Scanning employee fingerprints can be a basic and intuitive process; however, a few tips used while scanning prints can improve results for worn, damaged, and problematic fingerprints. See below for useful tips:


Step 1: Choose the finger you will use each day to punch in/out. 

Tip # 1: Choose a finger that appears to have the least "wear and tear" or imperfections. 

Step 2: Place your finger "properly" on the sensor pad

Tip #1: Timing - The fingerprint sensor will scan the fingerprint instantly (within milliseconds) as the finger touches the sensor pad. To obtain a successful scan, your print should be properly positioned and sufficiently flattened on the sensor, during the first "split-second" of the scan. 
Tip #2: Print Scan - For best results, find the "whorl," "loop," or "arch" of your fingerprint and place it in the center of the sensor pad (see back of this page for more details.) 
Tip #3: Align Your Finger - Most employees will get the best results by positioning the finger with the first knuckle crease or joint aligned with the front edge of the sensor pad (see images below). 

Tip # 4: Steady Your Finger- Use the front edge of the sensor pad to steady your finger BEFORE placing your print on the sensor. Remember to properly align your first knuckle. 
Step 2 continued: Placing your finger properly on the sensor.
Tip #5: Press Finger - With your first knuckle crease or joint against the front edge of the sensor, swiftly press your finger on the sensor pad and press firmly 
enough to flatten your print. (The print will be scanned the moment your finger touches the sensor!) 



PROBLEMS REGISTERING EMPLOYEE PUNCHES
If you experience some difficulty successfully scanning an employee fingerprint, consider the following for improving scanning results. 

Tip #1: Providing a Unique Fingerprint - Be certain to place the "unique" portion of the fingerprint in the center of the sensor pad.

Tip #2: Dry Fingerprints - Overly dry fingerprints can be more difficult for the clock to accurately scan. Try placing a small amount of hand sanitizer or moisture on the finger to improve scanning results. 

Tip #3: Pressure - Change the amount of finger pressure applied to the sensor pad. The optimal pressure will be firm enough to flatten the employee's print and expose the whorl, loop, or arch. By applying more or less pressure, scanning results can improve. 

Tip #4: Timing - Remember, the scan takes place in the first "micro-second" that the print touches the sensor. Be certain to promptly place the finger in the proper position for an accurate read. 

Tip #5: Try Another Finger - An employee may use any finger to record a punch. Try another finger if the first is not successful.
