Disabling IDSentry Service

Enhanced ID Detection Service From IDSentry

TokenWorks ID Scanners now feature Enhanced ID Detection Service (EIDS) provided by our supplier, IDSentry. EIDS is a new subscription service that will help detect fake IDS. EIDS will identify many fake id formats, but not all.

When enabled and a US Driver’s license is scanned, the EIDS shield on the main screen will indicate red, green, or yellow depending on the detection status. Green indicates a recognized valid IDformat, red indicates a known fake ID format, and yellow indicates a new, unrecognized, or under review ID format.

For data security reasons, we understand that EIDS may not be allowed under certain circumstances and the service can easily be disabled if desired. The following guide goes through how to disable the service.
