7.1 Usage of the OCR / MSR Reader
As soon as the NEPTUN chrom is connected to a PC, the device is ready to read OCR
and MSR data from various documents. The NEPTUN chrom provides the OCR and MSR
scan functionality in only one slot.
To read a document, the medium (e.g. credit card) should be pulled through the swipe
slot with moderate and constant speed. It is possible to swipe in both directions.
7.1.1 Reading an OCR Document
The implemented OCR scanner supports a bidirectional swipe. To read an OCR
document, the medium (e.g. passport) should be pulled through the swipe slot with
moderate and constant speed.
Please note that the OCR information always has to face towards you in order to be
read.
