Keep the finger on the sensor and hold it down until the
flashing green box below the fingerprint display is a solid
green. Lift the finger and replace it on the sensor. Repeat
this procedure until a message appears indicating that the
enrollment process is complete. For improved performance,
place the finger in slightly different locations on the sensor
for each of the enrollment placements to allow the software
to create a composite image of the finger.
Do not roll the finger as when taking an ink and paper image.
Keep the finger flat and motionless against the sensor during
the imaging process. After completing the required number
of captures, the Verify Fingerprint screen appears (Figure 9).
Figure 9. The Verify Fingerprint Screen
Place the finger on the sensor again. A message appears
indicating whether the fingerprint enrollment was successful.
Users may need to place their finger on the sensor several
times to determine if enrollment was successful.
If enrollment was successful, select Enroll Another Finger to
add additional fingerprints to the APC OmniPass database. If
enrollment was not successful, repeat the enrollment process
as needed.
Once enrollment is completed, select Finished Enrollment, then
select Done on the Registration screen. Log in to APC
OmniPass to use the software.
Figure 10. Login User Dialog Box with Fingerprint Window
If a fingerprint has been enrolled for a user, he or she can
log into APC OmniPass by placing a finger on the Biopod
device. The scrolling blue boxes indicate that APC OmniPass
is waiting for a fingerprint device to be pressed.
Once a finger is placed on the device, the fingerprint is
displayed in the window, and appears in green if recognized,
or red if not recognized.
Note: It may take a few tries to get the software to recognize
a fingerprint.
SCREENSAVER PASSWORD
If the Biopod is installed on a system that uses a screensaver
password, use a fingerprint to log back into Windows after
the screensaver starts. APC OmniPass adds a fingerprint
box to the screensaver password dialog box if it detects a
fingerprint sensor. Place the appropriate finger on the sensor
to log back in.
Figure 6. The Biopod Sensor and Drive Ring
Capture the full area of the fingerprint by placing the finger
flat on the Biopod, as shown in Figure 7. Do not place only
the fingertip on the sensor, as it contains insufficient image
data for a high-quality fingerprint.
Figure 7. Proper Finger Placement
From the Choose a Finger screen, select Next. The Capture
Fingerprint screen appears (Figure 8).
Figure 8. The Capture Fingerprint Screen
7. Place the finger on the Biopod for scanning. Use light, but
firm and steady pressure. Make sure that the finger makes
contact with the Biopod sensor and the surrounding drive
ring (Figure 6). APC OmniPass works best when it has an
image of the center of a fingerprint (core image).
LOGGING ON WITH THE BIOPOD
When a user logs on with the Biopod installed, a fingerprint
window is displayed with the
Login User dialog box (Figure 10).
