• In ePassport models, keep metallic surfaces away from the document tray and document
glass. These areas contain the RFID antenna, and RF reading can be disrupted by the
presence of metal in the RF field
• In ePassport models, the front fascia should be plastic or a non-metallic material
• In ePassport models, do not allow a metallic surface under and parallel to the document
tray
• Allow sufficient clearance above the document window for the user to hold the document
down on the document window
• The document window must be shielded as much as possible from direct lighting
(reference mechanical drawing DT-01823), and any surfaces directly above the document
window must be matte black. Failure to observe this may cause unreliable document
detection.
• The reader should be inclined 5° to 10° to prevent liquid from entering the kiosk and
discourage its use as a shelf.
