TIPS FOR BEST FINGERPRINT ENROLLMENT
There are 5 tips to get good fingerprint enrollment:
• Use INDEX fi nger
Index finger is smaller than thumb and it can be comfortably
placed on the sensor. The use of thumb is not recommended
because the center points might not be placed properly on the
sensor, hence cannot be read by the sensor due to its larger
size.
• Make sure the fi nger is not wet, too dry, injured or dirty
The finger needs to be slightly moist to enable the sensor to
read the minutiae points on the fingerprint.
• Place the center points of your fi nger at the center of the
sensor
The center points of a finger is an area where there is a swirl
and the center points must be properly placed on the sensor
during enrollment.
• Don’t press hard at the sensor, just place your fi nger on the
sensor
The sensor is reading minutiae points of your finger and placing
a finger properly on the sensor will prompt the sensor to read
those points. Pressing your finger hard on the sensor is not
necessary.
• Don’t do enrollment under bright light or direct sunlight
It is important to note that bright light or sunlight could inter-
fere with the reading of the sensor. Avoid placing the reader
under direct sunlight or bright light to avoid difficulty in enroll-
ment and future verification.
