3. Initial Setup
• Each unit is shipped with one Lithium Polymer battery installed, though disconnected.
To connect the battery, you will need to remove the rear battery access cover and plug the
battery connector into the mating connector on the left hand side of the battery
compartment.
• It is recommended that you fully charge the internal battery before use to maximize
operating time before recharging is required. The unit will operate when connected via
the AC adapter regardless of the charge state of the internal battery.
• The DSV2+ contains an integrated charging circuit that allows the batteries to be charged
inside the unit whenever the unit is properly connected to the AC adapter. No external
standalone charger for batteries is required.
+ Please refer to Section 5. 0 “Battery Charging and Replacement”, for additional instructions and
The DSV2+ comes equipped with a backlit, 5-button keypad, shown at
right. The upper four keys are function-keys, and are vertically aligned
along the left side of the LCD display, enabling application software to
position “virtual buttons” appropriately. These keys are initially
programmed as standard “F1” through “F4” keys and are mapped as
cursor (arrow) keys.
Below the four function keys is the power switch. The power switch
has a bi-color (red/green) backlight indicator, which identifies whether
the system is on, charging, or running low on battery power. To turn
the unit on, you must depress and hold the power switch until a single
beep is heard, then immediately release it for an additional two beeps.
Holding the button too long will cause an “error” type beep sound and
the system will not be powered up or down, as the case may be. This
procedure helps to guard against accidental activation or shutdown of
the system.

section below.
6.6.1 Power States
Clicking the power schemes tab allows you to maximize battery life by programming the idle
time for each of the following conditions:
1. Fully On
• Every sub-system is on and operational
2. User Idle
• Touch screen or Function keys haven’t been used for some amount of time (user
configurable).
• Backlight is dimmed to save power, tap the screen and the backlight comes back on.
• All other internal subsystems are on
3. System Idle
• No major background software tasks are running
• Backlight remains dimmed in this state
• All other internal subsystems are on
4. Suspend
Suspend is indicated by flashing power button (flashed red if charging, green if charged
or on AC)
• USB subsystem is turned off
• Display and backlight are turned off
• CF cards are turned off
• Processor is put to sleep
• Tap the screen or give the power button a quick tap to wake up the unit to a fully on
condition
5. Fully Off
• Everything is off
• Push the power button to start the unit and return to a Fully On state
Note: The times configured by the user for each state are cumulative! For example, the time
required for the system to suspend is the sum of the time configured to go to User Idle + the time
to go to System Idle + the time to go to Suspend.
The DSV2+ battery gauge will help you monitor the battery state and the charge held in the
batteries. The battery gauges can be found in the Control Panel under Power Properties.
Clicking the battery tab displays the DSV2+ battery gauge. The gauge displays three battery
states and three battery charging levels.
Battery States – There are three battery states that are displayed above the Main Battery gauge
(left side). The battery states are as follows:
1. Main Battery – Unit is operating on battery power and no external AC adapter is
connected. The Power LED is Green.
2. External - External AC adapter is connected and the battery is fully charged. The
Power LED is Green.
3. Charging – External AC adapter is connected and the battery is charging. The unit
operates normally while simultaneously charging the battery. The power LED is
Green à Red flash
Battery Levels - The three battery levels that are color coded on the battery gauge:
1. Green – Battery charge is Good
2. Yellow – Battery charge is Low
3. Red – Battery charge is Very Low (“Critical”).
As seen in the color coded pie chart below, the three battery levels are not linear. If this were the
gas tank on your car, then “Yellow” would be a quarter of a tank and “Red” would be when the
refuel gas light comes on. When the battery gauge turns “Red”, you should immediately charge
the batteries by connecting the unit to an AC adapter or the unit will automatically shut down
when the voltage level drops below the minimum threshold.
There are four user warnings that occur when the battery level is “Very Low”:
1. The battery gauge turns “Red”
2. The power LED alternately flashes “Red” and “Green”
3. A “Warning” message pops up “Main Batteries Very Low”. This warning will repeat
itself periodically until the condition clears or the unit automatically shuts down.
4. An error beep sounds each time the warning message pops up.
The DSV2+ provides a mechanism that permits the recovery of lost or
damaged Operating System files via a “Safe Boot” mode. This
mechanism is similar to Microsoft Windows Safe Mode that is
available on PCs. If one or more Operating System files are damaged
or inadvertently deleted, when the unit is turned on it will automatically
boot-up into a smaller, limited function version of Windows CE that
will permit the recovery of the files or allow them to be replaced or
overwritten. This permits the unit to be repaired and then subsequently
rebooted using the full version of Windows CE. Safe Boot mode can
also be accessed on demand by holding down the F1 key while turning
on the power to the unit. A special bitmap will appear indicating that
the unit is booting-up in Safe Boot mode.
7. Demo Applications and Utilities
All of the applications listed below except “DsVerify2About” are located in the “\Storage
Card\DSVII” directory. The “DsVerify2About” is a hidden file in the Windows directory.
There are additional demonstration programs available as source code for custom software
development in the Datastrip DSVII SDK (sold separately).
7.1 Software Version Utility (DsVerify2About.exe)

