4.1 Powering the Unit ON / OFF and System Startup Sequence

The Power Button is located to the top left of the QWERTY keypad as shown in the diagram above. The power switch has an adjacent tri-color (red/green/yellow) LED, which identifies whether the system is on, charging, or running low on battery power (see section 4.3).

4.1.1 Power ON

• To power on the mobile terminal from the OFF state, press the Power button, and hold it down

until one beep is heard (less than one second). When the button is released, a rising tone (mid tone followed by a higher frequency tone) is produced.

• The unit takes approximately 30 seconds to boot up. The display will indicate that the system is

booting. During this time, the BIOS is loaded, and diagnostic testing is performed.

• When the unit finishes powering up, the Windows CE.NET desktop will appear on the display.

4.1.2 Power OFF

• To turn off the mobile terminal, press the Power button for 1 to 15 seconds. The system will

briefly go into Suspend mode and save the WinCE registry contents to non-volatile memory. The system will then automatically proceed to the OFF state.

• Pressing the Power button for more than 15 seconds commands the unit to perform an emergency

shutdown, and any unsaved information may be lost. An operator should only use the emergency shutdown procedure if the mobile terminal is not responding.

4.1.3 Suspend Mode

Suspend mode is one of the low power states of the mobile terminal where:

• The USB subsystems are turned off

• The CF card slot is turned off

• The backlight for the LCD and keypad is dimmed

• The processor is put in a low power mode

Reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited.

4209-00009-000 EasyRead (DSV3-EP) User’s Manual Rev 0E 6/29/2009

There are several ways that the mobile terminal can go into Suspend mode from the Power ON state:

• Power Button: The mobile terminal will go into Suspend mode if the operator presses the Power

button for less than 1 sec while the unit is in the fully Power ON state. If the Power button is pressed for more than 1 sec, the unit will perform a normal Power Off sequence.

• Touchscreen: The touchscreen interface can be used to command the mobile terminal to go to

Suspend mode via the Start/Suspend command.

• Automatic Power Management: The mobile terminal can be configured to go to Suspend mode

automatically (see section 5.3) if the touchscreen or function buttons have not been used for some (user configurable) amount of time.

4.11 Contactless Smart Card Reader

The EasyRead terminal has an integrated Contactless Smart Card reader subsystem (transceiver and antennas). The terminal is equipped with two separate antennas for reading ePassports, since some countries have placed the contactless smart card chip in the front cover of the ePassport, while other countries have place it in the rear cover. The EasyRead can also be used to read a wide range of other (non-ePassport) ISO 14443 smart card media. Either antenna can be used to read these smart card media; however, the upper antenna is typically more convenient. Place and hold the media to be read against the back of the terminal in the center of the antenna. Once the media is in place, the system will automatically select which antenna to use.

5 Basic Operation

The following sections describe some of the features and functions that are available on the DSV3 family of products.

5.1 Stylus Usage

A stylus is provided to use with the touch screen for selecting items and entering information (the unit may also be operated with a standard USB mouse). The stylus can be found in the stylus holder on the back of the EasyVerify and the front of the EasyRead. Typical actions to perform with the stylus include:

• Tap: Lightly touch the screen once with the stylus to select an object. Tapping is equivalent to

clicking an item with the mouse on your personnel computer.

• Double-Tap: Lightly touch the screen twice with the stylus to open folders and applications.

Double-Tapping is equivalent to Double-clicking an item with the mouse on your personnel computer.

• Drag: Hold the stylus on the screen and drag it across the screen to select text and images. Drag

within a list to select multiple items.

• Tap-and-Hold: Tap and hold the stylus on an item for a short period until a menu displays a list

of actions available for that item. Tapping and holding is equivalent to right-clicking al computer mouse button. When you tap and hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate that the menu will soon pop up. Tap the action you want to perform on the pop-up menu that appears.

5.2 Touch Screen Adjustments

The touch screen is calibrated during factory acceptance tests. If you wish to recalibrate these setting to suit your personnel preferences, the following options are available:

• Calibration: If your device is not responding properly to your screen taps, you may need to

recalibrate your screen. Go to the Control Panel, select Stylus Properties and under the “Calibration” tab, click the “Recalibrate” button and follow the on screen instructions. When you are told to “press enter” to accept the setting, just tap the screen anywhere, then click the “OK” button.

