   • Sensor Sensitivity: Set the sensitivity of the fingerprint recognition sensor. Set the sensitivity higher to obtain precise fingerprint information.

   • Live Finger Detection: Set the fake fingerprint detection level. Higher levels for fake fingerprint detection may also increase rejection rates for actual people’s fingerprints.

     Delete all user fingerprint information and then change the template format. If user fingerprint information is enrolled, you cannot change the template format.

   • Sensor Mode: Set to Auto On to turn on the fingerprint sensor when it detects the user’s finger. When set to Always On, the sensor remains on even when not scanning fingerprints.

   • Advanced Enrollment: Assess the quality of scanned fingerprints to save high-quality fingerprint information. Enable to notify the user when fingerprint quality is low, helping them scan fingerprints correctly.

   • Duplicate Check: Check for duplicate fingerprints when enrolling.
