Proper Hand Placement
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.
•
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.

Left Hand Enrollment
Some right hands are not suitable for use in the Hand Reader due to disabilities such as
missing fingers. You can enroll a user with the left hand facing palm side up. The
techniques for left hand enrollment are the same as for standard enrollment. The user
should keep the back of the hand flat against the platen and move the fingers against
the web pin and the finger pins in the same manner as in standard enrollment. Users
enrolled with the left hand must always verify with the left hand. Extra practice on
placing the hand on the platen may be required to ensure correct, consistent hand
reads.
