This product has a fingerprint utility installed for the purpose of enrolling 
and recognizing fingerprints. By enrolling the ID and password onto the 
fingerprint authentication feature, it is no longer necessary to input the 
password from the keyboard. Fingerprint feature enables you to:

■

Logon to Windows and access a security enabled homepage through 
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 a 
power-saving mode such as Sleep Mode.

■

Authentication of the User Password (and, if applicable, the HDD(Hard 
Disk Drive) Password) when booting up the computer (boot 
authentication).

■

Single sign-on feature

Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration or 
authentication will help to minimize authentication failures:

Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch the 
sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you until the sensor surface 
becomes visible. In performing this process, you should also take care to 
ensure that the center of your fingerprint is on the sensor.

The following illustrations show the recommended way to swipe your finger 
over the fingerprint sensor.
