DESKO ICON Scanner

The DESKO ICON scanner is a compact, high-performance ID and document scanner, ideal for applications where speed, reliability, and space-saving integration are crucial. It utilizes innovative OCR technology to quickly and accurately read machine-readable zones (MRZ) and visual data from ID cards, passports, driver’s licenses, or residence permits. With a resolution of up to 400 dpi, it produces crisp images that remain clearly legible even on laminated or holographically printed documents thanks to its anti-reflective scanning technology. Dual light sources—visible light and infrared—enable reliable recognition even under challenging document surfaces, and the scanner automatically detects the document format (ID 1, ID 2, ID 3).

The scanning process is triggered automatically as soon as a document is detected, and motion detection prevents blurry images caused by shaking documents. After scanning, the data is transferred directly to the connected system via USB, enabling easy integration into self-service terminals, counter solutions, or kiosks. The modern, slim design makes the ICON scanner one of the most compact full-page scanner solutions on the market.

Especially in scenarios like hotel check-in, age verification, car rental, or the capture of customer or client data, the ICON Scanner impresses with its efficiency and accuracy. Combined with software such as DESKO’s ID Analyze, the extracted data can be automatically processed, for example, in booking or contract forms, thus preventing manual input errors. Thanks to its “Made in Germany” quality, the ICON Scanner stands for high reliability and durability – ideal for companies seeking a streamlined and powerful solution for digital identity verification.
