4X – THE BEST PENTA SCANNER EVER

A super-fast USB 3.0 connection speeds up your workflows by increasing the data transfer
rate to your application ten times. To enhance usability, the PENTA Scanner 4X can be
equipped with an additional document hold clip which allows for an improved document -
guidance and an easier operation. Furthermore, the PENTA Scanner 4X is USB-powered for
IR, VIS, UV and RFID reading – hence you can work completely independent from an
external power supply.

Of course, the PENTA Scanner 4X is by default equipped with proven DESKO OCR
technology to reliably capture all data from the machine-readable (MRZ) and visual zone.
Additional features are available, so you can set up your PENTA Scanner 4X according to
your individual needs: a UV light and a coaxial light source, for example, reveal hidden
security printings and features and enable a complete ID document authentication.

In addition to the classic desktop version, the PENTA Scanner 4X is also available as a built-
in device. It offers the full range of PENTA functions and can be easily integrated into self-
service solutions such as eGates, kiosks or counters.

Further options include a chip card reader as well as an RFID module to complete the
extensive functionality of the PENTA Scanner 4X.
