KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
Definition of attendance status
Definition of attendance status can be done using keypads. Users can define their clocking status before fingerprint or password verification is done. Definition of the clocking
status is very important for the system to allocate the time a user verified into the corresponding clocking slots. Improper clocking definitions could affect the work time, overtime and short time calculations.
It is important to define the correct clocking status when using TA100 DIY reader.

Fingerprint reader provides 3 types of enrollment method:
• FINGERPRINT ENROLLMENT
• PASSWORD ENROLLMENT
• FINGERPRINT AND PASSWORD ENROLLMENT
User enrolls his fingerprint template into a reader and the template will be used for
future verifications.
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.
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.

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.
