Chapter One: Introduction

Thank you for your recent purchase of the TQ100, a data collection
terminal for timeQplus BIOMETRIC™ time and attendance system. This user
manual provides specific information that will help you better understand the
functionality of the terminal (TQ100). Some key areas that are important to
the terminal's (TQ100) performance are the operating environment, the
system overview, communication options and enrollment.

1.1 Operating Environment

Please read the manual carefully before using the product. The terminal
operates most efficiently by following these recommendations:
1. DO NOT expose the TQ100 to direct sun light. Direct sunlight may
impact the fingerprint reader optics and affect enrollment, quality
of the templates, and performance of the fingerprint recognition process.
2. TQ100 operating temperature is 39F-110F. Do not operate the terminal
outdoors. High temperature and humidity may affect its performance.

1.2 System Description

The timeQplus BIOMETRIC™ time and attendance system consists
of two parts:
1. Fingerprint terminal TQ100
2. AttendanceRx, the time and attendance management software that
runs on the PC.
The TQ100 terminal's main function is to register employees' fingerprints
and record daily time and attendance. The PC software is used to manage
the TQ100 and process employee information using a set of attendance
rules defined by the Administrator. The PC software interacts with the
terminal TQ100, calculates time, and generates reports. The time and
attendance PC software application compatible with the TQ100 is called
AttendanceRx.
Three communication options are available between the TQ100 terminal and
the PC software: serial (RS232) and network (RS485, Ethernet).
