Introduction
This document describes the features and functions of the 3M™ AT9000 Fullpage Readers,
models PV40-xx-xx-xx-xx.
Features Overview
The 3M™ AT9000 Fullpage Readers are a family of intelligent optical character recognition
(OCR) and full-image capture devices that provide automated data capture from a variety of
personal identification documents. They read data from documents with:
• Machine-readable text
• 1D or 2D barcodes
• Contact or contactless integrated circuit (IC) chips
• Covert security features
Each reader provides imaging in:
• 24-bit visible colour
• Infrared (IR)
• Ultraviolet (UV)
• Optional retro-reflective (for 3M™ Confirm™ Laminate)
The document window is larger than International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
documents so that larger documents can be placed on the window.
The readers perform optical character recognition on documents that conform to ICAO 9303
specifications, and send data from the document to a host computer over a Universal Serial Bus
(USB) connection.
The base functionality for the different readers varies:
