Who better to depend on for a PDF417 card reader than the company
that invented the PDF417 symbology? Symbol Technologies' PDF 620
Card Reader is designed for accurate first-time reading of PDF417
symbols for a variety of identification card applications
including national identification and benefit cards (for state,
provincial and federal government), drivers' licenses, health benefits
and services, retail loyalty, and access control cards. And, the
PDF 620's intuitive operation means it's so easy to use that no
special training is required.
PDF417: Symbol of a Revolution
PDF417 is the revolutionary 2-dimensional Portable Data File technology
that encodes more than a kilobyte of data 100 times the capacity
of one-dimensional bar codes of the same size. PDF417 functions
as a very low-cost memory and data transmission medium. PDF417-based
ID systems are secure, tamper-resistant and reliable; and they alleviate
the need for on-line systems for verification and data access. Additional
capabilities include:
- High data capacity and density with robust error correction
- Compatibility with existing card printing technologies, such
as thermal, thermal transfer, laser and laser engraving
- Ability to encode text, data, graphics, photos, fingerprints
and signatures in standard or encrypted formats
And, PDF417 ID cards are extremely inexpensive to produce on materials
such as paper stock, PVC, polyester, and more.
Low in Cost, High in Performance
To put your PDF417 identification system to work, there's no product
like the PDF 620 Card Reader. It's economical, durable and features
a small footprint, but it's big on performance:
- Supports both PDF417 symbols, as well as one-dimensional bar
codes
- Typical first-time read rate of 100%, even including high-capacity
PDF417 symbols
- Reads laminated cards
The PDF 620's universal RS-232 output means it's quick and easy
to integrate into existing identification card systems. And additional
host interfaces are available via the use of a Synapse "smart cable."
The PDF 620's card slot accepts ISO standard sized cards. Simply
place your PDF ID card in the slot, push down and release. The PDF
620 automatically controls the scanning of the card for you, providing
fast, easy and accurate reading.
Count up the benefits, and you'll agree that PDF417 technology
makes sense for your ID card application. And remember, only the
PDF 620 Card Reader is from Symbol Technologies, the world leader
in bar code-driven data management systems, with more than 4 million
scanners and terminals installed.
