What is Livescan?

Livescan refers to the use of a computer-based device, which reads the fingerprint patterns of a subject directly from the subject's fingers. Therefore, the prints are collected into an electronic medium from a live person's fingers rather than being read from an inked rolled print card. That fingerprint file, along with the demographic information about that subject, can then be electronically transmitted to a central database for processing.
