6) When ready to scan a fingerprint, press the ‘start’ button to begin. The process will prompt an initial scan of the fingerprint and then make a secondary confirmation scan (to make sure the images match). Once both images are matched you will be promted to select which readers the user will be assigned to.

The ievo micro scan in less that 200ms so it is essential to keep your finger still to prevent any sliding or movement that may distort the image, which could lead to recognition issues.

Has the reader been installed at the required height? ievo readers have instalment placement guides to allow for optimum efficiency and to be compliant with DDA regulations. Refer to the ievo manual for DDA compliant guidance or contact your supplier/installer if you are unsure.

Is there excessive dirt or debris on the user’s finger or sensor? Although ievo readers can scan through levels of dirt and debris, having a ‘clean’ finger will always increase the effectiveness of the reader. Also ensure that there is no excessive dirt or debris on the reader’s sensor itself before scanning.
Is there excessive dirt or debris on your finger? Although ievo readers can scan through levels of dirt and debris, having a ‘clean’ finger will always increase the effectiveness of the reader. Ensure that you are not pressing too heavily on the reader during a scan.

Fingerprint images are not stored. An ievo reader scans a finger and collates a range of different identifying reference points. These reference points are converted to a template and stored on an ievo Control Board. For more information, please read the ‘Data Protection’ section of this guide.
PROBLEM FINGERPRINTS What is a ‘problem fingerprint’? While the vast majority of fingerprints can be used with ievo fingerprint readers there are a few occasions where some fingerprints can be tricky to capture. These instances usually occur when a finger has been heavily damaged causing permanent surface and subsurface skin abrasions.
Page 23
Fig.1 Start with scanning the left side of your finger, and then keep scanning different angles rotating to the right until a good scan has been captured. If a registered finger is still not being identified, keep trying different angles. If you continue to encounter problems with registering a fingerprint, please contact your installer for further advice.
DATA PROTECTION What happens when my fingerprint is scanned? When registering as a user, an ievo reader will scan your fingerprint and a connected ievo Control Board will use an extraction algorithm to identify specific features within your fingerprint called minutiae. Identified minutiae points are categorised into groups, which include line bifurcations and ridge endings amongst other data groups.
Page 25
How is my data stored? An advanced algorithm is used to extract specific fingerprint data captured after a scan. This data is stored on an ievo Control Board using a unique proprietary template format. The stored template is unique to an individual and the template is only accessed for identification purposes by the ievo Control Board.
Behavioural characteristics are related to the pattern of behaviour of a person, including but not limited to, typing rhythm, gait, and voice. At ievo Ltd we solely focus on the fingerprint physiological classifications of biometrics as a means of authentication and identity.

Blood vessels and other skin structures below the surface of the skin, provide an internal fingerprint pattern which in turn helps shape what we see on our fingers. These surface ridges, are formed by collagen pushing between the blood vessels in the subsurface and form what is commonly known as the ‘true’...