specific drivers and components, software license settings, the unit
serial number, and the HW Configuration. To run this utility:
• Click Start \ Run
• Click Browse then Double tap the Windows folder
• Scroll over and double tap the application:
DatastripDsVerify2About.exe
• Click “OK”
This version information can be saved to a file by clicking on the
“Send to File” button.
This application demonstrates the primary features of the DSV2+ products – reading optical or
smart card media and performing one-to-one fingerprint matching. The types of documents
supported include the following document types or symbology that contains Datastrip-formatted
information:
• ISO 7816 Contact Smart Cards
• ISO 14443 Contactless Smart Cards
The following symbologies are supported on DSV2+ scanner products
• Datastrip2D and 2DSuperscript Two-Dimensional Barcodes
• PDF417
• OCRB
• Linear Barcodes
When this application is launched, the Main Screen is displayed and the unit is ready to scan a
document or read a smart card. The application automatically reads and decodes a submitted
document and the result is displayed in the Photo, Text, and Fingerprint windows. If the default
icon or text is displayed, the document did not contain that type of data.
If a fingerprint was stored on the document, the application will also perform a one-to-one match
of a fingerprint stored on the document to the fingerprint captured by the on-board fingerprint
sensor. This demonstrates a typical scenario of verifying that a card holder is the same person
whose fingerprint is stored on the document.

PIN authentication display the stored printed personalization
information on the card. This data can be used as necessary for
auditing, logging, or advanced determination of qualifications.
Tapping the Printed info button will initiate the PIN procedure
and after authentication provide the Printed info Display in the
application
The Biometric Button - This button is used (after pin authentication) to extract the biometric
template from the card. This is for future expansion on the system and allows for custom
integration into a biometric access control system if required by an individual organization.
Tapping the Biometric button will initiate the PIN procedure and
after authentication provide the Biometric Data Display in the
application. This additional functionality is included for systems
integrators to add biometric capabilities at some future point
using the DSVII CHUID SDK.
The Clr Button- Pressing the Clr Button will clear the data from
the Activity Log Window.
The Con Button- The Con or Configure button is used to setup
the configuration for acceptance of a PIV card based on the
following fields:
The default is that all values are accepted in any of these fields. If the value in any field is blank
the CHUID application accepts any correctly formatted value read from the PIV card as
acceptable. The system integrator or operator can set restrictions on the acceptance by placing
values in these fields. If there is a Value in any of these fields it will be compared against the
data read from the PIV card and if it does not match the card will be rejected. Pressing the Con
button brings up the CHUID Detailed Configuration screen.
To set the configuration an operator does the following actions:
1. Press the Con button
2. Enter the filter data into the appropriate field.
3. Click the OK button.
Card Type Radio Buttons- These buttons are used to select Contact or Contactless Cards to be
read. The contactless setting is there to allow system integrators to add contactless functionality
if required at some point in the future using the CHUID SDK, as well as for diagnostic testing
purposes. The default setting for this application is Contact and a user would have to change
this setting manually to move into contactless mode.
7.4 Digital Still Camera Demo (DsVerifyStillCameraTest.exe)
This application is used in conjunction with the optional Digital Still Camera (DSC) module to
demonstrate the capabilities of the camera subsystem.
After starting the application, the LCD displays preview images which are used to align the
subject in preparation of taking a snapshot. After aligning the subject in the display, pressing F1
will turn on the preview illumination (if selected in the settings), and then pressing F1 a second
time will capture and save the target image. If the preview illumination is not configured,
pressing F1 once will capture and save the target image.
Digital zoom can be controlled via the “Settings” menu or by using the F2 and F3 buttons:
• F3 = X2 digital zoom
• F2 = X1 digital zoom
Snapshots taken and stored by the camera may be viewed on the display via the menu selection
“FILE->Display latest Snapshot”. This will display the last snapshot acquired by the camera.
The user can then navigate to previous and next snapshots via the “FILE->Previous Snapshot”
and “FILE->Next Snapshot” menu selections. Once the user is done reviewing snapshots,
selecting “FILE->Exit snapshot display mode” will return the camera to the previewing state.
It is recommended that an external Compact Flash Storage Card be used for storing snapshots
since there is a limited amount of memory available on the internal Storage Card. All captured
images are stored in 24-bit color depth (full color) BMP files and are stored in the folder \Storage
Card2\DSVII\My Documents if an external Compact Flash card is inserted, or \Storage
Card\DSVII\My Documents if no card is inserted.
To ensure that an adequate amount of internal memory (RAM) is allocated for the camera when
capturing the highest quality images, it is recommended that a minimum amount of internal
memory be used by other applications, and the proper amount of program memory is allocated in
the DSV2+. To set the internal DSV2+ memory allocation for camera use, select “Start”->
“Settings”-> “Control Panel” -> “System”, select the “Memory” tab, then slide the memory
allocation bar to the left until approx. 3456 KB is allocated to storage memory.
Changes to the camera settings can be made via the “Settings” menu selection, and the settings
are stored in the registry and restored the next time the application is run. The Digital Still

