It is FBI Certified as compliant with FIPS 201 (PIV) and Mobile ID FAP 10 standards, meeting FBI Next Generation Identification (NGI) Image Quality Specifications (IQS). The device uses a contact optical sensor (U10) with a 500 DPI image resolution, capturing 252x330 pixel images at 256 gray scale levels. Its sensing area measures 12.8mm x 16.8mm on a 15.2mm x 20.2mm platen. The reader connects via USB and is designed to be water- and dust-resistant, while the optical sensor is resistant to scratches, impact, vibration, and electrostatic shock.
