Passport OCR Document MRZ Barcode Scanner

This is a powerful barcode and OCR-B/MRZ reader: XT6201B.

This scanner excels in two ways:

1. It can read large-size, high-density PDF417 codes on ID cards or driver's licenses.

2. Can read the MRZ code of ID card and passport.

In many countries, they have a 3-line MRZ code printed on their ID card, and usually a 2-line MRZ code on their passports.

So if we can read those MRZ codes, we can get this personal information very quickly. This is useful in many places where an ID card or passport is required. For example, immigration control, airport boarding, hotel check-in and check-out, car rental, etc.

In many countries, ID cards and driver's licenses are printed with very large, high-density PDF417 codes. And PDF417 codes are hard to read, most barcode scanners can't read them. So we developed and produced XT6201B to help users solve this problem.
