Drivers License Scanner
Driver's License Scanners/Readers for Electronic Ticketing
What is a drivers license scanner?
A drivers license scanner is used for e-citation and incident reporting to electronically capture the information on the front of a driver’s license.
Driver’s licenses each come with a unique PDF417 barcode on the back which is approved by the AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators). All of the motorist’s personal information that is found on the front the license is neatly stored within this barcode.
Instead of manually hand-writing or typing in this information, Officers can instantly scan the barcode with the 4910LR Drivers License Scanner and the information will automatically populate into the traffic citation or incident report being filled out on your in-car computer.
The 4910LR DL reader is purpose built from the voice of law enforcement, created directly by collaborating with state and local Law Enforcement agencies.

The Benefits of Electronic Driver's License Data Capture
Officer Safety
Filling out manual citations requires time and attention. Keep your eyes on your environment and complete reports and citations in a fraction of the time. Maintain situational awareness, get off the roadside quickly and get back to patrolling your community.

Fast & Error Free
An electronic citation takes 3-5 minutes to complete, whereas handwritten citations can take upwards of 15-20 minutes. In addition to the huge time savings, eCitations eliminate human error and potentially reduce the volume of tickets being dismissed in your courthouse.

Purpose Built From Your Voice
The 4910LR is not a traditional grocery store, gun-style barcode scanner. This Driver's License reader was developed with input from officers for one purpose: patrol vehicle scanning. The size, shape and weight resemble an officer's familiar radio-mic. Storage is easy with L-Tron's Mag Mount add-on accessory.
Efficient & Performant
With a red LED aiming light, the omni-directional 4910LR reads barcodes in any direction and in any lighting conditions. Scan driver's licenses on the first try - even in bright sunlight or on night patrol. Grey-scale imaging means you can capture signatures, sketches and license photos to easily attach them to your reports.

4910LR Drivers License Scanner:
Built directly from the voices of Patrol Officers and State Troopers
The 4910LR is a purpose-built drivers license scanner for ecitation, crash and incident reporting. The 4910LR is the only eCitation scanner built for Law Enforcement, directly from the voice of patrol officers and state troopers.
After a casual conversation with a state police agency, it was uncovered that law enforcement had many pain points with their current ecitation barcode scanner. Utilizing our knowledge and ability in AIDC technology (Auto Identification and Data Capture – a fancy term for data collection technology) and our internal engineering capabilities, we jumped at the opportunity to build a new ecitation barcode scanner by collaborating with Law Enforcement. Over the years of collaboration and feedback, three generations of the 4910LR were created: the 4710LR, the 4810LR and the 4910LR. Each generation of the driver’s license barcode scanner was updated from your voice – and were improved to meet an Officer’s unique needs.
We are proud to work with and for Law Enforcement – bringing your ideas to reality.
2018 4910LR Magnetic Mount
In 2018 the Magnetic Mount for the 4910LR was launched, again created from Law Enforcement feedback.
We heard from many Officers that they were not using the mic-style clip as much as they wanted to and often times didn’t clip their 4910LR in place at all.
We went to work and created a magnetic mount. All you need to do is get the scanner near the magnetic mount, and the scanner grabs the magnet and is held firmly in place.
2013 - 4910LR
During the lifespan of the 4810LR, the L-Tron team was documenting all feedback from Officers using the 4710 and 4810 driver’s license scanners – recommendations for improvement, wish lists, new features they wanted to see, etc. Again, working alongside local & state agencies, L-Tron engineers went to the drawing board (the first concept drawing of the 4910LR was on a napkin!) Evaluation units were sent out for agencies to test and we continued to gather feedback. The end result was the 4910LR – an ergonomic, heavier, microphone-style driver’s license reader with many enhanced scanning and imaging features. The Black Beauty was born.
2008 - 4810LR
Our engineers went back to work to create a new DL Reader for the patrol car when the 4710LR hardware was nearing end of life. This required a redesign and focused on form, fit and function. A smaller and lighter form factor was selected, and the new 4810 resembled the familiar radio microphone found in patrol cars. More robust mounting was added, as well as a coiled USB cable and custom firmware. This second gen model was not a product designed for a retail counter or a factory floor, it was again built from the voice of Law Enforcement.
2003/2004 - 4710LR
The 4710LR was designed and built from the voice of Law Enforcement. This DL reader was the first electronic ticketing scanner designed and built for law enforcement. We worked alongside several agencies throughout the whole process. What made the 4710LR unique were features incorporated directly from agency feedback:
• It didn’t have a handle (like your librarian or grocery store scanner).
• Officers could now easily & safely mount and store this scanner.
• Ended the need of an added power brick (your vehicles are crowded enough).
• Added functionality of grayscale image capture to easily attach images to incident reports.

L-Tron Magnetic mount for the 4910LR DL Reader
PN: 4910LR-MM
2018: Officers and police agencies were telling us that they usually didn’t like the standard mic clip for the 4910LR. Listening to feedback and Officer pain points, our team went to work and developed the easy-to-use magnetic mount designed for the 4910LR.
The magnetic mount was built with a self centering design making it quick and easy to place the 4910LR to the mount. As soon as the scanner mag mount is close, the magnet engages the 4910 scanner, holding it securely in place. Its just as easy and quick to release the 4910LR for use.
The 4910LR magnetic mount uses an N52 grade Neodymium magnet. It is a high grade, small magnet with a lot of power. It has rare earth properties to withstand rugged environments like your patrol car.
