This mayinclude unformatted text information such as location, background information, ordescriptive information. If comments need to be made about specific portions ofthe impression, use Field 9.324 or Field 9.357.13.9.53 EFS Field 9.352 Latent Processing Method / LPMThis text field contains a three-letter code from Table 35 indicating thetechnique(s) used to process the latent fingerprint. This field is only used forlatent images. Unprocessed impressions (patent images visible to the nakedeye) are labeled VIS. Multiple methods can be marked if appropriate. Methodsshould only be marked if they contributed substantively to the visualization of theimage, and are not a list of all methods attempted.110DRAFT 2
