Instrukcja obsługi
1. Ułożenie palca
For optimal performance, place your finger flat on the sensor platen, ensuring the entire pad of your finger covers the surface. Apply gentle, consistent pressure.
2. Enrollment Process
The enrollment process typically involves registering your fingerprints with a specific software application. Follow the instructions provided by your chosen application (e.g., Windows Hello, third-party biometric software) to enroll your fingerprints. This usually involves scanning the same finger multiple times from different angles.
3. Authentication/Verification
When prompted by an application for fingerprint authentication, place your enrolled finger on the sensor. The device will capture your fingerprint and the software will verify it against the stored template.
Ważna uwaga:
The performance of automatic finger detection and self-adjusting scanning technologies is dependent on the application used. These features are fully realized when the device is used with applications built with SecuGen's algorithms.