• Double-Click Sensitivity: Go to the Control Panel and select Stylus Properties. Double–tap the

checkerboard grid to set the double-tap sensitivity for both speed and physical distance between the taps. Then double tap the icon below the checkerboard to verify your settings. Click the “OK” button when done.

• Brightness and Contrast: The display brightness and contrast can be adjusted for different

operating environment lighting conditions. Go to the Control Panel, select Display and under the “Backlight” tab adjust the slider control then click the “OK” button.

5.3 Power Management

The Power Properties for the terminal can be configured and monitored by double clicking the Power icon in the WinCE Control Panel. The Battery tab displays the battery gauge / charge status, and the Schemes tab allows the user to configure the timeout for each of the Power States defined below.

5.3.1 Power Management States

Clicking the Schemes tab allows you to configure when the system enters into the various power management modes available to maximize battery life. An operator can configure the time the system must be idle before entering each of the available power management states.

Note: The times configured 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.

Battery Charge Level

Reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited.

4209-00009-000 EasyRead (DSV3-EP) User’s Manual Rev 0E 6/29/2009

5.4.1 Charging States

The Power Properties / Battery tab window also shows that state of the internal battery charger. There are three charging states.

• Main Battery: The terminal is operating on battery power and no external AC adapter is

connected.

• External: External AC adapter is connected and the battery is fully charged.

• Charging: External AC adapter is connected and the battery is charging. The unit operates

normally while simultaneously charging the battery.

5.4.2 Battery Charge Level States

The charge level state of the battery is also listed in the Power Properties / Battery tab window. There are three charge level states. When the battery gauge is “Very Low”, the battery should be immediately charged by connecting the unit to an AC adapter or the unit will automatically shut down when the voltage level drops below the minimum threshold.

• Good: Battery charge is Good

• Low: Battery charge is Low (<10% remaining)

• Very Low: Battery charge is Very Low / Critical (4% remaining)

5.4.3 Other Indicators

There are three user warnings that occur when the battery level is “Very Low”: See sections 4.2 and 4.3 for the LED and tone indicator states that also provide user feedback regarding battery charge levels and charging states.

• The power LED alternately flashes Red and Green (see section 4.3)

• A warning message pops up “Main Battery Very Low”. This warning will repeat itself

periodically until the condition clears or the unit automatically shuts down.

• An error beep sounds when the battery charge level is critical.

5.5 Creating Desktop Shortcuts

To create desktop shortcuts, locate the application for which you want to create a shortcut. Tap and hold the stylus on the application until the options menu pops up. Select Copy and go to the directory where you want to put the shortcut. Tap and hold the stylus until the options menu pops up and select “Paste Shortcut”.

5.6 Safe Boot Mode

The system 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 have been 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.

6 Software Utilities

All of the utilities listed below except “DsVerify2About” are located in the My Device\Hard Disk\DSV3 directory. The “DsVerify2About” is a hidden file in the \My Device\Windows directory. There are additional demonstration programs available as source code for custom software development in the Datastrip MT SDK (sold separately).

Reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited.

4209-00009-000 EasyRead (DSV3-EP) User’s Manual Rev 0E 6/29/2009

6.1 Software Version Utility (DatastripDSVerify2About.exe)

This utility reports the Operating System (OS) Version, the versions of all Datastrip specific drivers and components, software license settings, the unit serial number, and the hardware 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.

6.2 DsVerify Registry Install Utility (DsVerifyRegInst.exe)

This application registers all of the Datastrip specific components of the terminal 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 register the components in sequence, and it reports any errors if it does not succeed. If it finishes successfully, there will be a pop-up 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 mobile terminal type (DSVII-SC, DSVII-SW, DSVII-PA, DSV3-SP, or DSV3-EP) and writes the appropriate platform type information into the registry along with the other registration information.

6.3 DsVerify Registry Saver Utility (RegistrySaver.exe)

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) that require some aspect of the behavior to be registered. When the terminal is powered-on, the saved registry is read and used as part of WinCE startup. Datastrip ActiveX components are registered (see DsVerifyRegInst application) and then the registry settings are saved using this application. The registry can also be saved by hitting the Start/Suspend function; however, this application is provided to save the registry to non-volatile memory without having to warm-start the unit.

6.4 Fingerprint Capture Utility (DsVerifyFpCaptureTest.exe)

This application demonstrates the capabilities of the integrated fingerprint image sensor, 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.

