After you have configured ID
Scanner, you can
create cardholders or visitors in Security
Desk by scanning their identification document.
What you should know
Scanner connection status is updated only when a new scanner is selected. Any
scanners connected after the scanning window is open are not detected. To show the new
scanners, close the scan window, and then reopen it.
Procedure
-
From the home page in Security
Desk, open the Cardholder management or the Visitor management task.
-
Do one of the following:
- To create a new cardholder or visitor, click Create new cardholder/visitor ().
- To modify an existing cardholder or visitor, select the entity, and then click Modify ().
-
In the cardholder or visitor configuration dialog box, click ID Scanner ().
The
ID Scanner window opens. If you have one
connected ID scanner, the message
Waiting for document
is
shown. If you have multiple scanners connected, a list of available scanners
appears at the top of the window.
-
Scan the cardholder or visitor's document.
With some card readers, you must scan both sides of the card separately.
When the scan is complete, the document fields are displayed.
Scanning an expired document triggers a warning.
-
To use the document as the cardholder or visitor picture, drag the document to the Picture field.
The Picture and Document fields
use the maximum picture size that is configured in Security Center. Optionally, you can crop the
cardholder or visitor's picture from the cardholder or visitor configuration
dialog box.

If necessary, rotate the document in the Picture or Document fields.
