Thales elected to end production of the QS1000 upon acquisition of Gemalto. Thales was developing a newer more advanced offering, the Thales QS2000 ID & passport scanner, a highly reliable full page document reader with a new smaller more contemporary designed outer housing.
I have a wpf application with a feature to read passports and driver's licenses using a gemalto QS1000 and the 3M SDK. The SDK and drivers are installed on my dev machine (C:\Program Files (x86)\3M\3M Page Reader\3.3.3.10\bin...). According to the documentation, during development I should change the debug working directory to that location. Everything works great!
The Gemalto (former 3M) QS1000 is a full-page passport scanner and 2D barcode reader. The QS1000 can read any passport, capture an image of any document, and scan a 2D barcode found on US, Canadian, and some other IDs, including European National ID cards.
