Los Angeles, CA (September 18, 2006) —Card Scanning Solutions (CSSN) continues to innovate tools and applications for processing ID cards as well as full-page forms and documents with the release of the Scanshell 3000 Duplex Scanner. The Scanshell 3000 is an A4 duplex scanner with the ability to simultaneously capture full images of both sides of ID cards, allowing the customer to easily extract printed data on the front of the card through CSSN’s powerful OCR software, while comparing the text data with the encoded 2D PDF417 barcode on the back, processed using CSSN’s barcode imaging library. In addition to comparing an ID’s text information with its barcode information, it is also possible to compare these two technologies with information encoded in a card’s magnetic stripe, RFID or Smart Card technology using suitable additional hardware available in the market. Whether the need is for a fast and reliable method for capturing text information from ID cards and populating this information into files or a database, or to compare card information and embedded technologies quickly to validate the authenticity of the cards, the Scanshell 3000 all-at-once scanning tool provides efficiency, speed and a higher level of record-keeping and verification.

The Scanshell 3000 can also scan and OCR full-page A4-sized documents, allowing for the use of CSSN’s SDK for OCR & imaging processing to create editable digital copies of invoices, contracts, receipts, DMV documents, or whatever forms the customer may need. Why keep paper copies of documents when all records can be digitized and easily distributed electronically?

The Scanshell 3000 Duplex Scanner is an effective and cost-efficient fit within visitor management, access control or CRM & PMS applications, providing a multifunctional utility within business or client administration, human resources departments, legal departments and for any establishment that utilizes or exchanges print information.
