Hello.

The GT-511C3 does not actually save an image of your fingerprint, instead it saves it as a "template" which is simply a string of serial data that the device(and other fingerprint scanners) use to identify your fingerprint.

I am uncertain if there is a way to convert that template into an image. I am sure where there is a will there is a way but do not know where to point you.

Hope this helps.

Hey again.

I seemed to overlook this feature. Yes, the get live image button in the software should allow you to do just that. I have not tested this myself, however, I can give it a go and report back if you like.
