Fingerprint Settings

You can change the settings for fingerprint authentication.

1. Press and authenticate with the administrator credential.

2. Select AUTHENTICATION → Fingerprint and then press OK.

   

3. Select the desired item and press / to change the settings.

   • Security Level: You can set the security level for 1:N authentication.

   • Matching Timeout: Set the wait time for fingerprint matching. If authentication is not completed within the set time, it fails.

   • View Image: View the raw image when scanning a fingerprint.

   • Sensor Sensitivity: Set the fingerprint sensor sensitivity. 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.

   • 1:N Fast Mode: Set the fingerprint authentication performance. When you select Auto, authentication speed is set according to the total number of fingerprint templates enrolled in the device.

   • Template Format: Set the fingerprint template format. The default is SUPREMA. Changing the template format blocks the use of all previously stored fingerprints, so proceed with caution.

     Info

     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. Set to Always On to keep the sensor always on, even when not scanning fingerprints.

   • Advanced Enrollment: Inspect the quality of the scanned fingerprint to save high-quality fingerprint data. When enabled, the device notifies the user if the fingerprint quality is low, helping them scan correctly.

   • Duplicate Check: Check for duplicate fingerprints during enrollment.

4. Press OK to save the settings.
