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.
While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you until the
sensor surface becomes visible.
Ensure the center of the fingerprint is on the sensor when swiping the finger.
❑ Avoid swiping with the finger stiff or pressed-on too hard
Note:
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.
❑ Confirm the center of the fingerprint whirl before swiping
The thumb's fingerprint has a bigger whirl, which is prone to mis-
alignment and distortions. This will cause difficulty in registration
and a drop in the authentication success rate. Always confirm the
center of the fingerprint whirl so that it is swiped along the center-
line 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.

Using optical media drives

The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optical CD-RW/
DVD-ROM drive. However, operation is the same for all other optical media
drives. The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-
ROM-based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/
DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-
ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator
on the drive glows.
