Howtoplaceafinger
■Select a finger to enroll
(1) It is recommended to use an index finger or a middle finger.
(2) Thumb, ring or little finger is relatively more difficult to place in a
correct position.
■How to place a finger on a sensor
(1) Place a finger as it completely covers the sensor with maximum
contact.
(2) It is better to place the core part of a fingerprint to the center of
a sensor.
zPeople usually tend to place only the top end of a finger
zWhere is the core (center) of a fingerprint?
A peak where spirals of fingerprint ridges are dense
Usually opposite to lower part of a nail
It is recommended to place a finger as the lower part
of a nail is located at the center of a sensor
(3) If a finger is placed as in the right picture, only a small area of a
finger is captured. So it is recommended to place a finger as in the
left picture.
RightWrong
■Tips for different finger conditions
Suprema’s fingerprint products are designed to scan fingerprint
smoothly regardless of the conditions of a finger skin. However, if a
fingerprint is difficult to scan due to other influences, please refer to
the followings tips.
(1) If a finger is stained with sweat or water, scan after wiping
moisture off.
(2) If a finger is covered with dust or impurities, scan after wiping
them off.
(3) If a finger is way too dry, scan after blowing warm breath on a
fingertip.

■Advices on fingerprint enrollment
(1) In fingerprint recognition, enrollment process is very important.
Therefore, when enrolling a fingerprint, please try to place a finger
correctly with care.
(2) In case of low acceptance ratio, the following actions are
recommended.
zDelete enrolled fingerprints and re-enroll the fingers.
zEnroll the same finger additionally
zTry with another finger if a finger is not easy to enroll due
to scar or worn-out.
(3) For the case when an enrolled fingerprint can’t be used due to
scar or holding a baggage, it is recommended to enroll more than
two fingers.
