  • HID ADR300 ATOM Travel Document Imager and Reader
Overview | Specifications

The ATOM Document Reader (ADR300) is a state-of-the-art, multi-illumination, electronic machine-readable travel document (eMRTD) reader. Designed from the outset to deliver high performance, ATOM blends an aesthetically pleasing design with maximum flexibility to make it the ideal choice for almost any application.

Its innovative design enables the capture of multiple high-resolution, uncompressed images (visible, IR and UV). In comparison to existing scanners, the transaction time on this travel document imager and reader is significantly reduced, delivering productivity and cost savings.

ATOM’s design sets it apart from other identity document readers and allows for both desktop use and simple, elegant integration into countertops and kiosks. Its innovative ‘shark fin’ document guides ensure that even the most widely traveled documents quickly slide onto the glass, easing down bent corners for a perfect read.

ATOM delivers lightning-fast MRZ decoding, while simultaneously reading RFID data from eDocuments, including those meeting the latest ICAO LDS standards. Additionally, high performance 1D/2D barcode reading ensures that the ATOM delivers a rich feature set.

The ATOM travel document reader can be supplied with its innovative expansion dock to provide either contact smart card reading, magnetic stripe reading or both. The elegant drop-in design means that the unit can be supplied already connected or retrofitted in the field in just a few seconds.
