How do I integrate the 3M
TM
RTE8000 HS into my business?
First decide which functions you require the scanner to perform and at which points in your processing. You
also need to consider the documents you need to be read, the data required from them and the security checks
to be preformed. Finally determine what data, including images, you will store.
The 3M
TM
Page Reader SDK Programmers’ Guide shows you many ways to use the SDK to integrate the
scanner into your application and development environment and generally this can be done with little
programming effort and minimal changes to the business process. The SDK gives you both high level functions
(you can have a sample program running in minutes) and yet provides very precise control of individual images
if required. The SDK supports most programming languages as well as other methods of integration such as
keyboard wedge and web page screen scraping.
The scanner has fixings to help with physical integration and the Integration Manual covers all electrical and
mechanical aspects. Our technical support team is on hand to help you with any questions that arise.
The SDK is regularly updated with enhancements and the latest software techniques especially for the
emerging ePassport standards.
Customisation
The 3M
