Purpose-built ID card scanner

The Ambir DS687-PRO is a compact duplex card scanner designed for front-desk staff who need to capture both sides of an identification card in a single pass. It connects through a standard USB 2.0 interface and draws power from the host, so no external adapter is required. The lightweight chassis fits on a crowded counter without rearranging the workspace.

600 dpi optical resolution

A 600 dpi CMOS CIS sensor reproduces fine text, microprint and security holograms clearly enough for verification and archiving. Duplex scanning completes a two-sided capture in roughly 4.5 seconds, keeping queues short during peak check-in periods. The 48-bit colour and 8-bit grayscale depth preserve the visual fidelity needed for compliance records.

Ambir Scan Pro software included

The bundled Ambir Scan Pro application adds automatic crop, deskew and image-enhancement tools that turn raw scans into clean, uniform files without manual editing. Drivers and the software installer are supplied on a CD that supports Windows 2000 through Windows 8 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. RoHS and WEEE certifications confirm the unit meets current environmental substance restrictions.
