Scanner targets false driver's licenses, passports, military ID cards By Lisa R. Rhodes, Staff Writer, Posted 10/14/10 Earlier this month, security guards at all of the installation's gates began using a scanner to catch false, stolen or terminated forms of identification from people seeking access to Fort Meade, Maryland. ID Card Section/DEERS Phone 720-847-4357. Buckley AFB Website Buckley AFB Website. RAPIDS Appointment Online RAPIDS Appointment Online. Mon 0800 - 1530. The ID Section at Buckley AFB can assist you with ID, Official Passports (for military personnel deploying/relocating to locations that require a passport), CAC and DEERS.
For this project, you will need the following items:
ID/whatever card - Get out your old Joe Schmoe, INC. identification card, library card, or whatever it is you feel you need to have an upgraded duplicate of.
Photoshop - or any other equivalent software - however, I'm gonna be using photoshop so it will be easier to follow along if you are using it as well.
Scanner - Good quality if possible
Printer - Also good quality
Laminator - more detail on which type when I get to it
Teslin paper - available from several websites. I recommend www.poisonid.com as it is the only site I could find selling the 4 x 6 perforated sheets I use here. They run from $4 US for a single ID to $33 for a pack of 20. IMO, go for the big pack because in all likelihood you will screw up a couple of times in the process of making this. Make sure you get the kind for your printer, whether inkjet or laser. Artisyn paper supposedly is just is good or better, but I've never tried it.
Butterfly laminate pouches - Again, many websites to choose from. If you buy from PoisonID, they come with the teslin paper. However, if you want your card to be magnetic stripe-scannable, then you will need to buy from a site selling 10 mil pouches (PoisonID's are 7 mil - close, but probably won't work with a magnetic strip encoder). They will also need a magnetic strip on the back - try here
Ruler
Scalpel or scissors or both
Sand paper
Optional:
Hologram overlays - available from PoisonID as well as many other sites. Gives it some extra pizazz. However they are stick-on so they're a royal pain in the ass to apply without mucking up.
Magnetic stripe encoder - Pretty expensive normally. I would look for one on ebay to try and score it for under $150. Good luck.
Curling iron/regular iron/hair straightener - if the ID you are trying to copy has a hologram on it, use one of these to get rid of it.
To setup the item, I used a wireless laptop with a usb connected for preliminary setup. The software found the unit, found the wireless SSID name, and applied my settings to the device. From my Windows 7 desktop and Windows 8 laptops it found the device rather easily as well (once it was connected to the wireless network). For example (Windows 7) You just go to 'Start' ->'control panel' -> 'View devices and printers' -> 'add a device' -> 'find the ADS-1000W' and add it. Then use the software in the package or your own favorite software to scan and create PDF's, JPGs etc.
Speed: When scanning black and white images over the wireless the sheets feed through super quick and it gets transmitted to the computer or usb stick(not provided) very quick too... Business speed ready in my opinion. ... full review
