1 Introduction to the fingerprint solution
A fingerprint sensor is integrated with the time terminal. The fingerprint
sensor is used for enrolling user’s fingerprints, storing fingerprint
templates and for identifying users.
No images of the fingerprints are stored. Instead, a data model (a set of
data points) of the fingerprint, called a fingerprint template, is stored
locally on the fingerprint sensor in the terminal.
2. Operating modes
The fingerprint sensor has two main operating modes; Identify mode and
Enrol mode.
Identify mode isthe normal mode which also isentered automatically after
start-up of the terminal.
How to enter Enrol mode is described below. It is important to note that a
short time after the enrolment process has been completed, the
fingerprint sensor automatically changes to Identify mode.
3. Identification mode
Identify mode is the normal mode of the terminal. It means that the
fingerprint sensor is ready to scan any finger index that is placed on the
fingerprint sensor.
The scan starts automatically when a finger has been detected by the
sensor. The scanned fingerprint will be compared with all stored
fingerprint templates on the fingerprint sensor. If a matching template is
found the Global ID value for the user will be sent to the application
running in the terminal. The Global ID value is a unique identifier for the
user that the Time & Attendance (T&A) system is aware of. As an
example, there are T&A systems that may use the users Badge number
as Global ID value.

4. Enrol mode.
All users who shall use the fingerprint sensor on a terminal must be
enrolled on the local terminal. To enter Enrol mode:
a) Log in as Admin on the Time and Attendance application running
in the terminal.
b) Depending on the Time and Attendance app used, select the User
to be enrolled if applicable.
c) Select “Manage fingerprint” which will open the Manage
Fingerprint View.
5. Manage Fingerprint View
In this view it ispossible to enrol
new users, delete users
fingerprint templates and to test
identification of a finger which
will tell if the scanned finger is
linked to an enrolled user.
How a user´s Global ID-value is
entered depends on the
implementation. Either it can be
done from a scroll list before
entering the Manage
Fingerprint View or by using a
virtual keypad.
5.1 Identify Mode in Manage
Fingerprint View.
It is possible to identify a finger
after entering Manage
Fingerprint view.
When finding a match, the light
indicator above the fingerprint
sensor will turn green and the
linked GlobalID (or badge
number) will be shown on the
touch screen.
If there is no match the light
indicator will turn red.

5.2 Delete users’ fingerprint templates
Templates for a user can be deleted by first entering the users Global ID-
value and then pressing the Delete button.
In the footer it will first say ”Delete requested” and after a while ”Delete
performed” when the deletion has been completed. Note that all
Fingerprint templates for the user will be deleted.
5.3 Enrol Mode in Manage Fingerprint View.
A new user/finger is enrolled by the following steps:
a) Global ID value
Double-check that the Global ID-value
is correct.
b) Start enrollment process
Start the enrollment process by
clicking “Enroll Finger”-button.
c) First scan
Wait until the message “Please wait”
changes to “Press finger”. The light
indicator is solid white.

d) Press finger first time
When the message says, “Press
finger” and the light indicator is solid
white press the finger firmly down on
the glass surface of the fingerprint
sensor.
Try to cover as large area of the glass
surface as possible. The fingerprint
sensor will blink during the scan.
e) Remove finger first time
Keep pressing the finger firmly until
message says, “Remove finger”.
Remove the finger away from the
fingerprint sensor so the finger is no
longer on, above or inside the
fingerprint sensor area.
f) Second scan
Wait until the message appears “Press
finger second time”.

g) Second scan finger press
Now firmly press down the same
finger on the glass surface to repeat
step (d) above.
h) Remove finger second time
When “Remove finger” is shown move
the finger away from fingerprint sensor
for a second time to repeat step (e)
above.
i) Third scan
Wait for the message “Press finger
third time”.
j) Press finger third time
Press finger firmly for a third time
down on the glass surface again to
repeat step (d) and (g) above.
k) Remove finger third time
When UI “Remove finger third time” is
shown, move the finger away from the
fingerprint sensor as described in
steps (e) and (h) above.
l) Successful enrolment
A successful enrolment sequence is
always confirmed by a solid green light
indicator.
m) An unsuccessful enrolment sequence
is indicated by a solid red-light
indicator.

6. Examples of reasons for an unsuccessful enrolment
a) The finger has already been enrolled on the fingerprint module.
b) The finger was pressed too softly.
c) The finger was not pressed in the same way during the three
enrolment steps.
d) The finger covered a too small area of the fingerprint sensor
during the enrolment steps.
7. Recommendations
NOTE 1: Never start the enrolment process without a solid white light
indication from the fingerprint sensor. See item 5.3 (d) above.
NOTE 2: The light indicator should not turn red during the enrolment
process. If it does turn red just cancel the enrolment process by waiting
for the sequence to end itself.
Frequently asked questions
Are fingerprints sent to a cloud-server?
No. The fingerprint templates are only stored locally.
How many fingers can be enrolled by a user?
Up to ten finger indexes are possible to enrol.
Is an image of the fingerprint stored?
No. Only a dataset of points of the fingerprint is stored as a fingerprint
template.
