How to enroll a fingerprint correctly
In order to improve the fingerprint authentication rate, enroll the fingerprint correctly. BioStation L2 can recognize a fingerprint even if the
angle and position of a user's fingerprint input change. If you enroll a fingerprint with attention to the following matters, the authentication
rate can be improved.
Selecting a finger for fingerprint input
•In preparation for a situation in which the fingerprint of a specific finger cannot be used, for
example if the user is lifting a load with one hand or a finger gets hurt, up to 10 fingerprints for
each user can be enrolled.
•In the case of a user whose fingerprint cannot be recognized well, the authentication rate can be
improved by enrolling the same finger twice repeatedly.
•If a finger has a cut or the fingerprint is blurry, select another finger for the fingerprint.
•It is recommended to use the index finger or the middle finger when scanning the fingerprint. The
authentication rate can be reduced if it is difficult to place another finger at the center of
fingerprint sensor accurately.
Fingerprint enroll method
1
When a message saying “Place your finger on the sensor.” is displayed on the LCD screen for enrolling the fingerprint, place the finger
with the fingerprint you wish to enroll on the fingerprint authentication unit and press the finger gently for better authentication.
2
When the re-input screen is displayed after a beep sound, scan the fingerprint of the enrolled finger again (scan the fingerprint of a
finger to be enrolled twice).
Cautions for enrolling a fingerprint
When a fingerprint is recognized, it is compared with the initially registered fingerprint, so the initial fingerprint enroll is the most important. Pay
attention to the following matters when enrolling the fingerprint.
•Place the finger deep enough to contact with the sensor completely.
•Place the center of the fingerprint in the center of the sensor.
•If a finger has a cut or the fingerprint is blurry, select another finger for the fingerprint.
•Scan the fingerprint correctly without moving according to the instruction on the screen.
•If you make the finger upright so that the contact area with the sensor is decreased or the angle of finger is warped, fingerprint authentication may
not be performed.
When the fingerprint recognition fails
BioStation L2 can recognize a fingerprint regardless of a change in season or finger condition. However, the authentication rate may vary according to
the external environment or fingerprint input method.
If the fingerprint authentication cannot be done smoothly, it is recommended to take the following measures.
•If the finger is smeared with water or sweat, dry off the finger and then scan the finger.
•If the finger is too dry, blow your breath on the fingertips and then scan the finger.
•If the finger has a cut, register the fingerprint of another finger.
•The initially enrolled fingerprint often may have not been scanned correctly, so enroll the fingerprint again according to ‘Cautions for enrolling a
fingerprint’.
