❖Error reading fingerprint—the finger was too far to the left or right. Center your finger and swipe it again.

❖Error reading fingerprint—the movement was skewed. Swipe your finger again in a straight line.

❖Error reading fingerprint—the movement was too fast. Swipe your finger again at a slower speed.

❖Error reading fingerprint—the movement was too short. Swipe your finger again using a longer motion.

Fingerprint Logon

The fingerprint utility enables logon to your computer using fingerprints. During user enrollment, fingerprint samples are saved and associated with the user’s Windows® user account. When the user attempts to log on again, the user’s fingerprint is read and compared with the user’s enrolled fingerprints; if the fingerprint is recognized, user logon is completed.

The Fast User Switching feature of the Windows® operating system is also supported. If user A is logged on and the fingerprint utility verifies the fingerprint of user B (who is already enrolled), the utility recognizes the fingerprint and switches the users.
