Ambir Technology, Inc., a manufacturer of scanners, signature pads and digital imaging software solutions, announces the general availability of its DS685 duplex ID card scanner.

The DS685 duplex ID card scanner features a 1.5mm wide paper path, enabling scanning of thick materials such as laminated ID cards and plastic cards with embossed characters and making it an efficient solution for healthcare facility admissions, hospitality registration, point of sale environments, financial institutions and other situations where customers or clients need to provide identity data.
Elmhurst, Ill. (PRWEB) July 17, 2007
Ambir Technology, Inc., www. ambir. com, a manufacturer of scanners, signature pads and digital imaging software solutions, today announces the general availability of its DS685 duplex ID card scanner. Previously, the only option available to customers requiring duplex ID card scanning capability was a larger and more costly duplex card and document scanner. Because of its diminutive size, robust duplex functionality and competitive price point, the DS685 is a first of its kind in the duplex scanner product category.
The DS685 duplex ID card scanner (http://www. ambir. com/product. asp? item=DS685-SS) features a 1.5mm wide paper path, enabling scanning of thick materials such as laminated ID cards and plastic cards with embossed characters and making it an efficient solution for healthcare facility admissions, hospitality registration, point of sale environments, financial institutions and other situations where customers or clients need to provide identity data.
"The DS685 duplex id card scanner is ideal for environments where the need is 100% for card-size scanning, such as medical office and hospital admissions areas," said Al Ingallinera, Ambir Technology vice president, sales and marketing. "Organizations such as these that simply need to scan driver's licenses and insurance cards or other IDs no longer need to purchase scanners capable of larger size documents, delivering a nice savings in cost and workspace."
As with all Ambir Technology scanners, the new DS685 duplex ID card scanner is TWAIN 1.9 compliant. This means that any application program designed to work with TWAIN will work with this scanner, including many specialized applications within the healthcare and banking industries.
