Datastrip has launched its next generation EasyRead handheld reader, which can validate Machine Readable Travel Documents and verify document holders. The device reads and inspects first and second generation e-passports and border crossing credentials and government issued documents supporting U.S. VISIT and NEXUS Border Crossing programs. EasyRead’s optical camera-based scanner can capture two or three lines of machine readable data from passports, ID cards and visas, in addition to barcode symbologies. The capacitive fingerprint sensor supports authentication of biometric data if it is stored on these credentials. The device can be expanded to include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular network connectivity to remote databases.
