According to Access-IS the new products maintain all of the functionally and compatibility you'd expect with first and second generation eDocuments.Access-IS says the OCR601-Mk2 sees minor changes to support this new document standard while the OCR640e sees a major overhaul from its predecessor providing a significant speed and performance improvements.The new OCR601-SC is a 4-in-1 device offering MRZ, RFID, two smart card slots and two Secure Access Management (SAM) modules. An integrated USB hub featuring two powered USB ports has been added for further flexibility.
