Abstract
A mobile or handheld printer incorporates fingerprint recognition. The mobile printer is a part of a larger system that accesses secure and controlled access databases containing confidential information such as the history of an individual. The mobile printer and the larger system can use a recognized fingerprint to identify an individual in real time. A report or citation can be also printed in real time, while municipal or private databases are modified to reflect the subject activity of the report or citation.
