splashed.

Note: In cases of emergency (for instance, damage to housing,

substances), immediately switch off the device, unplug the power
and contact our customer service department. (chapter
“Customer services addresses

”)

Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment

NOTE: The ID-Star can be operated with laptops, desktops and PC towers that meet the
system requirements (see chapter “ID-Star 4054 ePR data sheet

”).

Installation and set-up instructions

2 Installation and set-up instructions

Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the previous chapter.

2.1 Before installation

Before connecting the ID-Star 4054, please ensure the following:

1. The packaging is not damaged

2. The ID-Star 4054 ePR is complete

3. Your system meets the system requirements (see chapter: ID-Star data sheet

We recommend that you do not dispose of the original packaging. Please retain it in case
you need to return the device.

2.2 Electrical connection conditions

For safety reasons, only use the original power supply included in the delivery.

The ID-Star 4054 ePassport Reader power supply is only intended for operation with AC
voltages. The following conditions must be maintained:

Input voltage: 100 V to 240 VAC
Power frequency: 50 Hz to 60 Hz

Contact your dealer immediately if
the delivery is damaged or
incomplete!

)

Figure 2: Power supply

Once you have checked the input voltage, the power supply may be attached to the power
outlet using the appropriate cable. For some countries, the device is delivered with the
appropriate cable.

If not included in the delivery, you should obtain a suitable cable. Please ensure that the
cable is approved for use in the country of operation.

L93123-N11-X-*-7419 2-1

Installation and set-up instructions

The following connection values apply for the scanner:

Nominal voltage: 24 VDC
Nominal current: 2.5 A

For safety reasons, only use the original power supply included in the delivery.

2.3 Setting up the scanner

The ID-Star 4054 ePassport ID reader is designed for operation either indoors or in
covered areas outside.

Condensation may form if the device is moved inside from a cold environment. If this is
the case, please wait until the temperature differential has balanced out and the device is
completely dry before attempting to operate it.

Never place the power supply on a surface that is sensitive to heat.

Never obscure the ventilation slots on the power supply.

Protect the system from dust, humidity and heat.

Do not place any heavy objects on the ID-Star 4054 ePR or on the power supply.

Please organise the work place so that the glass screen on the image capture unit is not
subjected to glare from direct light (harsh light sources in the viewing direction) or
reflections.

The image quality of your scanning results may suffer if harsh light sources point directly
into the scanner. The same applies to highly reflective surfaces positioned in the same
direction.

The illustration below is an example of an inappropriate position!
