clear rib and valley patterns.

Step 3.Apply just enough pressure with your finger so as to obtain a sharp image by
the scanner.

fingerprint image. In addition, enroll the identical fingerprint image more than
once to ensure successful verification,and to best capture the characteristics of
user’s fingerprint image.

5. It will require the user to take at least3 to 7times to enroll successfully. You can
adjust the “level of security”from low to high. Users can decide the degree of

well as password functions. The password function will act as secondary
access option. In the event of sensor damage, unclear fingerprint images or
lossof fingerprints,the password can replace the fingerprint images to

14
become the primary access security
Some users may have distinct fingerprint images, others may not. In
addition, someindividuals may take a short time to enroll their fingerprint
images, others may have to take a longer time. It is important to follow the