EPassports and other Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD) contain, in a standard
format, the holders identification details, including a photograph or digital image, with
mandatory identity elements in a two-line Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) printed in Optical
Character Recognition-B (OCR-B) format at the bottom of the ePassport.
ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) has issued a set of guidelines on MRTD which
specifies that these documents should use an RFID chip that can be used to read the individual's
identification details using contactless media. The transmission of data is encrypted by "Basic
Access Control" (BAC) where the key is comprised of data contained on the document itself.
ICAO Viewer Application
The Datastrip ICAO Viewer application is a dialog-based application
created to demonstrate ePassport scanning and decoding. The
ePassport is first scanned to read the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ)
at the bottom of the ePassport. This information contains a key that
can then be used to open the contact-less Smart Card, when
presented to the DSV2+ smartcard reader, and to extract the
biometric information for verification purposes. The ICAO Viewer
application supports JPEG2000 images and is able to read Passports
that utilize passive authentication. The application is located in the
“\Storage Card\DSVII” directory in the folder
“EPassport_ICAOViewer.”
ICAO Figure #1
ICAO Viewer Operation
After opening the application follow the instructions in the dialog box and wait for the Scanner
and ICAO engine to activate. The initialization is complete when the dialog box reads, “Please
Insert Card or Scan Document”. See ICAO Figure#1
After scanning the ePassport the dialog box should indicate “OCR found…”, “Decoding…”. If
the OCR is successfully decoded, the dialog box should now read “OCR verified, present the
scanned document to the reader.” See ICAO Figure #2.
Once the ePassport is presented to the reader, and the green progress bar indicates data is being
read, see ICAO Figure #3. The Passport must continue to be held against the reader until all the
data has been completely read and the dialog box indicates “Read complete. Remove passport!”,
see ICAO Figure #4. If the dialog box does not indicate “Done” but displays “Please Insert Card
or Scan Document” the key did not verify (could be a bad scan or invalid key). Rescan the
document.
Results
The Document Security Object (SOD), which is a digital signature of the contents of the MRTD
generated by the issuance agency, is stored within the MRTD. It is very important that the
Document Security Object (SOD) is authenticated to prove that the Logical Data Structure
(LDS) is authentic and unaltered.
Passive Authentication (m)
– Proves that the contents of SOD and DGs are authentic and not
changed. It cannot, however, protect against perfect duplications of
the chip or chip substitution.
Active Authentication (o)
– Prevents copying SOD, authenticates chip and proves that chip and
physical passport belong together. It can ensure that the chip is
legitimate and issued by the country claimed
Basic Access Control (o)
– Prevents skimming, eavesdropping, and misuse. The e-Passport
cannot be read by an electronic reader until the machine-readable zone is read first
Results of AA and PA security features are displayed as follows:
AA green : AA successful
AA red : AA failed *
AA orange : AA not required
PA green : PA successful
PA red : PA failed *
PA orange : PA not required
* For AA and/or PA failure pressing F4 displays the errors encountered or relevant messages indicating the reason
of failure. F4 is used to toggle between displaying errors and displaying geographic details of DG1. However, F4
can be used to view errors only when one of these features fails. In all other cases, F4 will navigate you to the
Scanner tab. The errors you come across would be due to unsupported signature algorithms and/or hash algorithms.

