What will be an ideal response?


There are two basic types of fingerprint scanners. A static fingerprint scanner requires the user to place the entire thumb or finger on a small oval window on the scanner. The scanner takes an optical "picture" of the fingerprint and compares it with the fingerprint image on file. The other type of scanner is known as a dynamic fingerprint scanner. A dynamic fingerprint scanner has a small slit or opening.
