Using the fingerprint reader (select models only)

Integrated fingerprint readers are available on select computer models. In order to use the fingerprint
reader, you must set up a user account with a password on the computer. This account allows you to
log on to your computer with a swipe of a designated finger. You may also use the fingerprint reader
to fill in password fields on websites and other programs that require a logon. Refer to the fingerprint
software Help for instructions.
After you create your fingerprint identity, you can set up a Single Sign On service that allows you to
use your fingerprint scanner to create credentials for any application that requires a user name and
password.

Locating the fingerprint reader

The fingerprint reader is a small metallic sensor that is located near the right side of the keyboard.
Depending on your computer model, the reader may be oriented horizontally or vertically. Both
orientations require that you swipe your finger perpendicular to the metallic sensor. Refer to
