Characteristics of documents
General properties of Machine Readable Travel Documents are standardized in
ICAO Doc 9303. This includes the structure, font, and location of the Machine
Readable Zone (MRZ), MRZ check digits, and some UV properties of the
document paper to be used in the document. Using the D SCAN Master software,
these features are always checked, and images in all available illuminations are
always captured depending on the installed hardware options.
The default document recognition and checking software (D SCAN Master) works
with ICAO 9303 compliant documents of ID1, ID2, and ID3 format. A machine
readable zone (MRZ) exactly as specified in Doc 9303, especially considering the
OCR-B font, is required.
Additionally, documents, which are not compliant with ICAO specifications, can
be detected and can be taught to the system on request.
