Points to note about the Fingerprint Utility software
The Encrypting File System (EFS) is a Windows Vista feature.
If a file is encrypted using EFS, it cannot be encrypted further using the
fingerprint authentication function.
Windows Logon via Fingerprint Authentication
If required, you are also able to use fingerprint authentication in place of the
usual Windows logon process using your username and password.
This method is especially useful where there are many users using the
same computer as it removes the need for actual user selection when the
system is started.
Fingerprint Authentication Procedure
1. Start up the computer.
2. At the Windows Welcome screen, choose any of the enrolled fingers
and swipe the fingerprint on the sensor - if the authentication process is
successful, the user will automatically be logged in to Windows.
5. A message will be displayed asking for confirmation to delete the
fingerprint data, click the Yes button.
In use, please be aware of the following limitations of the fingerprint
sensor:
■ A warning message will be displayed when recognition is
abnormal or recognition is not successful within a fixed duration.
■ The fingerprint sensor compares and analyzes the unique
characteristics in a fingerprint. However, there may be instances
where certain users are unable to register their fingerprints due
to insufficient unique characteristics in their fingerprints.
■ The recognition success rate may differ from user to user.
■ Toshiba does not guarantee that this fingerprint recognition
technology will be error-free.
■ Toshiba does not guarantee that the fingerprint sensor will
recognize the enrolled user or accurately screen out
