HandPunch 2000 Installation and Operations Manual
HandPunch Technology
The HandPunch uses the size and the shape of the human hand to verify a person’s identity.
It does not read fingerprints or the palm. The reader takes over 90 measurements of the
fingers and part of the hand. The hand reader uses invisible light like the kind used in a
television remote control, special optics and a CCD (chip) camera to capture a threedimensional image of the hand. Using advanced microprocessor technology, the terminal
converts the image to a template. It stores the template in database with the employee’s ID
number. To punch in, the employee enters his or her ID number at the terminal. HandPunch
2000 prompts the employee to place his or her hand. The terminal compares the hand on the
platen with employee’s unique template. If the images match, the terminal stores the punch
information and uploads it to time and attendance software for processing.
Using the HandPunch 2000 is easy…
