Fingerprint Recognition Best Practices

Optimizing Fingerprint Recognition

The software uses an advanced mathematical algorithm to match the user registered to a finger print. It can identify one print out of thousands of saved prints very accurately.

What you can do to ensure a match

Choose the best finger to touch the fingerprint sensor pad to ensure the best possible matching.

Best finger to use

  • Clean finger
  • Fingers used less frequently in daily activities usually have deep ridges that show up as sharp images
  • Non dominant hand (left for most people)

Fingerprint Reader

  • Use a quality fingerprint reader with a high resolution camera for high detail print images
  • Sensor pad should be free of dirt to enable a clear picture of the print

Fingerprint Enrollment

It is important to save a high quality enrollment image for each finger to make identification fastest during use

  • Center finger tip on the sensor pad
  • Press firmly
  • Image should look sharp and clear
  • Touch the fingerprint sensor 4 times to save 4 images of each finger
  • Enroll several fingers per user as a backup in case one of their fingers becomes dirty or scratched

Fingerprint Recognition Match to Clock In

  • Center finger tip on the sensor pad
  • Press firmly
  • Try to reproduce the print image as close as possible to the saved enrollment image
  • Image should look sharp and clear

Following these guidelines will produce the best fingerprint matching results.
