The MFS501 is a high performance optical fingerprint scanner designed for 4-4-2 capture in finance, banking, national ID, and law enforcement applications. At just 91mm height, it is one of the slimmest optical four-finger scanners available, fitting easily on any service counter.
It utilizes advanced optical imaging technology to deliver 500 DPI ±1% resolution with less than 1% distortion, ensuring high-quality prints for accurate identification.
The MFS501 is fully certified for FBI FAP 60, meeting the rigorous image quality requirements for law enforcement and government applications. Its IP54 compliant design provides dust and water resistance for reliable operation in demanding environments.
To operate, simply follow the finger indications on the scanner panel. The software guides operators through the capture process with on-screen prompts and real-time image quality feedback. Automatic fingerprint segmentation, positioning, and latent print elimination ensure high-quality captures with minimal operator intervention.
