Introduction

The purpose of this document is to describe a procedure to ensure that a scanner can capture a latent print image at an achievable resolution that enables recording of Level 3 detail.

Limitations

This procedure is designed to test the ability of a scanner in reflected light mode to capture the necessary level of detail when viewed on a monitor. This procedure does not address capture by a scanner in transmitted light mode. This procedure also does not address the output of image data to printed media.
