How to Swipe the Finger

Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration or

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 when in portrait mode,

and sideways when in either landscape mode or Laptop mode.

While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you when in

portrait mode, and sideways when in either landscape mode or Laptop

mode until the sensor surface becomes visible.

Using the USB floppy disk drive (optional)

The USB floppy disk drive accommodates 1.44-megabyte or 720-kilobyte

floppy disks and connects to the USB port. Refer to Chapter 2,

, for more information. It is supplied as standard with some models and

as an option with others.

Connecting the USB floppy disk drive

To connect the drive, plug the floppy disk drive’s USB connector into a

computer’s USB port.

■

Avoid swiping with the finger stiff or pressed-on too hard

Fingerprint reading may fail if the center of the fingerprint is not

touching on the sensor, or when finger is swiped while pressing hard.

Make sure that the center of the fingerprint is touching the sensor

before swiping.

■

Always confirm the center of the fingerprint whirl so that it is swiped

along the centerline of the sensor.

■

When fingerprint reading is not successful

There is a possibility of authentication failures if the finger is swiped too

quickly or too slowly. Follow the onscreen instructions to adjust the

speed of the swipe.

Make sure the connector is back side up and properly aligned with the

socket. Do not try to force the connection, doing so can damage the

connecting pins.
