NOTE

Fingerprint Logon

The fingerprint utility enables logon to your computer using
fingerprints. During user enrollment, fingerprint samples are saved
and associated with the user's Windows
user attempts to log on again, the user's fingerprint is read and
compared with the user's enrolled fingerprints; if the fingerprint is
recognized, user logon is completed.
It is recommended that you complete the Fingerprint practice tutorial
before starting fingerprint enrollment. The Fingerprint practice
tutorial shows how to achieve the highest quality fingerprint
samples.
If you choose to use this utility it is strongly recommended that you
delete your fingerprint template data before transferring ownership or
disposing of your computer. Otherwise, personal information and/or
proprietary information on the internal storage drive may be viewed
by a third party. For details on how to delete the fingerprint data, see
your Online help file.
