The two most important functions of fingerprint identification are
user enrollment and user verification.
User Enrollment: Fingerprints
Enrollment is the process of capturing a user’s fingerprint and
storing it as a “template” in the TQ600 along with a unique five (5)
digit user ID. The user’s fingerprint template is created by taking
three sample fingerprints on the TQ600.
Each user should enroll at least two different fingers so that if an
enrolled finger is injured an alternate finger can be used. The
TQ600 allows users to enroll 1-10 fingerprints.
