Using the Fingerprint Sensor

This product has a fingerprint utility installed for the purpose of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints. By enrolling the ID and password onto the fingerprint authentication feature, it is no longer necessary to input the password from the keyboard. Fingerprint feature enables you to:

■Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through IE (Internet Explorer).

■Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to them prevented.

■Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from power-saving (e.g. standby) mode.

■Authentication of the User Password (and, if applicable, HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Password) when booting up the computer.(Power-on Security)

■Single Sign-on feature

Fingerprint cannot be used in models that do not have a fingerprint module installed.
