 Glossary

 Administrator
 A special user who are authorized to manage the settings and user information of a device.
Administrators can enroll or delete users and change settings of the device.
 1:1 Mode
 In 1:1 mode, a user should enter his/her user ID first. After then, the user is requested to place a
finger or enter a PIN. In this mode, user’s scanned fingerprint is matched against only one
fingerprint specified by the user ID.
 1:N Mode
 In 1:N mode, a user places his/her finger without entering any ID. Then the device compares the
user’s scanned fingerprint with the whole enrolled fingerprints in its internal database.
 Fingerprint Enrollment
 A process of extracting features of a fingerprint image obtained from a fingerprint sensor and
saving them into the internal memory of a device. The fingerprint data is called a fingerprint
template.

 Basics of fingerprint recognition

 What is fingerprint recognition?

 Fingerprint is an individual’s own biometric information and does not change throughout his/her life.
Fingerprint recognition is a technology that verifies or identifies an individual using such fingerprint
information.
 Free from the risk of theft or loss, fingerprint recognition technology is being widely used in security
systems replacing PIN or cards.
 Process of fingerprint recognition
 Fingerprint consists of ridges and valleys. Ridge is a flow of protruding skin in a fingerprint while
valley is a hollow between two ridges. Each individual has different pattern of ridges and valleys
and finger recognition makes use of such originality and uniqueness of these patterns.
 Fingerprint sensor generates 2-dimentional fingerprint image using different technology. According
to the sensing technology, fingerprint sensors are classified into optical, capacitive, or thermal.
 Fingerprint template is a collection of numeric data representing the features of a fingerprint.
Fingerprint templates are saved inside the memory of BioStation and used for identification.
 Secure way to protect personal information
 To avoid privacy concern, Suprema’s fingerprint products do not save fingerprint images itself. It is
impossible to reconstruct a fingerprint image from a fingerprint template which is just numeric data
of the features of a fingerprint.

 How to place a finger

Suprema’s fingerprint products show an outstanding recognition performance regardless of the user’s fingerprint
skin condition or the way of fingerprint positioning. However, following tips are recommended to get more optimal
fingerprint recognition performance.

 Select a finger to enroll

 It is recommended to use an index finger or a middle finger.
 Thumb, ring or little finger is relatively more difficult to place in a correct position.

 How to place a finger on a sensor

 Place a finger such that it completely covers the sensor area with maximum contact.
 Place core part of a fingerprint to the center of a sensor.
 People tend to place upper part of a finger.
 The core of a fingerprint is a center where the spiral of ridges is dense.
 Usually core of fingerprint is the opposite side of the lower part of a nail.
 Place a finger such that the bottom end of a nail is located at the center of a sensor.
 If a finger is placed as in the right picture, only a small area of a finger is captured. So it is
recommended to place a finger as shown in the left picture.

 How to place a finger

 Tips for different fingerprint conditions

 Suprema’s fingerprint products are designed to scan fingerprint smoothly regardless of the
conditions of a finger skin. However, in case a fingerprint is not read well on the sensor, please
refer to the followings tips.
 If a finger is stained with sweat or water, scan after wiping moisture off.
 If a finger is covered with dust or impurities, scan after wiping them off.
 If a finger is way too dry, place after blowing warm breath on the finger tip.
 Tips for fingerprint enrollment
 In fingerprint recognition, enrollment process is very important. When enrolling a fingerprint, please
try to place a finger correctly with care.
 In case of low acceptance ratio, the following actions are recommended.
 Delete the enrolled fingerprint and re-enroll the finger.
 Enroll the same fingerprint additionally.
 Try another finger if a finger is not easy to enroll due to scar or worn-out.
 For the case when an enrolled fingerprint cannot be used due to injury or holding a baggage, it is
recommended to enroll more than two fingers per user.

emergency call or alarm.
 If you select Last Finger on the duress menu, the last fingerprint
enrolled is assigned as a duress finger. For example, if you enroll
three fingers and select Last Finger for duress, the first and second
fingers are enrolled as normal fingers and the third finger as a
duress finger.
 To use duress finger, more than two fingerprints should be enrolled,
ie., Finger No. should be more than 2.
 Duress finger should be different from normal finger enrolled in
