Compact USB 2.0 fingerprint reader for desktop users
The Corn Electronics 4500 88003-001 is a USB peripheral that uses optical fingerprint scanning technology at 512 dpi pixel resolution. It suits individual desktop users and shared environments where multiple people need quick biometric verification. The small form factor conserves desk space while the metal casing resists unintentional movement during scans.
Silicone coating and blue LED improve capture
A silicone coating on the scanning window allows accurate reads across a wide range of fingerprints regardless of placement angle. The blue LED and automatic red flash provide visual feedback when a fingerprint image is successfully captured and encrypted before transmission to the DigitalPersona FingerJet biometric engine for verification.
Handles single-finger verification on USB 1.0 1.1
The reader delivers 8-bit grayscale scan data over a USB 2.0 interface that remains compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1 hosts. It is designed for use with Crossmatch authentication solutions and U.are.U Software Development Kits. Buyers needing multi-factor hardware tokens or contactless smart-card support should consider other device classes.

Questions about this item
Will the optical scanning window on the 4500 reader need cleaning or replacement over time?
The silicone coating on the scanning window is designed to read a wide range of fingerprints accurately regardless of placement angle and resists wear during normal desktop use.
What limits continuous operation of the USB 2.0 fingerprint reader during all-day use?
The reader captures and encrypts each fingerprint image before sending it to the DigitalPersona FingerJet biometric engine, so verification speed depends on the host software performance.
How much heat or noise does the 88003-001 produce when running all day at a workstation?
The compact metal casing houses only the optical sensor and a blue LED indicator that flashes red on successful capture, so it generates negligible heat and no audible noise.
