Hardware Configuration
- Notebook computer, mouse, USB flash drive, DVD/CD-RW drive, recharger, accumulator package
- Car voltage converter, power filter
- GSM modem
- PAPILLON DS-30N fingerprint scanner
- Flatbed scanner (A4 size)
- Rechargeable portable printer (A4 size)
- Digital camera, recharger, tripod
- Ruggedized transportable suitcase
The PAPILLON-M station is adapted for efficient operation in any vehicle (mobile crime labs, for instance) – it can be powered with car accumulators through voltage converter or with car on-board power system. If no external power source available, the equipment can operate being energized from batteries.
Incorporated in a special rugged case, all components are fully protected during transportation. The complex can be prepared for use within 5 minutes (determined by computer boot-up).

Interaction with AFIS
Equipped with the AFIS software, PAPILLON-M is capable of maintaining its internal database of tenprints and latents and with it providing a remote access to PAPILLON AFIS sites (Central AFIS) using cellular communication or other available channels including dedicated ones.
Operational testing shows that to transmit encoded tenprint and latent print files to AFIS for searches (database size is about 7 million tenprints and 160 thousand latents) it takes for PAPILLON-M:
- 25 minutes to submit a latent print and receive search results using cellular channel and 20 minutes when using a dedicated channel of EITKS (integrated information telecommunication system)
- 40 minutes to submit a tenprint and receive search results using cellular channel and only 2.5 minutes when using the EITKS channel.
According to the results obtained during pilot operation of the PAPILLON-M complex as an express ID check terminal, the average time needed to verify the identity of a subject against the AFIS database of a 7 million record capacity turns out to be 40 seconds when using the EITKS channel and 3 minutes using cellular communication.

Functional Capabilities
With the PAPILLON AFIS, PAPILLON LIVE SCANNER, PAPILLON FILTER, and PAPILLON RASTR software installed, the PAPILLON-M workstation is a multifunctional instrument that enables forensic experts and fingerprint technicians:
- to create and maintain a local database of tenprints and latent prints
- to input latent print images directly from objects and surfaces they are discovered on or from lifting tapes and layout sheets through the use of digital camera and flatbed scanner respectively
- to process the images of captured latent prints including those of poor quality
- to create electronic tenprints through electronic fingerprinting (for a more detailed discussion, see PAPILLON LIVE SCANNER)
- to take mugshots, SMT and document photos
- to enter tenprints: importing electronic tenprint cards, scanning paper tenprint cards
- to code tenprint and latent images, to perform searches of the internal database and to verify the results
- to transmit latent and tenprint records (including tenprints of the dead) to the Central AFIS for search and database insertion
- to verify the identity of subjects in real-time mode against local and Central AFIS databases to determine if the individual can be linked to unsolved cases and to retrieve other related information, e.g. apprehensions, previous convictions, search for wanted, authenticity of passport data, etc. (for a more detailed discussion, see PAPILLON FILTER)
- to receive search results from the Central AFIS
- to operate with Central AFIS database (under appropriate permissions), to verify candidate lists, and to print out information
- to process images, to prepare evidence illustrations, examination work sheets and charts using the capabilities of the PAPILLON RASTR program
- to print out any text and graphic information and documents
