Fingerprint Authentication Utility
During fingerprint enrollment, the system displays icons as
prompts, notifications, and warnings. These icons and their
meanings are as follows:
❖ Reader ready—the reader is waiting to read your fingerprint.
Swipe your finger when you are ready.
❖ Reader busy—wait for the reader to complete its operation.
❖ Problem with operation—the reader could not read your
fingerprint. Swipe your finger again.
❖ Operation succeeded—the reader successfully read or verified
your fingerprint.
❖ Failed to verify the user—the fingerprint could not be matched.
❖ Error reading fingerprint—the finger was too far to the left or
right. Center your finger and swipe it again.
❖ Error reading fingerprint—the movement was skewed. Swipe
your finger again in a straight line.
❖ Error reading fingerprint—the movement was too fast. Swipe
your finger again at a slower speed.
❖ Error reading fingerprint—the movement was too short. Swipe
your finger again using a longer motion.
Fingerprint Logon
The fingerprint utility enables logon to your computer using
fingerprints. During user enrollment, fingerprint samples are saved
and associated with the user’s Windows
®
user account. When the
user attempts to log on again, the user’s fingerprint is read and
compared with the user’s enrolled fingerprints; if the fingerprint is
recognized, user logon is completed.
The Fast User Switching feature of the Windows
®
operating system
is also supported. If user A is logged on and the fingerprint utility
verifies the fingerprint of user B (who is already enrolled), the
utility recognizes the fingerprint and switches the users.
If your system supports power-on security, existing fingerprint
samples can be used also for power-on authentication.
