How to Place a Finger
ZkTeco’s fingerprint readers will give optimal results for fingerprint matching if the following recommendations and
suggestions are followed.
Select a finger to enroll
It is recommended to use an index finger or a middle finger.
Thumb, ring or little finger are relatively difficult to place in the correct position
How to place a finger on a sensor
Place a finger such that it completely covers the sensor area with maximum contact.
Place core of the fingerprint at the center of the sensor. The core of a fingerprint is a center where the spiral of ridges is
dense.
Usually core of fingerprint is the opposite side of the lower part of a nail.
Place a finger such that the bottom end of a nail is located at the center of a sensor.
If a finger is placed as shown in the right, only a small area of a finger is captured. So it is recommended to place a finger as
shown on the left.

How to Place a Finger
Tips for different fingerprint conditions
ZKTeco’s fingerprint products are designed to verify fingerprints with highest security irrespective of the
conditions of the skin of the finger. However, in case a fingerprint is not read on the sensor, please refer to the
followings tips.
•If a finger is stained with sweat or water, scan after wiping moisture off.
•If a finger is covered with dust or impurities, scan after wiping them off.
•If a finger is way too dry, please blow some warm air from your mouth on the finger tip.
Tips for fingerprint enrollment
In fingerprint recognition, enrollment process is very important. When enrolling a fingerprint, please try to place the
finger correctly with utmost care.
In case of low acceptance ratio, the following actions are recommended.
•Delete the enrolled fingerprint and re-enroll the finger.
•Enroll the same fingerprint again.
•Try another finger if a finger is not easy to enroll due to scar or cuts.
In case of an enrolled fingerprint cannot be used due to injury or if the hand is full, it is recommended to enroll more
than two fingers per user.

1. RS485 communication wires should be a shielded
or twisted pair cable. RS485 communication wires
should be connected in a bus cascade instead of a star
form, to achieve a better shielding effect by reducing
signal reflection during communications.
PC RS485 Connection
Important Notes Do’s and Dont’s for RS485 connection
3. Adjust the communication speed as needed , The
signal quality vary depending on wiring conditions,
and it maybe necessary to lower the baudrates.
4. The GND Signal may be omitted if and only if the
GND potential difference is less than ±5V

Important Notes
1.Steps to activate the master and salve functionality between
F18 and FR1200 is shown in the diagram on the left.
2. There are six DIP switches on the back of FR1200 , Switches
1-4 is for RS485 address , switch 5 is reserved , switch 6 is for
reducing noise on long RS485 cable.
3. If FR1200 is powered from F18 terminal ,the length of wire
should be less than 100 meters or 330 ft.
4. If the cable length is more than 200 meters or 600 ft. , the
number 6 switch should be ON as below
Distance
More than 200 meters
