INTRODUCTION TO FINGERPRINT READER

The fingerprint reader is designed to record time and attendance by using fingerprint, to replace
the conventional punch card as well as other card systems for Time & Attendance function. The
reader is capable of recognizing the recorded fingerprint templates in seconds and therefore, has
been successful in eliminating buddy-punching activity, one of the major problems in human resource
management.
The reader is able to store fingerprint templates from 1,500 for TA102 to 2,800 for TA103
depending on the series chosen. It is also able to record from 100,000 transactions with TA102 and
120,000 transactions with TA103, at any given time and those transactions can be downloaded and
cleared up using the management software. TA100 Series also offers TA103-R, fingerprint time &
attendance system with RFID card function.

 2 • USING THE FINGERPRINT READER

Fingerprint reader provides 3 types of enrollment method:

• Fingerprint Enrollment
User enrolls his fingerprint template into a reader and the template will be used for future verifica-
tions.
• Password Enrollment
For user who has difficulty to enroll his fingerprint due to poor fingerprint quality, he is recommend-
ed to enroll password. Password enrollment is also suitable for visitors and temporary workers.
• Fingerprint and Password Enrollment
Under this option, a user can enroll both fingerprint and password at the same time. The user can
either use fingerprint or password to report attendance or to gain access.

USING THE FINGERPRINT READER

This chapter will guide on how to use the reader
fingerprint reader effectively. To get a good read-
ing every time, a fingerprint enrollment for the first
time must be done properly.

What you should do
TIPS FOR BEST FINGERPRINT ENROLLMENT

There are 5 tips to get good fingerprint enrollment:

• Use INDEX finger
Place finger flat on the finger- Index finger is smaller than thumb and it can be comfortably placed
print sensor. Make sure the on the sensor. The use of thumb is not recommended because the
finger’s midpoint is placed at center points might not be placed properly on the sensor, hence
the center of the fingerprint cannot be read by the sensor due to its larger size.
sensor.
• Make sure the finger is not wet, too dry, injured or dirty
What you should NOT do 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 finger at the center of the
sensor
The center points of a finger is an area where there is a swirl and
UPRIGHT the center points must be properly placed on the sensor during en-
rollment.
• Don’t press hard at the sensor, just place your finger on the
sensor
The sensor is reading minutiae points of your finger and placing a
ASKEW 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 interfere

with the reading of the sensor. Avoid placing the reader under direct
sunlight or bright light to avoid difficulty in enrollment and future
verification.
