2 • USING THE FINGERTEC
®
FINGERPRINT READER
FingerTec® fingerprint reader provides 3 types of enrollment method:
• Fingerprint Enrollment
User enrolls his fingerprint template into a reader and the template will be used for future
verifications.
• Password Enrollment
For user who has difficulty to enroll his fingerprint due to poor fingerprint quality, he is recommended to enroll password. Password enrollment is also suitable for visitors and temporary
workers.
• Fingerprint and Password Enrollment
Under this option, a user can enroll both fingerprint and password at the same time. The user
can either use fingerprint or password to report attendance or to gain access.
USING THE FINGERPRINT READER
This chapter will guide on how to use the
FingerTec® fingerprint reader effectively.
To get a good reading every time, a fingerprint enrollment for the first time must be
done properly.

TIPS FOR BEST FINGERPRINT ENROLLMENT
There are 5 tips to get good fingerprint enrollment:
• Use INDEX finger
Index finger is smaller than thumb and it can be comfortably
placed on the sensor. The use of thumb is not recommended
because the center points might not be placed properly on the
sensor, hence cannot be read by the sensor due to its larger
size.
• Make sure the finger is not wet, too dry, injured or dirty
The finger needs to be slightly moist to enable the sensor to
read the minutiae points on the fingerprint.
• Place the center points of your finger at the center of the
sensor
The center points of a finger is an area where there is a swirl
and the center points must be properly placed on the sensor
during enrollment.
• Don’t press hard at the sensor, just place your finger on the
sensor
The sensor is reading minutiae points of your finger and placing
a finger properly on the sensor will prompt the sensor to read
those points. Pressing your finger hard on the sensor is not
necessary.
• Don’t do enrollment under bright light or direct sunlight
It is important to note that bright light or sunlight could interfere with the reading of the sensor. Avoid placing the reader
under direct sunlight or bright light to avoid difficulty in enrollment and future verification.
