Front and back of an ID card, in one pass.
The IDSnap 850DX captures both sides of an ID card or driving licence and reads supported document data in a single action. It is built for busy desks and embedded workflows where speed, consistency and a compact footprint matter.
| Input | An ID-1 card. |
|---|---|
| Output | RGB or grayscale images of both sides, captured in one pass, plus supported OCR and barcode data through the software integration. |

Two sides captured together
The IDSnap 850DX uses upper and lower contact-image sensors to capture the front and back of an ID-1 card in a single pass. Operators do not need to scan, flip and rescan the credential, helping each transaction move faster while producing a consistent pair of images.
Fast duplex scanning
Front-and-back imaging and supported ID reading complete in under three seconds, with image scanning operating below 85 mm per second.
Less document handling
One presentation captures the portrait side and the reverse side, including the PDF417 barcode used on many North American driving licences.
Compact deployment
At 14 × 8.5 × 4.5 cm, the scanner fits busy staffed counters and can also be incorporated into self-service terminals.
Operational safeguards
Manual and power-failure card ejection help staff recover a credential if a transaction, workstation or power source is interrupted.
Built for high-throughput identity workflows
The 850DX combines a short operator action with a repeatable software-controlled result. That makes it well suited to desks and kiosks where staff need to process many cards without adding a separate front-and-back capture step.
- 01
Present the card once
The operator inserts one ID-1 credential; upper and lower sensors capture both sides as it passes through the scanner.
- 02
Read images and supported data
With the appropriate software, the workflow can read supported machine-readable zones and decode PDF417, QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, MaxiCode and common 1D barcodes.
- 03
Return the result to the host application
The application receives the paired card images and available structured data for registration, onboarding, access control or another business process.
By reducing flips, rescans and manual transcription, the 850DX helps create a faster and more consistent experience at busy identity-capture points.
