System Requirements

Minimum System Requirements to operate PrintScan's Enrollment Software

---

Operating Systems

Windows 8.1 is the baseline, with Windows 10 or 11 strongly recommended for the best experience with PrintScan software.

Important: Ensure usage of Windows OS paired with either an Intel or AMD processor. Devices such as MACS, CHROMEBOOKS, and Windows with ARM PROCESSORS are incompatible with PrintScan's enrollment software.

If operating under Windows S Mode, consult the official exit guide.

Processor

A quad-core processor at 2.2Ghz or higher to ensure smooth software operations.

Display Resolution

1920x1080 or above for optimal clarity with PrintScan's software interface.

RAM (Memory)

A minimum of 8GB, 16GB being the recommended amount that ensures seamless multitasking and efficient software performance.

Storage

While installation takes up 250MB, a storage capacity of 256GB or higher combined with an SSD Hard Drive is ideal for speed and efficiency.

USB Ports

Ensure at least 2 USB ports, with a preference for 3. Using a USB hub is an option but not recommended as some fingerprint scanners have problems communicating over a hub.

Keep in mind: All PrintScan hardware, spanning from fingerprint scanners, signature pads, to webcams, relies on USB connections.

Fingerprint Scanner

Compatible models include the Integrated Biometrics Kojak and the Suprema RealScan-G10, both ensuring precision and reliability.

Signature Pad

The Signotec Signature Pad is our recommended choice for capturing accurate and clear signatures.

Optional Barcode Scanner

The USB Keyboard Wedge is compatible and effective for those looking to enhance their data capture capabilities.
