How to configure Fingerprint Reader software

Fingerprint Reader driver, software, and tutorials

To set the security mode to Secure Mode:

1. Click Start, select Programs, select Access IBM, select Fingerprint Software, then click Control Center.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Security Mode.
4. Click the Secure mode option.
5. Click Finish.

The software should be configured to support multiple user logon via fingerprint authentication.

You can use the "Create new passport and enroll fingerprints" selection under the Fingerprints section to enroll each user. At log on, the software will read the user's print and automatically authenticate the appropriate user.

Note: Dry hands can lead to the reader not being able to detect a swipe. Additionally, excessive oils can lead to the "slow down" message even when you're swiping at a slow speed.

• Ensure your finger is at the same angle as it was during enrollment. Even moderate changes in finger angle during swipe can cause the "Match failed" error.
• Delete and recreate fingerprints.
• Run the Diagnostic in PC Doctor.
• Uninstall and reinstall software.
  
  

1. In the Fingerprint section of the Fingerprint software Control Center, complete the Enable Power on Security section.

Note: If you have enrolled more than one finger, the first time you use that finger to replace the Power on Password Security you will also be asked for your password.
