The new ultracompact ePassport Reader
with proprietary technology for faster reading

Passport number and photograph are captured in

0.1 seconds, with processed data output, in
approximately 1 second. IC data from Japanese
passports is read in 2 seconds. Since conventional
ePassport readers require PCs to process OCR

data, their processing time depends on
PC performance. Panasonic ePassport Readers
comes with embedded circuitry to handle OCR and
BAC processing, eliminating the need for PCs and
making them easier to install wherever needed.

Faster Reading

1-second for text, 2-seconds
for IC data

Compact & Simple Design

W200 x D190 x H127mm compact dimensions make it easy to install on
even the narrowest counter. To reduce burden on operators, the reading
surface height is only 115mm.

The world's smallest class, ePassport Reader

Rich array of capabilities

Comes with UV and IR image capture and 1 and 2-dimensional
barcode reading capabilities to support a wider range of applications.

The passport can be held a few millimeters above the glass, held upside
down, or skewed. Image angle and rotation are automatically adjusted to
ensure accuracy.

Accurate OCR even if passport positioning is sloppy

Ordinary eMRP readers require an annoying cover to exclude ambient
light. The wide dynamic range of the Panasonic sensor eliminates the
need for a cover.

Easy-to-use light-tight coverless design

The IC reader module has been used in more than 200,000 installations.
Its design reflects the depth of Panasonic expertise in the OCR and IC
feature domains. Its advanced features allow it to read even passports
that make not conform precisely to ICAO standards.

A wealth of experience and expertise

OCR and contactless IC reader modules were developed and
manufactured exclusively by Panasonic optimize processing for faster
reading speed.

Proprietary technology boosts reading speed

In the world's smallest class configuration, the JT-P100 ePassport Reader includes color and IR/UV image capture
and barcode reading capabilities. Its broad range of applications includes strict but efficient immigration control,
aircraft boarding procedures, and hotel guest management.

How Panasonic Approaches the MRP Reader

In the 20 years since Panasonic began to supply immigration

authorities with the world's first high-speed, camera-type

passport image reader, we have worked to make our readers

more accurate, faster, and easier to use, plus smaller and

more portable as well. We listen carefully to what users

say as we continue research and development

on even better devices.

Development based on

listening to what users say

For more than a decade, Panasonic has participated

numerous times in compatibility tests to ensure that ePassport

readers satisfy international standards.
