ITERIOS Scanner reads all MRZ parts on Passports (2 lines) and ID cards (3 lines) following the ICAO 9303 Specifications and the T1 ID Definition. The configuration supports OCR-B characters from ISO 1072-2 for use in machine readable travel documents. As machine readable zones store specific information, ITERIOS Scanner automatically extracts all data points and returns those, instead of simply digitizing the MRZ. ITERIOS Scanner is a part of ITERIOS Travel Agent - a CRM which is tailor made for travel agencies and answers specific requirements of a travel company.
