Chapter 5. Working with Lenovo Fingerprint Software
The fingerprint console must be run from the Lenovo Fingerprint Software installation folder. The basic
syntax is FPRCONSOLE [USER | SETTINGS]. The USER or SETTINGS command specifies what set of
operation will be used. The full command is “fprconsole user add TestUser”. When the command is not
known or not all parameters are specified, the short command list is shown together with the parameters.
The Lenovo Fingerprint Software, installation instructions, management console and all related
documentation are available on the Lenovo Web site at:

Lenovo Fingerprint Software service
Note: The Lenovo Fingerprint Software requires the terminal service on the system. If you turn off the
terminal service, some unexpected results might occur in the Lenovo Fingerprint Software.
The following services are added to the system after the Lenovo Fingerprint Software is installed:
• ATService.exe (on by default)
You must turn on the ATService.exe service to use the fingerprint system. This service manages requests
from applications using the fingerprint sensor.
• Data Transfer Service (on by default)
When Data Transfer Service or the ATService.exe service is abnormally terminated, Lenovo Fingeprint
Software will not work as expected.
• ADMonitor.exe (off by default)
You must turn on the ADMonitor.exe service to support Active Directory Administration. This service
monitors the registry for changes propagated down from Active Directory and reflects the changes locally.
