Duplex ID card scanner for front-desk capture

The Ambir DocketPort 687 DP687 scans both sides of a driver's licence, identity or insurance card in a single pass. Its 4.13" x 10.00" scan area accommodates standard card formats and embossed characters. CMOS CIS sensor technology delivers 600 dpi optical resolution for clear text and image capture. Designed for healthcare admissions, hospitality registration, point-of-sale and financial counter workflows.

USB 2.0 powered operation with no external supply

The scanner draws power directly from a USB 2.0 port and is hardware compatible with USB 1.1 at reduced speed. With no fan or moving cooling components, the device runs silently on the desktop. A 1.5 mm paper path and 1.40 mm maximum media thickness keep the mechanism compact at 7.50" x 2.00" x 1.60" and 0.54 lb. Windows 10, 8 and 7 drivers are supported for plug-in deployment.

3-second grayscale card capture at 300 dpi

Single-sided cards scan in approximately 3 seconds at 300 dpi grayscale, setting the pace for high-volume check-in queues. Duplex scanning doubles throughput without manual re-feeding. The fixed scan size and card-weight paper path mean the unit cannot handle full-page documents, photographs or media thicker than 1.40 mm. Buyers needing A4 or legal-page scanning should choose a flatbed or sheet-fed model instead.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DP687 and which step is commonly missed?

Connect the USB 2.0 cable to the host PC, install the Windows 10, 8 or 7 driver package before plugging it in, and set the scanner as the default TWAIN source in your application — skipping the driver install causes the device to appear as an unknown USB device.

What maintenance or replacement will the DP687 need later?

Clean the CMOS CIS glass strip and feed rollers periodically with a lint-free cloth and approved cleaner; the rollers will eventually wear and require replacement when card feeding becomes unreliable.

What limit appears first during sustained scanning of ID cards?

The 3-second-per-card cycle at 300 dpi grayscale sets the throughput ceiling; continuous batches are paced by this scan speed and the USB 1.1-compatible data rate.