10 Software Demo Applications

10.1 Smart Card Reader & Scanner Demo (SuperViewer.exe)

This application demonstrates the primary features of Datastrip’s mobile terminals: reading optical media, reading smart card media, and performing one-to-one fingerprint matching. The SuperViewer application only reads and decodes media that contains Datastrip-formatted information payloads.

The following types of smart card media are supported by SuperViewer:

• ISO 14443 Contactless Smart Cards

• ISO 7816 Contact Smart Cards (only supported on units equipped with the optional ISO 7816

contact smart card reader module)

The following optical symbologies are supported by SuperViewer (on units equipped with an optical scanner).

• Datastrip2D and 2DSuperscript Two-Dimensional Barcodes (not support on DSV3)

• PDF417

• OCRB

• Linear Barcodes

When SuperViewer 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 ID verification (verifying that a card holder is the same person whose fingerprint is stored on the document).

Main Screen

Clicking the Datastrip logo will return the user to the Main Screen and will reset the scanner subsystem (if the unit contains an optical scanner subsystem). On the Main Screen, a user can perform the following operations:

10.2 Digital Still Camera Demo Application (DsVerifyStillCameraTest.exe)

This application is used in conjunction with the optional Digital Still Camera (DSC) hardware module to demonstrate the capabilities of the camera subsystem. The DSC is a currently available option on the EasyVerify (DSV3-SP), but is not yet available on the EasyRead (DSV3-EP).

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.

An external USB or compact flash storage card can be used for storing snapshots to conserve the embedded non-volatile memory. All captured images are stored in 24-bit color depth (full color) BMP files and are stored in the following folder: depending on the media used:

• Internal non-volatile memory: /Hard Disk/DSV3/My Documents

• External USB memory: /Storage Card/DSV3/My Documents

• External CF memory: /Hard Disk2/DSV3/My Documents

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 Camera settings include:

10.6 EPassport ICAO Viewer (ICAO Viewer.exe)

The ICAO Viewer application is a sample application designed to demonstrate the reading and validation of an ePassport. The data read from the ePassport is displayed on the screen. The application is able to perform access control and data validation security mechanisms such as Passive Authentication (PA), Basic Access Control (BAC), and Active Authentication (AA) as mandated by the ICAO standards body.

The ePassport is first optically scanned by the terminal to read the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) at the bottom of the data page. The MRZ contains a key that is then used to access the contactless smart card IC embedded in a BAC enabled ePassport. After the terminal reads and decodes the MRZ from the ePassport and then extracts the key, the terminal then uses its smart card reader to read, decode, and validate the information in the ePassport’s smart card IC. For DSV3 terminals, the ICAO Viewer application (for Virtual Comm mode: see section 12.3) is located in the following directory:

My Device/Hard Disk/DSV3/EPassport_ICAOViewer_VCOM

10.6.1 EPassport Overview

An ePassport contains a standard data page as is found in legacy passport. However, it also contains a an RFID IC that is used to electronically store and retrieve the holder / owner’s identification details using contactless media. The transmission of this data is encrypted by "Basic Access Control" (BAC) where the key is comprised of data contained on the document itself.

Reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited.

10.6.2 ePassport Security Mechanisms

The Document Security Object (SOD) is a digital signature of the contents of the ePassport (or MRTD) and is generated by the issuance agency. The SOD is stored within the ePassport and can be authenticated to prove that the document is authentic and unaltered. There are several levels of security mechanisms available:

• Passive Authentication (mandatory): Proves that the contents of SOD and stored information are

authentic and not changed. It cannot protect against perfect duplications of the IC or IC substitution.

• Active Authentication (optional): Prevents copying SOD, authenticates IC, and proves that IC

and physical passport belong together. It can ensure that the IC is legitimate and issued by the country claimed.

• Basic Access Control (optional): Prevents skimming, eavesdropping, and misuse. The e-

Passport cannot be read by an electronic reader until the machine-readable zone is read first.

10.6.3 ICAO Viewer Operation

After opening the application, follow the instructions in the dialog box at the bottom of the main screen, and wait for the Scanner and ICAO engine to activate. The initialization is complete when the dialog box reads, “Please Insert Card (Scan Manual Mode)”. Shown in the adjacent figure is the main screen.

Note that the ICAO Viewer application has a tab driven user interface. By selecting various tabs, a user can access different information, or can change various configuration options.

Insert an ePassport to be scanned and decoded. You may need to press “F4” to restart the scanner module if it has time out and powered down. The power down mode is indicated by the status bar at the bottom of the display being colored orange.

