JT-P100

The new ultracompact ePassport Reader with proprietary technology for faster reading

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.

Faster Reading

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

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 and BAC 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.

Reading IC data

Proprietary technology boosts reading speed

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

: Basic Access Control as defined by ICAO. Protects privacy of IC data.

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

The world's smallest class, ePassport Reader

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.

Accurate OCR even if passport positioning is sloppy

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.

Easy-to-use light-tight coverless design

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.

A wealth of experience and expertise

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.

How Panasonic Approaches the MRP Reader

Development based on

listening to what users say

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.

Due to printing irregularities, actual shades may vary slightly from the photo. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
