Compact ID card scanner for crowded desks

The Ambir nScan 690gt DS690GT-AS is a dedicated card scanner built for environments where desk space is at a premium. It captures the front and back of an ID card in a single pass and ejects the card at the front so users never have to reach around the device. The included AmbirScan 6.1 software and TWAIN driver provide broad compatibility with existing Windows applications.

Consistent throughput for repeated scans

Each standard ID card is digitised in approximately one to two seconds at up to 600dpi optical resolution, delivering repeatable results during sustained check-in or registration sessions. The front-facing eject path keeps the workflow moving without pauses to retrieve cards from a rear slot. USB 2.0 connectivity supplies both data and power, so the unit maintains its pace without an external power supply.

Check software environment and card dimensions

Verify that the host system runs Windows 7, 8 or 10 to use the supplied driver and AmbirScan 6.1 package. Confirm that the cards to be scanned fit within the 4.1 by 10 inch maximum scan area. The scanner measures 6.60 by 3.40 by 5.00 inches and weighs 10.60 ounces, so ensure the intended surface can accommodate its footprint and a Kensington lock if physical security is required.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 2.0-powered nScan 690gt get noisy or hot when scanning cards back-to-back all day?

The scanner has no fan and no moving parts beyond the card feed, so it runs silently and stays cool even during continuous sessions.

What computer and software environment must I already have to run the included AmbirScan 6.1 and TWAIN driver?

You need a Windows 7, 8 or 10 PC with a free USB 2.0 port; the TWAIN driver then works with most imaging applications.

Will the front-facing eject and 4.1-inch max width handle the same ID cards my older flatbed scanner processes?

Yes — any standard card up to 4.1" x 10" feeds straight through and exits at the front, so existing card stock works without change.
