1.1 Basic Concepts
This section contains definitions and descriptions of the XD401’s features, including:
· User Enrollment
· User Verification
· Match Threshold Levels
· User ID Numbers
· Authority (Status) Levels
The two most important XD401’s Functions are User Enrollment and User Verification.
1.1.1 User Enrollment
•Enrollment is the process to create an ID number and scanning a user’s finger to create
atemplate three times. This template is associated with a user ID number and stored.
•During user verification, the stored template is compared to the current fingerprint scan
to confirm the user’s identity.
•Enrollment is performed at designated units. The user can verify on the time recorder
that enroll his fingerprint. The enrollment process takes approximately 2 seconds.
•Up to ten fingers can be enrolled for the same ID number, so the user may have more
verifications way.
•Ideally, everyone finger on each hand should be enrolled so that if the user injures the
enrolled finger had, an alternate finger template is available. While recording the finger
type is optional, it is recommended such as left or right index, so that at verification the
user is prompted as to which finger to use.
1.1.2 User Verification
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.
1.1.3 Match Threshold Levels
The Mach Threshold is a number that represents the degree to which the verification is
examined to ensure that the person is the person claimed.
The Match Threshold Levels establishes a balance between False Acceptance Rate (FAR)
and False Rejection Rate (FRR). FAR measures how often a non-authorized user is falsely
recognized and granted access to the system. FRR measures how often an enrolled and

p5
authorized user, who should be granted access to the system, is denied on the basis
that the system did not recognize him.
• You can set match threshold levels on a per-use basis. For the fingerprint verification
is difficult, you can adopt ID & Fingerprint verification (match one to one).
•Raising the threshold increases security, while lowering it increases throughout. The
correct balance is essential.
• For users with worn or damaged fingers, match threshold levels can (and should) be
reduced.
•Different sites have different requirements.
Table 1—1 Suggested Match Threshold Settings
1.1.4 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 each time that verification is
requested.ID numbers are normally called up via the keypad, but they can be called up
through other means such as RF Card.
1.1.5 Authority (status) Levels
XD401 has four authority or status levels:
•Users are people whose identity must be verified, such to gain access to a facility or
to have their attendance recorded.
•Enrollers are Users who are authorized to enroll new users or delete on to the
system.
•Managers can do other operations, except set advanced option and enroll manager’s
authority.
•Supervisors are Users who access to all functions and change all setup in the system.
Note: Without Manager and Supervisor status in the system, the Enroller will enroll
them. And if there isn’t a Supervisor in the system, the Manager will enroll him.

1Cleaning
From time to time, the optical platen, the keypad and display window require cleaning.
Since working environments differ, it is not possible to define when cleaning should be
performed.
Table 5-1 Cleaning Schedule
2. Cleaning the Keypad and Display
Toclean the keypad and display, use the same cleaning products as for the platen, and
wipe dry.
3Cleaning the Optical Platen
Clean the optical platen as follows:
•(1) If dusty or gritty, first blow on the platen to clean off any loose particles.
•(2) Spray on a light coating of a window cleaning product or other similar neutral
detergent. Warning: Do not use any other cleaner or the platen may become damaged.
•(3) Using a non-abrasive and lint-free cloth, pat dry. Be careful not to scratch the platen.
If lint particles adhere to the platen surface, blow them off when the platen is dry.
I t em C l ean i n g F r eq u en cy
Keypad and display window Cleaning when visibly dirty and hard to read. See cleaning the keypad and
display below.
Do not over clean. The platen is designed to work under greasy or dirty
conditions.
Optical platen
However, do clean if the platen is obstructed or people are reporting
deteriorating performance. See cleaning the Optical Platen below.
