The finger scanning window is a crown glass with a thickness of14mm. It is much more reliable and robust compared to any semiconductortype fingerprint sensor.

The finger is illuminated by 4 infra-red LEDs during scanning andthe light intensity is automatically adjusted according to scanningfingerprint's characteristics (wet, dry, blurred, etc) to optimize thequality of the captured fingerprint image.

Special electronic circuit is built into FS80H to do Live Finger Detection (LFD). With appropriate software in PC, user can select this LFD feature so that only live finger's fingerprint will be scanned into PC. Fake fingers made from silicone rubber, play-doh, etc, will be rejected. And the LFD feature is included in all Futronic's standard software.

The Futronic FS80H USB 2.0 Reader is compatible with many differentsoftwaredevelopment kits and applications. Below is the list of productsthat are currently known to support this scanner. Please notethat some applications and development kits require specific versionsof the drivers to be installed. Please contact us if you needadditional information.
