DESKO ICON Scanner®

THE COMPACT SOLUTION FOR FAST AND EFFICIENT DATA CAPTURE

Are you looking for a high-quality, reliable solution for scanning ID documents? Thanks to innovative OCR technology and excellent scanning characteristics, the DESKO ICON Scanner® guarantees secure data and image capture for IDs, passports, driver’s licenses and many other documents involving personal data. This makes it a perfect solution for a wide variety of sectors that require rapid electronic capture of data. From hotel check-in, age controls in casinos or car rental contracts, car dealers etc. – the ICON Scanner assists you with your work processes by simplifying and accelerating the reading, saving and processing of data.

HIGH-RESOLUTION SCANS, ACCURATE DATA AND FLEXIBLE DATA PROCESSING

The first-class scanning technology developed by DESKO, user-friendly operation and high quality “Made in Germany” make the ICON Scanner the top choice for efficient data and image capture. The full-page scanner reads data from all IDs and passports and produces high-resolution images. DESKO scanning technology with anti-reflective effect prevents light spots or reflections that could be caused by lamination or holographic print. The scanner detects the format of the ID, collects the personal data and photograph and automatically cuts the scans to size. Using a USB connection, it transfers the data that is read out to your application. You can then easily process this data there.

Since the reader is compatible with our software DESKO ID|Analyze® and can also be connected with your system, data processing is especially easy. For example, you can transfer the data that is read out to reservation forms, contracts, customer files or registrations. This saves time and prevents typographical errors or transposed numbers or letters, which can easily occur when data is typed in manually. There is also the option of saving the digital scans and deleting them within a specified period as necessary.

RAPID READING OF ID DOCUMENTS

The ICON Scanner automatically detects and differentiates between the formats ID 1, ID 2 and ID 3 for identity documents. As a result, it is capable of reading the following ID documents, for example:

  • ID cards ID documents
  • Passports Driver’s licenses
  • Residence permits
  • Work permits
  • Employee ID cards
  • Student ID cards
