1. Introduction
The Gemalto Document Reader AT10K is the result of over 20 years’ experience in designing travel
document readers for the most demanding customers and environments. With its compact size yet high
quality optics it can image travel documents using three light sources and has a Radio Frequency
IDentification (RFID) interface for reading eDocuments in one action. The AT10K can automatically
capture the machine readable zone (MRZ) data, images and chip data from a variety of personal
identification documents, including ePassports, passports, visa and other travel documents as well as
decoding barcodes from documents such as boarding passes.
The reader’s small footprint and its ability to image challenging documents in brightly lit conditions with
minimal CPU loading on the host PC makes it ideal for use by immigration control, airlines, banks, hotels,
and casinos. The readers have no motorized moving parts to ensure maximum reliability.
The design of the AT10K is based on detailed and exhaustive analysis of field experience and numerous
deployed projects. With a new “landing lights” LED feedback arrangement and document hold down clip it
naturally encourages the correct placement and use of the reader, regardless if the user is left or right
handed, maximising first time read rate for faster customer processing.
Gemalto has created a new stylish look that will fit into the décor of the most upmarket customer facing
service desks.
