Same imaging. Two ways to deploy.
Both scanners capture IDs and passports with the same advanced imaging capabilities. Choose the GC2500e for a self-contained network appliance, or the GC2500u when a Windows workstation is already part of your workflow.

Document reading and authentication results require the corresponding APX-Verify licence.
Light-passthrough imaging
Both devices support light-passthrough imaging, which detects and validates micro laser perforation, with the corresponding APX-Verify licence.
IDSnap GC2500e
The GC2500e is an embedded, network-connected identity capture appliance. It is configured from a browser, discovered on the LAN, triggered from your own software, and it does not need a dedicated Windows PC at every scan station.
Input An ID-1 card or a passport book, presented to the scanner by a person at a counter, a kiosk or a branch desk.
Output For an ID card: duplex images of front and back, captured simultaneously with no need to flip it, under visible, UV, IR and light-passthrough illumination. For a passport: the photo data page, plus any RFID or chip data. The blank back cover is not captured. Delivered to the APX-Verify cloud service or to the customer's own backend.IDSnap GC2500u
The GC2500u shares its imaging engine with the GC2500e: simultaneous duplex card capture with no need to flip it, light-passthrough, multi-light security validation, template detection and chip reading. The difference is deployment: it connects via USB to a PC, or over the network, rather than running as the GC2500e's standalone embedded appliance.
Input An ID-1 card or a passport book, presented to the scanner at a workstation or a network-connected scan station.
Output For an ID card: duplex images of front and back, captured simultaneously with no need to flip it, under visible, UV, IR and light-passthrough illumination. For a passport: the photo data page only. Delivered over USB or the network.
