8 Fingerprint Authentication Function
0.
Fingerprint Authentication Function
This function is for logging into the equipment by identifying a user using a connected fingerprint reader.
When a fingerprint is registered, its image scanned by a fingerprint reader is converted into a fingerprint template and
is stored in an internal storage device of the equipment. When fingerprint authentication is performed, a fingerprint
image scanned by a fingerprint reader is converted into a fingerprint template in the memory of the equipment. The
fingerprint template is collated with the registered fingerprint database beforehand. When the fingerprint matches,
the user can log into the equipment.

To use the fingerprint authentication function, the installation of a fingerprint reader in an equipment is required.
For details, contact your service representative.

Do not disconnect the USB cable connecting the fingerprint reader and the equipment while fingerprint
authentication or its setting is being performed. Data may be corrupted.

A fingerprint image scanned by a fingerprint reader is converted into a fingerprint template in the memory of the
equipment, but not is stored in it. Personal information related to a fingerprint will not be leaked from a scanned
fingerprint image.

If a fingerprint having rarely similar characteristics has already been registered, authentication may fail or another
user may be identified. Therefore, this fingerprint authentication does not guarantee the complete identification
and collation of the person. Moreover, if there is very little characteristic information for a fingerprint, user
identification may be rejected, causing authentication to fail even though the user is the actual person registered
for the operation. Toshiba Tec Corporation will not be responsible for any damages caused by an authentication
failure and the use by a third person.

This function is not available in some regions.
Hamster Pro, Hamster Pro10 or Hamster Pro20 by SecuGen is recommended for a fingerprint reader. For details on
how to use the fingerprint reader and scan a fingerprint, read its manuals and use it properly in accordance with the
description.


1 to 1 Authentication
This is the method to specify the user registered in the equipment with pinpoint accuracy at the shortest period. Enter
the user name in the authentication screen displayed on the touch panel and place the user’s finger on a fingerprint
reader.

1 to N / Filter Authentication
This is the method to specify the user by collating the ones in the fingerprint database in the equipment. Place the
finger on a fingerprint reader without entering the user name in the authentication screen displayed on the touch
panel.
In addition, the authentication period can be shortened by narrowing the users in the fingerprint database by entering
the first letter of the user name.
For the 1 to N / Filter authentication, it is recommended to run it by registering up to 100 users.
