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
account. When the 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.
The Fast User Switching feature of the Windows
system is also supported. If user A is logged on and the
fingerprint utility verifies the fingerprint of user B (who is
already enrolled), the utility recognizes the fingerprint and
switches the users.
If your system supports power-on security, existing
fingerprint samples can be used also for power-on
authentication.

Care and maintenance of your fingerprint reader

Failure to follow these guidelines and/or procedures might
result in damage to the reader or cause reader failure, finger
recognition problems, or lower finger recognition success
rate.
❖
Do not scratch or poke the reader with your nails or any
hard or sharp objects.
❖
Do not press the reader with too much pressure.
❖
Do not touch the reader with a wet finger or any wet
objects. Keep reader surface dry and free of water vapor.
❖
Do not touch the reader with a soiled finger. Minute
foreign particles on a soiled or dirty finger may scratch
the reader.
❖
Do not paste stickers or write on the reader.
❖
Do not touch the reader with a finger or any object with
built-up static electricity.
Observe the following before you swipe your finger on the
reader, whether for fingerprint enrollment/registration or
recognition.
❖
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
❖
Remove static electricity from your fingers by touching
any metal surface. Static electricity is a common cause
of reader failures, especially during dry seasons such as
winter.
