    This depends on the hardware. Most fingerprint readers only give you a user token and store the fingerprints in there own storage. You put in a users name and token, let the user scan there fingers for 5 times and then the fingerprinter will know that fingerprint. Other readers just give you a hashlike byte array that represents the fingerprint and you'll have to handle it yourself. So, you have to search for an Fingerprint reader that supports images and you should contact the reseller to make sure the API supports images.

    That is the problem that i have to face with. :-( The reader don't have the SDK for it. All i can have is the driver for it. :-(
