HandPunch 2000 Manual
37
Here are a few guidelines to help you prepare for an enrollment session.
•
You can enroll one person or a group of people during an enrollment session.
•
Each user must have a unique personal identification (ID) number. It will save you
considerable time if you assign the ID numbers in advance.
•
The HandPunch will not accept two people with the same ID number.
•
If you enroll people using the last four digits of their phone numbers or social security
numbers, you may get duplicate numbers.
•
If you are enrolling large groups of people you may consider using an enrollment
trainer. It is a replica of a platen that is available through your Schlage Biometrics
reseller.
The HandPunch is easy to use and non-threatening. However, most people have never
used a biometric HandPunch. Training users on how the HandPunch works and how to
use it will eliminate most fears and concerns before they occur. Inform the users of these
facts.
•
The HandPunch reads the shape of the hand, not the fingerprints or palmprints.
•
It does not identify people. It confirms people’s identity.
•
It scans with an invisible light of the type used in TV remote controls.
•
It does not transfer germs any more than a doorknob or money.
•
It does not invade privacy; it guarantees it.
•
The enrollment process requires three or more reads to collect enough information to
create a template.
For correct, consistent hand reads it is very important that your hand is placed on
the platen in the same manner every time. The following rules apply for proper hand
placement on the platen also refer to Figure 8-2 below.
•
If you are wearing a ring, rotate the ring so the stone faces up in its normal position.
•
Slide your right hand onto the platen rather like an airplane landing at the airport.
•
Slide your hand forward until the web between your index and middle finger stops
against the Web Pin.
•
Keep your hand flat. You should feel the surface of the platen on your palm and the
underside of your fingers.
•
Close your fingers together until they touch the Finger Pins and watch the hand
diagram light display on the top panel.
•
The lights go out when you have properly placed your fingers. If a light remains on, a
finger is not in proper contact with its Finger Pin.
