Abstract

A code reader incorporated into a fingerprint scanner for viewing of security items such as credit cards, bank cards, passports and the like and comparing embedded coding on the item to an individual's fingerprint. In this manner, the imaging plane can be used to view the security items in combination with scanning the fingerprint of the individual for comparison.
