FS90 USB2.0 Mini Fingerprint Scanner uses specially designed optical system to deliver high quality image in a very small form factor. It is 57(L) x 29(W) x 27(H)mm and just slightly larger than one half of Futronic FS80 USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner but can capture a fingerprint image with quality as good as FS80. It can scan an almost un-distorted raw fingerprint image into PC in 100ms and is good for any fingerprint recognition application.

FS90 is perfect device for mobile application. It is small and with a 0.3 meter USB cable which is more convenient to be carried around by notebook PC users and used together with PDA or mobile phone.

The finger scanning window is a crown glass with a thickness of 13mm. It is much more reliable and robust compared to any semiconductor type fingerprint sensor.

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

FS90 can be used together with all Futronic standard software products, FinLogon Personal Edition (PE), Finlogon Enterprise Edition (EE), SDK and FAS.

Futronic provides USB drivers and API for FS90 to capture a raw fingerprint image on the following platforms:

• Windows XP/2003, 32 bit and 64 bit.

FS90 module

FS90 module is available for customers who want to integrate FS90 into their own products, such as handheld POS machine, mobile voter registration station, etc.

FS90 module is same as FS90 but without plastic shell and USB cable so that it can be embedded into any target system. FS90 module is even smaller and lighter:

• Size, 43(L) x 24(W) x 25(H)mm
• Weight, 60 gram