After the passport is inserted, an optical scan is initiated. The first operation that is performed is to decode and display the MRZ data. Once this is successfully performed, the unit beeps once and the MRZ data is displayed at the top of the main window.

The next step is to begin reading the smart card IC. A dialog box will display the incremental status, and show a progress bar as the data is being read.

Results Indicators

PA red: PA failed * PA orange: PA not performed

Audio Feedback:

• Successful Passport Read: Three beeps will be played consecutively upon the successful reading

of the electronic content from the presented passport. The user can remove the presented passport when the beeps sound and the contents will be displayed on the screen. This audio feedback indicates that the passport read was completed.

• Security Requirement not Fulfilled: A sound (exclamation) is heard in the cases of non-

fulfillment of security requirements. Listed below are some possible security requirement issues. Following a scan or read failure, the scan mechanism is initiated to restart the read cycle.

§ BAC passport presented to the contactless smart card reader without first scanning the MRZ

§ MRZ mismatch between the scanned passport MRZ and the presented passport

§ Premature termination of RF coupling between the passport and the reader during read

initialization.

Errors and Event Logging: Should any errors be encountered during an ePassport inspection procedure, it is recommended to remove the passport and try again. If the same errors are experienced, the operator may activate event logging from the Settings tab and repeat the inspection procedure. Send the generated textual log found in the Application folder to the Datastrip support team for review.

12 Using the Optical Scanner & Smart Card Reader

12.1 Reading ePassports

The EasyRead is optimized for one-step reading of electronic passports (ePassports) and standard passports. An ePassport is the same as a traditional passport with the addition of a small integrated circuit (smart card IC) embedded in the cover. All ePassports are indicated by an internationally recognized logo (shown below), printed on the front cover.

ePassport logo

The smart card integrated circuit in an ePassport stores:

• The biographical data visually displayed on the data page of the passport

• The passport holder’s photograph stored in digital form

• A unique chip identification number

• A digital signature to protect the stored data from alteration.

• Other optional data as defined by the ICAO standards body.

The EasyRead is equipped with two separate antennas for reading ePassports, since some countries have placed the contactless smart card chip in the front cover of the ePassport, while other countries have place it in the rear cover. Having two antennas ensures that the ePassport smart card IC can be read seamlessly after scanning the MRZ without having to move the document away from the optical scanner.

12.3 Optical Scanner

The EasyRead can also be used to read and decode a wide range of other documents containing optical symbology. The terminal contains a 1.2 Megapixel image sensor that provides high resolution scanning (image capture) for decoding numerous optical symbologies. It contains enhanced scanning and decoding algorithms and can decode all standard 1 dimensional and common 2 dimensional barcodes. There is a comprehensive SDK that enables rapid custom application development.

The supported optical symbologies are listed below. The entries marked as optional do not ship standard with the EasyRead (DSV3-EP); however, they are available for purchase.

Composite Code (optional)

12.3.1 Scanning Instructions

To scan a document, you need to be running some scanning software application such as ICAO Viewer.exe (for ePassports) or DsCameraScannerEPTest.exe. The document or credential to be scanned should then be inserted in the document slot and held against the glass platen. The optical symbology to be read and decoded should be facing the glass platen. The adjacent figure shows the typical placement of a CR80 (i.e. credit card sized) document.

12.3.2 Scanner Software Interface / Operating Mode

The camera scanning control has several settings that affect the behavior of the scanning operation. There are two different modes in which the scanner can be configured:

• USB HID (Human Interface Device) as a keyboard emulation mode

• USB Virtual Com mode with Datastrip control API

When the camera scanner is configured for Virtual Com mode, a rich software API is then available to control the behavior of the device. Virtual Com mode allows more software developer control over the scanner and more significantly, it enables the reading of binary (non printable) data found often in 2D barcodes.

USB HID keyboard emulation mode is a more simplistic approach of using the camera scanner. The main drawback of the HID mode is that it can only decode printable characters. Decoding binary data in this mode is not possible since the binary data contains ASCII like control characters. It also does not allow for full configuration of the scanner, for a more methodic scanning operation, for status checking, or for a watchdog mechanism. To use the scanner in HID mode, a software developer only needs to:

• Invoke some basic initialization / de-initialization methods

• Activate and deactivate a trigger

• Create a focused input window in which the decoded results will be captured and displayed
