How to Use the Fingerprint Reader
This section explains how your fingerprints are enrolled and authenticated.
1<CF-19 and CF-30 Series>
Slide your finger to the right or
left.
To prevent a reading error.
ASet the first joint of your finger on
the sensor as illustrated to the
right.
BSlide your finger to the right or left

Fingerprint’s Outline
The conventional security systems use ID/passwords and token devices such as
IC cards to authenticate users. Therefore the passwords and token devices are
exposed to the risk of being lost, stolen and hacking.
The Fingerprint authentication method uses user’s fingerprints instead of
passwords for security authentication. You can use your fingerprints to start up
your computer and log on Windows.
We recommend you use the Fingerprint Reader in combination with the TPM
(Trusted Platform Module) to increase the security level of your computer.

Precautions
Security Functions
Fingerprint Authentication Technology does not guarantee complete
authentication and individual identification. Please acknowledge we shall not be
liable for any loss or damage whatsoever resulting from the use of, or inability
to use your Fingerprint device.
The Fingerprint authentication method uses multiple fingerprints, encryption
keys, credentials data and passwords. You might not be able to use your data if
you lose fingerprints, keys, credentials and passwords. Back up the Fingerprint
authentication data in a safe place. For further information, refer to “Backup”.
