Operation

General note:

 The reader should only be placed on flat surfaces (e.g. level table surface).

 Ensure that there are no kinks in the cable conduit.

 The reader should be placed outside magnetic fields to avoid electromagnetic disturbance in the

reader unit.

 For a better usage the user is advised to touch the grey metal area around the sensor first before

putting down the finger onto the sensor surface. Otherwise the sensor surface could get some

damaged image pints (pixels) due to strong electrostatic discharge. But this will not affect the

normal function and verification.

User guidance

The status LED is activated by the application. If activation takes place in accordance with the

"Application Developer Guide", the reader status is displayed as follows. Deviations may therefore

occur in the status LED display.

The different reader status are displayed as follows:

1. Green LED lit constantly (Status: Ready)

If the LED (see arrow) is lit up green, the reader is ready for use. The fingerprint reader is in standby

and the reading process can be activated via the superordinate application.

The customer can now place his finger on the device for fingerprint reading to be carried out.

2. Green LED flashes (Status: Reading)

A flashing green LED signalises that reading is in progress. The fingerprint reader is currently reading

the fingerprint data. The fingerprint data of the user is being processed by the superordinate application.

While the LED is flashing, the user must hold his finger steadily on the reader device to guarantee the

best possible reading of the fingerprint data.

_____

_____________________________________________________________________________________

3. Green LED lit constantly (Status: OK)

If the LED lights up green after the reading process is complete, the fingerprint data of the user has

been read successfully and processed successfully by the superordinate application.

The user can now remove his finger from the device.

4. Red LED lit constantly (Status: Sensor error)

If the LED lights up red, a sensor error has occurred. The reader can no longer be initialized by the

superordinate application and fingerprint data cannot be read.

Contact technical support.

_____

_____________________________________________________________________________________

5. Red LED flashes (Status: Reading error – finger not recognized)

A flashing red LED signalises a reading error. The fingerprint of the user could not be read correctly or

could not be processed properly by the superordinate application. The reading process (process steps

from 1. Green LED lit constantly (Status ready) is started again.

Possible error causes include:

 The user has placed a finger on the device which was not saved during registration

 The user removed their finger from the sensor too soon

 The sensor is heavily soiled

 The finger is soiled/injured

Manual installation of the driver

These instructions provide a summary of the installation of device drivers which are connected to the

USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface of your PC.

System requirements

 Ensure that your PC is equipped with one of the operating systems listed, as well as all listed

hardware components.

o Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows XP embedded, WePOS

o Free USB interface

B interface symbol

o CD drive or Internet connection

Preparing installation

Status check for the USB interface

To be able to communicate with a device via the USB interface, the USB interface must be registered

as active in the system control of your PC.

 In the Start menu, click on the menu item Control panel.

The Control panel window will appear

 Double click on System.

The System properties dialogue window opens.

 Select the Hardware and click on Device manager.

 In the list of hardware components, select Universal Serial Bus Controller.

If a symbol is crossed out with an X, the corresponding hardware component is

deactivated. An exclamation mark in a circle means that there is a problem with the

hardware component. The type of problem is shown in the Properties dialogue

window for the relevant hardware components.

 Click on the plus sign next to the hardware component.

If two hardware components (e.g. Intel 82371AB/EBPCI/USB Universal Host Controller; USB

main hub) are listed in this category, the USB interface is activated.
