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.

Safety precautions
5 Safety precautions
Only authorized qualified personnel should carry out repairs on the device. Unauthorized
opening of the housing and improper repairs may endanger the user (risk of electric shock
or fire).
5.1 Trouble shooting
What should I do if…
1. ... the application cannot find the scanner
⇒ Check whether the adapter is switched on and that the main power cable is firmly
attached to the scanner and power supply.
⇒ Check the FireWire connection.
⇒ Ensure that the application has only been started once and/or that only one piece of
application software is using ID-Star 4054 ePassport Reader.
2. ... the reader system produces poor recognition results
Possible causes:
• The original document moved during the scan.
⇒ Repeat the read process while ensuring that the original document does not move.
• The glass plate of the scanner is dirty.
⇒ Clean the glass.
• The document does not conform with the ICAO norm.
3. ... placing a document on the scanner does not trigger scanning
⇒ Please read the operating manual relevant to your application. The application
software determines whether the reader triggers scanning automatically or if it has
to be started manually.
⇒ When switching on the device, an original document had been placed on the glass
plate and the scanner could not be scaled correctly.
⇒ Please check whether the ball in the lid is dirty or whether there are other reasons
why it cannot be recognized.
4. ... slight clattering noise can be heard while moving or placing the ID-Star 4054 ePR.
⇒ This is not a fault on the device. For technical reasons, one of the components
used inside the device produces this noise. This may result in a light clatter in
some devices but should not be a cause for concern.
