USB 2.0 fingerprint reader

The HID 50013-001-104 is a compact optical fingerprint scanner that connects through a USB 2.0 port. It is built for identity-verification workflows that need reliable biometric capture on Windows, Linux or Android platforms.

Small platen and 512 ppi resolution

The active capture area measures 15 x 18 mm and scans at 512 ppi, producing detailed fingerprint images for single-finger enrolment or verification. The small platen cannot capture rolled prints or multiple fingers at once, so it suits kiosk log-on or point-of-sale authentication rather than forensic enrolment.

Optical sensor with blue LED illumination

Blue LEDs light the optical sensor to reject latent or spoof fingerprints during each scan. The reader operates between 0 °C and 40 °C with 20–80 % non-condensing humidity, so outdoor or unconditioned environments outside that range are not supported.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 2.0 connection work with my older PC that only has USB 1.1 ports?

USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1, so the U.are.U 4500 will function on older ports, though image capture speed may be limited by the slower bus bandwidth.

How can I verify the 512 ppi optical sensor is capturing images correctly after installation?

Use the DigitalPersona Biometric SDK diagnostic tool to run a test scan; it will display the captured fingerprint image and confirm the 15 x 18 mm platen area is reading at the specified 512 ppi resolution.

Does the 50013-001-104 package include a mounting bracket or stand, or must I buy one separately?

The reader measures 65 x 36 x 16 mm and connects directly via its integrated USB 2.0 cable; no mounting hardware is included or required for desktop operation.
