Must to know
Notice: Do not attempt to service the machine yourself, except
as explain in your online documentation or in instruction
otherwise.Always follow this user guide closely.
● Please do not place the product in the place with strong light,
because the strong light may significantly affect the fingerprint
scanning, and thus cause the fingerprint verification fail. This
product is designed for indoor installation, if it has to be installed it
outdoor, please place the equipment in proper environment, you
must beware of not exposing it to wet or harsh condition, the
product work temperature rang is 0-40 . Do to use you℃machine in
every hot environment, keep you machine away from the heat
source and radiator. For long time use it outdoor and the internal
heat of the machine, will cause problem to the operation

How to place the finger
Make sure the fingerprint image captured is of a core of presented
finger, a fingerprint is point to locate within innermost recurring
ridge of any give finger.
To obtain a higher success rate, enroll same finger 3times in a
slightly adjust angle, one to the center, one incline slightly to the
left. The third incline slightly to the right. You follow the following
place procedure; the success rate will increase dramatically.

The operator panel LEDs signify different, depending on their
sequences. LED s that are off, on or blinking indicates fingerprint
machine work.

3. Basic Concepts
This section contains definitions and descriptions of the fingerprint
Identification system concepts，including：
lUser Enrollment
lUser Verification
lMatch Threshold Levels
lUser ID Numbers
lPrivilege (Status) Levels
The two most important Functions to Fingerprint Idenification are
user enrollment and user verification.
3.1 User Enrollment
Enrollment is the procedure to create an ID number and scan a
user’s finger to create a template three times. This template is
associated with a user ID number and stored up.
Though the stored fingerprint reference template match against
place user’s finger, this fingerprint template is used to identify
user’s Identity, so an enrolled user is able to achieve the time clock
in the appoint machine, the whole procedure take about 2 second,
for the same ID number the up to ten different fingerprint ability to

Basic Concepts
be enrolled, the user may own much more verification way.
Ideally. Every finger on each hand should be enrolled, so that if a
enrolled finger is injured, to alternate the backup finger is available,
in normal condition, it is better that last two finger is enrolled, like,
left or right index finger, so the user ability to use his (her) any
finger to identify and keep away the troubles is duo to he (her)
forget which finger has been enrolled
3.2 User Identification/Verification
The process of comparing place user’s finger against the stored
fingerprint reference template. when a user either input an ID
number or places a finger in the fingerprint sensor, then input
password or press fingerprint, after verification process carry out,
the system will show whether identify failure or success and store
up the successful result to equipment Verification occurs when a
user either enters an ID number or places a finger in the fingerprint
sensor, then input password for comparison with the stored
template.
3.3 Threshold
Threshold - A predefined number, often controlled by a biometric
system administrator, which establishes the degree of correlation
necessary for a comparison to be deemed a match. If the score
resulting from template comparison exceeds the threshold, the

- 9 -
templates are a “match” (though the templates themselves are not
identical).
The Threshold establishes a balance between False Acceptance
Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR). FAR mean the
probability that a biometric system will incorrectly identify an
individual or will fail to reject an impostor. The rate given normally
assumes FRR measure the probability that a biometric system will
fail to identify an enrolee, or verify the legitimate claimed identity
of an enrolee.
You can set the threshold to all users. For a user who’s the
fingerprint verification is difficult, you can adopt ID & Fingerprint
verification (match one to one).
Raising the threshold increases security, while lowering it increases
pass. The correct balance is vital. For a user whose finger is worn
or injured, the threshold should be reduced.
Notice: FAR and FRR affect each other, if increases FAR then
reduce FRR. The default Threshold is 35, 1:1 matching Threshold
is 15. Table 1—1 Suggested Threshold Settings
FRR FAR One-to-many One-to-one
High Low 45 25
Middle Middle 35 15

Basic Concepts
Low High 25 10
3.4 User ID Numbers
Before beginning fingerprint enrollment, a user is assigned User ID
Number. This ID number is used to call up the fingerprint template
or password each time that verification is requested.
ID numbers are normally inputted via the keypad, but they can be
called up by other means of such as RF Card, Mifare Card (the
realizing function condition is that there is card reader in the
machine)
3.5 Privilege (status) Levels
Privileges are permission that is give to use. These define the
ability of user to perform specified administrative and other task,
including the ability to view, edit, add, or renew specified
information categories.
Privilege levels are named set of permission that can be modified
as required, User’s four privilege levels are assigned by the
fingerprint machine, that are user, enroller, administrator, Super
administrator( supervisor).
The Fingerprint Identification systems have four Privilege or status
levels:
lUsers are people whose identity must be verified, such to

- 11 -
gain access to a facility or to have their attendance recorded.
lEnrollers are Users who are authorized to enroll new
users or delete on to the system.
lManagers can do other operations, except set advanced
option and enroll manager’s privilege.
lSupervisors are Users who access to all functions and
change all setup in the system.
Note: if there is no the Manager and Supervisorstatus in the system, the
Enroller will enroll them. And if there isn’t a Supervisor in the system,
the Managerwill enroll him.

This chapter describes how to enroll and verify users on the Fingerprint
verification system
The following topics are included:
lEnrolling User
lTesting an Enrollment
lEnrolling a Auxiliary Fingerprint of User
lVerifying Your Identity
lHints for Successful Enrollments
4.1 Enrolling Users
After setting up your fingerprint machine, the machine power on,
you may enroll the user. If this is the first enrollment in a new or
empty system, everyone will become an enroller, if there is a
administrator in the system, you should be allowed by a
administrator to enroll a new user.
This machine provides with three ways to enroll, such the
Fingerprint Enrollment, the Password Enrollment, the Fingerprint
and the Password Enrollment. Above three kinds of ways are
correspond equal to different personnel whose fingerprint quality is
different. The Fingerprint Enrollment is suitable to the personnel
whose fingerprint quality is quite good; the fingerprint and the
4

- 13 -
password are suitable to the personnel, whose fingerprint may be
enrolled successfully, but the verification process is the quite
difficult; the Password Enrollment is suitable to the personnel
whose fingerprint is unable to enroll successfully. According to the
actual situation, you may select a proper enrollment way.
To start the enrollment process, identify yourself firstly—press
[Menu], enter your ID number or fingerprint, and then verify your
identity.
Note: If this is the first enrollment in a new or empty system,
you will not be prompted for verification.
4.1.1 Fingerprint Enrollment
1）Press the MENU button to enter the User enroll，Access the
Enroll Fingerprint to press [OK], the following display:
Note：this fingerprint machine default enrolling number is 5
digit, if youu enrolled number does not arrive 5 digit, the
machine will add 0 in front of this figure , E.g. your number is
11, the 00011 will be displayed in the machine.

4）Press [OK], the previous message continues to be displayed
while the template is created. If your identity cannot be verified,
you are prompted to try again. And you must restart the verification
procedure (Step 2).
