Enrollment Menu
Enrollment is the process of recording a hand image and associating it with an ID
number. The first person to enroll in the Hand Reader has access to all command
menus. This person should be considered the System Administrator and should retain
the highest authority level to access all five menus at any time

. As other users are
enrolled they can be left as basic access users or they can be assigned varying degrees
of authority depending upon the tasks for which they will be responsible.
Advance planning and training make enrollment fast and easy. Users should be
informed on what to expect and how to place their hands on the Hand Reader before
you enroll them.
Preparation
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 Hand Reader 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 plan to use the Duress function, do not enroll ID numbers that begin with the
Duress code digit

.
•
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 Recognition
Systems dealer.
User Education
The Hand Reader is easy to use and non-threatening. However, most people have
never used a biometric Hand Reader. Training users on how the Hand Reader works
and how to use it will eliminate most fears and concerns before they occur. Inform the
users of these facts.
•
The Hand Reader 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 verify the user’s identity.
1. Refer to the Set User Data > Set Authority Level command in the Security command menu on
page 44.
2. Refer to the Design an ID Numbering System section on page 40.
3. Refer to the Set Duress Code command in the Setup command menu on page 113.
