Using TOSHIBA Face Recognition
TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face verification library to verify the 
face data of users when they log in Windows. The user can thus avoid 
having to enter a password or the like, which makes the login process 
easier. This software is preinstalled with some models.
Disclaimer
Toshiba does not guarantee that the face recognition utility technology will 
be completely secure or error-free. Toshiba does not guarantee that the 
face recognition utility will accurately screen out unauthorized users at all 
times. Toshiba is not liable for any failure or damage that might arise out of 
the use of the face recognition software or utility. 
TOSHIBA, ITS AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS SHALL HAVE NO 
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF ANY BUSINESS, 
PROFITS, PROGRAMS DATA, NETWORK SYSTEMS OR REMOVABLE 
STORAGE MEDIA ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE USE 
OF THE PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY 
THEREOF.
How to register the Face Recognition Data
Take a picture for facial verification purposes, and register the data needed 
when you log in. To register the data needed when you log in, follow the 
steps as described below:
1. To launch this utility, click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> 
Utilities -> TOSHIBA Face Recognition.
TOSHIBA Face Recognition does not guarantee the correct 
identification of a user. Changes to the likeness of a registrant, such as 
hairstyle changes, wearing a cap, or wearing glasses may affect the 
recognition rates when such changes occur after the registrant had 
registered. 
TOSHIBA Face Recognition may incorrectly recognize faces that are 
similar to a registrant. 
For high security purposes, TOSHIBA Face Recognition is not a 
suitable substitute for Windows passwords. When security is a high 
priority, use your established Windows passwords to log in. 
Bright background light and/or shadows may prevent a registrant from 
being recognized correctly. In that case, log in using your Windows 
password. If recognition of a registrant fails repeatedly, refer to your 
computer documentation to learn ways to improve recognition 
performance. 
The Registration screen is displayed for a logged-in user whose face 
has not been registered.
The Management screen is displayed for a logged-in user whose face 
has already been registered.
