Compact ID Card Scanner for Front-Desk Workflows

The Ambir DS687-AS is a duplex A6 scanner built for reception desks, clinics and small offices that need to capture both sides of an ID card or driver's licence in a single pass. Its ultra-compact footprint fits on crowded counters and it draws power directly from the host computer's USB port so no external adapter is required.

600 dpi Resolution with Practical Limits

Scanning at 600 dpi produces sharp text and clear photos for digital records, yet the fixed A6 scan area means larger documents such as A4 pages or multi-page contracts cannot be accommodated. The device handles one card at a time, so high-volume batch jobs will run into throughput limits.

AmbirScan Software Adds PDF and Image Options

The bundled AmbirScan application lets you save scans directly to PDF, JPEG, GIF, BMP or TIFF and supports fixed file-location presets for consistent routing. No hardware accessories are included, so users relying on a specific cable length or mounting bracket must source those separately.

Questions about this item

Will the USB-powered DS687-AS work on an older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

The scanner draws power over USB and is designed for standard USB connections; it will operate on USB 2.0 ports, though scan transfer speeds will be limited by the older bus.

How can I verify the DS687-AS is actually scanning at its rated 600 dpi after I set it up?

Open a scan in AmbirScan or any image viewer and check the file properties; the metadata should show a horizontal and vertical resolution of 600 dpi.

Does the DS687-AS box include a USB cable, or do I need to buy one separately?

The scanner is USB powered and ships with the required USB cable in the box; no separate cable purchase is needed for basic operation.
