III. OPERATION GUIDE
1. MAGNETIC STRIPE READER
For magnetic stripe card reading, please insert the card to the bottom and magnetic stripe
facing the marked aside of slot. Even though the card movement can be two-way of the slot,
the reading process should be passing through a whole slot vertically. A non-standard card
recorded without complete degaussing prior to recovery may accept only one direction in card
reading.
The MSR in SD-560/566 reads the ISO or JIS magnetic stripe card without driver. Yet, there is
a “Posiflex USB MSR Manager” program provided to control some parameter configuration
for ISO MSR. The controllable features in this program covered: each track enable/disable,
Alt+Num approach for ASCII codes and Leading/Stop code enable/disable. The function for
enabling each track comes in effect only when the track is physically available. Please find in
the Product Information CD delivered with KS system “\Drivers\SD_Series\USBMSR_xxx”
and “Set Up” this manager program or download the installation program from our official
website http://www.posiflex.com or http://www.posiflex.com.tw.
2. FINGER PRINT SENSOR
A. Cautions
1. Never pour the glass cleaner directly on the sensor window
2. Never use alcohol-based cleaners and submerge the sensor in liquid
3. Never rub the window with an abrasive material, including paper
4. Do not poke the window coating with your fingernail or any hard item, such as a pen.
B. Principle
The software of finger print sensor never stores fingerprint images. This software creates a
fingerprint template, which is highly compressed and digitally encoded accurate representation
of fingerprint features. The template is created when a user registers a finger and is stored in an
encrypted file. Once user touches the fingerprint reader to authenticate later, a new template is
created and compared to the “registered” template.
C. Finger Print Recognition
With the purpose of acquiring a clear finger image; please position your finger on the pad
gently and not only the tip in the center of the sensor window. Do not “roll” your finger and
Please notice that it will distort your fingerprint if pressing too hard or light will not expose a
large enough area of your finger. In addition, please make sure to hold your finger on the
sensor until you see the sensor light blink; this may take a short period. After that, lift your
finger and the process of building your finger image is finished. It is suggested to use your
index finger of either hand. If the sensor is capturing your finger image as indicated by the
sensor blink and you have tried all the above suggestions, you may need to reregister your
finger again.
D. Sensor Activation
After the sensor is enabled, the sensor blinks in blue to detect with finger presence. If you
enable your terminal’s power-saving function but your third party application does not support
this, then your fingerprint sensor will enter “sleep mode” even though your workstation does
not.
If this occurs, you will need to reboot the system. Please check with your application
developer for compatibility.
E. Cleaning the Sensor
Depending on the available amount, the sensor window may need to clean
periodically. To clean it, apply the sticky side of a piece of adhesive
cellophane tape on the window and peel it away as in the drawing at right.
Under heavy usage, the window coating on some sensors may turn cloudy from the salt in
perspiration. Gently wipe the window with a cloth (not paper) dampened with a mild
ammonia-based glass cleaner.
