Using the fingerprint sensor
Depending on the model purchased there is installed a fingeprint utility for
the purpose of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints. By enrolling the ID
and password to the fingerprint authentication device, it is no longer
necessary to input the password from the keyboard. Just by swiping the
finger against the fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be enabled:
Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through
IE (Internet Explorer).
Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to
them prevented.
Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from
power-saving (Sleep) mode.
Pre-OS feature and Single Sign-On feature.
Authentication of the User Password and Hard Disk Password when
booting up the computer.
How to swipe the finger

authentication will help to minimize authentication failures:
1. Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch
the sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you.
2. While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you until the
sensor surface becomes visible.
3. Ensure the center of the fingerprint is on the sensor when swiping the
finger.
