1.4 Conguration and operation
1.4.1 Principle of operation
The operating principle of the reader is based
on transformation of document images obtained
in special illumination conditions into digital data.
The obtained data is transferred into the PC for
further processing (transformation, recognition, etc.)
and making a decision about document authenticity
with the help of special software algorithms and
databases supplied in the delivery set.
1.4.2 Device design
The reader (see Figures 1 and 2) is produced
in a plastic body and consists of the following
components.
In the upper part of the reader (see Figure 1):
1 — device body;
2 — object glass of the reader;
3 — reader state indicator;
On the side panels (see Figures 1):
4 — USB mini B port for connecting the reader
to the PC;
5 — antenna element.
On the bottom panel of the device body
(see Figure 2):
6 — device marking;
7 — elements for xing the device to the working
surface (if available) (see Figure 3).

1.4.3 The reader state indicator 3has two
operating modes:
– standby mode;
– reading mode.
After the reader is connected to the PC,
the indicator 3 should light up yellow or orange
Figure 3

16
(provided that the reader driver is already installed,
see paragraphs 2.2.3.1 and 2.2.4). If the driver has
not been installed, the indicator will light up red.
After initialization of the device and SDK libraries is
complete (see paragraph 2.2.5), the reader switches
to the standby mode and the indicator 3 turns green.
When the examined document is placed on
the reader object glass 2, the device switches to
the reading mode. In the reading mode the device
captures document images under specied illumination
conditions and transfers the obtained data to the PC.
Further data processing is performed by software
components of DR SDK and depends on the functions
specied by the User’s application (see Programmer’s
Guide to DR SDK, section 6). When the document
processing is complete, the obtained results will appear
in the application window. The examined document
can be removed from the object glass and replaced by
another document.
Reading data from the inserted document can
also be initiated via the User’s application.
1.5 Marking and sealing
1.5.1 Marking of the reader meets the requirements
of IEC 60950–1. It is located on the bottom panel of
the reader (see Figure 2) and contains the following