This application demonstrates the capabilities of the fingerprint image sensor on the DSV2+ and
it provides a means of exercising the fingerprint imaging system. The application has several
buttons that allow a user to Scan to the display or Scan to File. Since this application is provided
as source code in the SDK, it is often used as an example for developers to observe how typical
application software can interface to the fingerprint subsystem. The source code for this application is provided in the SDK for developer use.
This application registers all of the Datastrip specific components of the DSV2+ that are needed
to read/write Smart Cards, scan documents, operate the Fingerprint sensor, and so forth. It is
typically run after a software update to registers the components in sequence and reports any
errors if it doesn’t succeed. If it finishes successfully, it pops up a message box indicating
“Finished Registration”. It can take up to a minute or two to complete this process.
Internally, this program calls regsvrce.exe to register each ActiveX control so that the interface
presented by the ActiveX control will be available for application use. This is usually followed
by RegistrySaver.exe (or Suspend) to make sure that the altered registry is written to flash
memory for future use. When this application is invoked, it queries the user for the specific
DSV2+ platform type (DSV2+-SC, DSV2+-SW, or DSV2+-PA) and writes the appropriate
platform type information into the registry along with the other registration information.
This application is used to save the current registry settings to flash memory. This is very useful
after adding applications (or applications components such as ActiveX controls) to DSV2+
products that require some aspect of the behavior to be registered. When any DSV2+ is
powered-on, the saved registry is read and used as part of WinCE startup. Datastrip ActiveX
components are registered (see DsVerifyRegInst application that follows) and then the registry
settings are saved using this application. The registry can also be saved by hitting “Suspend”
function that is located under the Start menu button, but this application is provided to save the
registry to the Storage Card without having to warm-start the unit.
The DsVerify2SoftwareUpdate application permits the user to download software updates from
several source locations are as list below:
• CAB files located on \Storage Card 2, \Storage Card, and USB thumb drives
• CAB files loaded directly from the Datastrip corporate FTP server, (requires a Datastrip
supplied) username and password that accesses a pre-determined account.
• CAB files loaded from user/developer designated FTP servers, given a username and
password to a valid account.

15.1.1 Adjusting the Docking Station Backrest
The docking station backrest has two positions. It is important to adjust the backrest correctly to
insure proper operation (i.e. serial connection) between the DSV2+ and the docking cradle.
Forward Position: This position should be used for DSV2+
terminals with the standard battery cover. See Figures #1 and #2.
Rear Position: This position should be used for DSV2+
with a Dual Grip Battery Cover, or a Dual Grip Camera Assembly. See Figures #3 & #4.
When not in use it is recommended that the Dual Grip tethered stylus cable be stored out of the
way by looping it around the dual grip rubber grips as shown in Figures # 5 and #6.
The flowing sub-sections describe both wired and wireless methods of establishing ActiveSync
communications between the DSV2+ (which runs Win CE) and a PC/Laptop with Windows XP.
Some typical operations you can perform via ActiveSync are:
• Synchronize, backup, and restore information on the DSV2+
• Add and remove files from the DSV2+
• Copy data between the DSV2+ and the PC
• Use the connection to debug programs you develop.

The SW and PA both scan documents at up to 600 dpi in 8-bit grayscale with a user selectable
illumination source of Near IR or RGB / Visible light. The default configuration of the scanner
is to use RGB / Visible light illumination since this setting works for a large percentage of
document types. However, many travel documents have a background printed in RGB and
OCBR symbology printed with carbon based ink which resonates in near IR wavelength;
therefore, it is recommended that the scanner be configured for IR illumination (see below) when

17.1 Scanner Settings
Listed below are the user configurable scanner settings. These
configuration options can be adjusted programmatically by calling API
functions or by using a Datastrip supplied sample application such as
DsVerifyScanTestAsync.exe which is located in the \Storage
Card\DSVII directory.
RGB Scanner Settings:
From the menu select “Scanner” and then select “Scanner settings…”
From the menu select “Scanner” and then select “Scanner settings…”
• Make sure the “IR” box is checked
• Set Intensity=35%.
• Leave all the other settings as default
Scan Region:
Left and Right: The parameters that define the length of the symbology that will be scanned on a
document. Left defines how far from the beginning of a document that the symbology starts.
Right defines how far from the beginning of a document that the symbology ends.
Top and Bottom: The parameters that define the width of symbology that will be scanned on a
document. Top defines the outside edge of the card guide and Bottom defines in the inside edge
of the card guide.
The default scan regions are set to the maximum length and width as follows:

Resolution:
When scanning OCRB documents the scanner resolution can be set for 200, 300 or 600 DPI.
When scanning Datastrip symbologies the resolution should be set for 600 DPI.
The compress option should be used to do decoding on the Host processor or to do document
archiving. The option will compress .BMP files to .JPEG making the file size smaller and the
internal file transfer faster.
Calibrate:
The default for this option is “Normalize” (calibrate box unchecked).
In Normalize mode the DSP looks for the darkest and lightest spots on the whole image and then
balances the image.
In Calibrate mode the DSP for the darkest and lightest spots on a row by row basis. This mode is
slower but sometimes helpful for problematic (“noisy”) images.
Wait Timeout:
The Wait Timeout is the time, in seconds, that the scanner subsystem will wait for a document to
be scanned before restarting the scanner subsystem.
