High-resolution scans, accurate data and flexible data processing

The first-class scanning technology developed by DESKO, user-friendly operation and high quality “Made in Germany” make the ICON Scanner the top choice for efficient data and image capture. The full-page scanner reads data from all IDs and passports and produces high-resolution images. DESKO scanning technology with anti-reflective effect prevents light spots or reflections that could be caused by lamination or holographic print. The scanner detects the format of the ID, collects the personal data and photograph and automatically cuts the scans to size. Using a USB connection, it transfers the data that is read out to your application. You can then easily process this data there.

Since the reader is compatible with our software DESKO ID Analyze and can also be connected with your system, data processing is especially easy. For example, you can transfer the data that is read out to reservation forms, contracts, customer files or registrations.

There is also the option of saving the digital scans and deleting them within a specified period as necessary.
