All live scan and card scan devices are delivered with field edits to ensure that only valid data is transmitted. These edit tables are updated as the need arises by the machine vendors.
Edits should not be turned off. Doing so allows invalid data to be submitted to CIB. This invalid submission sends these cards into an error queue and requires CIB to contact your agency obtain the correct data.
If fingerprint image thresholds are set too low or turned off, unusable fingerprints may be submitted to CIB. If this happens, your agency will be contacted and requested to obtain a usable set of fingerprints for resubmission.
