The FPC Fingerprint Reader refers to a fingerprint scanning device produced by Fingerprint Cards AB (FPC), a company that specializes in biometric sensors, including fingerprint recognition technology. These fingerprint sensors are commonly integrated into laptops, smartphones, or other devices to provide secure biometric authentication, typically used for logging in or unlocking a device.
A Windows driver for an FPC Fingerprint Reader is a software component that allows the fingerprint sensor to communicate with the operating system, enabling it to work correctly for functions like fingerprint login, security features, and other biometric-related actions. The driver is necessary because Windows does not natively recognize the FPC fingerprint reader without the appropriate software.
