Thales Gemalto Document Reader AT9000 MK2

• Optional support for biometrically enabled travel documents and
driving licenses containing contactless integrated circuit chips (eIDs,
eDLs and ePassports)
• OCR data capture and/or document authentication using additional
software packages
• Accurate, true-color images, with anti-glare technology to reduce
document laminate reflections and ambient light interference
therefore improving image quality
• Removable hood for easy document and mobile device placement
and stapled books, especially when using gloves
• Reads 1D and 2D barcodes from paper and mobile devices
• AT9000 MK2 automatically detects when a document is placed
and initiates optical reading, MRZ decoding, barcode reading and
reads the contactless chip if present

• Uses the same API interface as other Thales document readers using
Gemalto Document Reader SDK
• Flexible software interface allows host application to select which
illumination sources to use, image type, image compression, photo
extraction, reflection or ambient light elimination, color enhancement,
which data groups to read, etc.
• Configuration via file or api, can be configured in field and saved
• Simple high level API for quick program development or detailed
low level API for fine control of all reader functions. SDK provides
full configuration API
• Contactless IC reading for ePassports (LDS 1.7 & 1.8) including
basic access control (BAC), passive/active authentication (PA/AA),
Chip Authentication (CA), Terminal Authentication (TA), extended
access control (EAC v1/v2), supplementary access control (SAC)
and PACE-CAM are supported. The SDK provides writing capability
using APDUs
• Contactless IC reading for eDL & iDL (electronic driving licenses)
up to DG14 including basic access control (BAP v1), Password
Authenticated Connection Establishment (PACE), passive/active
authentication (PA/AA), Chip Authentication (CA), Terminal
Authentication (TA), supplementary access control (SAC) and
extended access control (EAC v1) are supported
• ICAO 9303 checksum, IR ink and UV dull validation
• Full SDK including DLLs, code examples, utilities and demonstration
programs. Can be used with Visual C++®, Java® and Microsoft®
.NET Framework for Visual Basic® .NET and Visual C#®

The Gemalto Document Reader AT9000 MK2 reads the following
documents:
• ICAO compliant documents in near infrared (IR) per ICAO 9303
specification
• One line Driving Licenses in near infrared (IR) per ISO18013 part 2
specification
• 1D barcodes (2 of 5 interleaved, 2 of 5 industrial, Code 128, Code
39, UPC-A, EAN-8 and EAN-13)
• 2D barcodes used on BCBP and other documents (PDF 417, QR
Code®, DataMatrix™ and Aztec formats) from paper documents
and many mobile devices

• Supports ISO 7816 Class A and AB smart card
• T=0, T=1 protocol support, EMV2000 Level 1
• Communication speed up to 420 kbps (PPS, FI parameter)
• Frequency up to 8 MHz (PPS, DI parameter)
• 8 contacts – ISO location
• Sliding contact

• Magnetic swipe add-on module available

Reads from and writes to contactless chips and eID according to:
• ISO 14443 13.56MHz Type-A and Type-B using a PC/SC interface
• ePassport support for ICAO 9303 LDS 1.7 & 1.8 and PKI using
included SDK
• Dual antennas capable of reading shielded passports
• iDL & eDL reading and access control for driving licenses to ISO
18013 parts 2&3 and ISO/CEI TR 19446 using included SDK
• All standardized rates, up to 848 Kbps, read-out times depend on
RFID tag, operating system and amount of data stored in the chip
• PC/SC interface provides support to other card types such as
Mifare™ (drivers for all supported OS)
• SDK certified to BSI TR-03105 Parts 5.1 and 5.2
• RFID reader optionally certified to BSI TR-03105 Part 4

Additional software can authenticate an identity document using optical
pattern matching to:
• Identify documents based on the type and country of origin
• Match security features captured from a document against a
database of trusted security features including UV, IR, Visible and
Gemalto Confirm™ laminate patterns
• Check for presence of UV dull paper
• Verify that areas are blank, devoid of patterns, text or printed matter
• Check photo in chip against photo on data page

• Check photo in chip against photo on data page
• Positional quality assurance (QA) – assures document is printed to
applicable ISO, ICAO or customer standards
• Measures skew, left margin, line spacing, character spacing, line
length, print contrast, stroke width and distance from each character
to the bottom of the document

Additional software can decode the OCR text in the visible zone (HRZ)
from identity documents as well as many driving licenses:
• Automate data entry, no more manual typing or photocopying
• Form filling, including into web pages
• Can auto fill forms
• Increased accuracy for data entry
• Global coverage for documents
