            Appeal No. 1998-3023                                                      
            Application No. 08/339,731                                                

            fingerprints - ten rolled and ten plain fingerprints.                     
            An operator inputs the entire tenprint card image,                        
            temporarily stores the image and displays it.  The                        
            operator views the image and identifies cutout regions                    
            containing individual fingerprint images and the location                 
            of each fingerprint image within each cutout region.  The                 
            operator then has the option of modifying the cutout                      
            information to select cutout regions other than those                     
            previously selected or outputting the selected cutout                     
            regions containing the fingerprint images.                                
                 Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as                  
            follows:                                                                  
            1.  A fingerprint image cutout processing device for                      
            a tenprint card comprising:                                               
            image input means for inputting, on a card-by-card                        
            basis, image data provided on a tenprint card containing                  
            rolled fingerprints and plain fingerprints of ten                         
            fingers;                                                                  
            image storage means for storing said image data                           
            input by said image input means;                                          
            cutout information input means for accepting input                        
            of fingerprint cutout information for each of said ten                    
            fingers, said cutout information input means displaying                   
            said tenprint                                                             


                                          2
