Fingerprint Authentication Utility
It is recommended that you complete the Fingerprint practice tutorial
before starting fingerprint enrollment. The Fingerprint practice
tutorial shows how to achieve the highest quality fingerprint
samples.
If you choose to use this utility it is strongly recommended that you
delete your fingerprint template data before transferring ownership or
disposing of your computer. Otherwise, personal information and/or
proprietary information on the internal storage drive may be viewed
by a third party. For details on how to delete the fingerprint data, see
your Online help file.
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.
Care and maintenance of your fingerprint reader
Failure to follow these guidelines and/or procedures might result in
damage to the reader or cause reader failure, finger recognition
problems, or lower finger recognition success rate.
❖ Do not scratch or poke the reader with your nails or any hard or
sharp objects.
❖ Do not press the reader with too much pressure.
❖ Do not touch the reader with a wet finger or any wet objects.
Keep reader surface dry and free of water vapor.
❖ Do not touch the reader with a soiled finger. Minute foreign
particles on a soiled or dirty finger may scratch the reader.
❖ Do not paste stickers or write on the reader.
❖ Do not touch the reader with a finger or any object with
built-up static electricity.
