Mentalix's Fed Submit(TM) Delivers Electronic Fingerprint
Cards
Fed Submit Software and Workstations Speed Up Background
Checks
PLANO, Texas -- Mentalix, Inc. announces the release
of Fed
Submit, a Windows(R)-based product that allows
users to automate the process of submitting fingerprint
cards for applicant background checks. Fed Submit
saves time by enabling customers to transmit ten-print
cards from potential employees or license applicants
electronically, instead of mailing them to a verification
agency. The software can be customized to comply with
specific state or processing agency requirements.
Typical customers include government agencies that
transmit data to the OPM (Office of Personnel Management),
banks that submit background checks to the ABA (American
Bankers Association), and airports that send fingerprints
to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).
The program complies with the FBI's AFIS (Automated
Fingerprint Identification System) scanning, transmission
and compression standards. Fed Submit meets ANSI/NIST
fingerprint submission requirements, upon which virtually
all state, federal and civilian agencies' identification
systems are based. The software can be installed on
the user's existing hardware, or customers may purchase
a complete workstation package that includes both
pre-installed software and hardware.
"Fed Submit is intended for customers who want an easy-to-use,
affordable system that does not require extensive
user training or complex, expensive hardware," Paul
Siegert, Mentalix CEO and president, states. "We are
automating established fingerprint submission methods,
making the transition to a faster system economical
and painless."
Customers can choose between a software-only version and the Fed
Submit Workstation, which includes the software as well as the necessary
computer, monitor and scanner. Both solutions are affordable and
use off-the-shelf equipment. Fed Submit configurations support a
range of scanners,
so that customers can select the device that best meets their needs.
Desktop models, high-speed scanners and devices that support an
automatic document feeder are all supported. Inquire at info@mentalix.com.
