Fingerprint Scanning

This section describes fingerprint scanning. Fingerprint scanning provides greater security by verifying an employee’s identify. You can use an external USB fingerprint reader with the following devices to scan fingerprints:

• Oracle MICROS Tablet E-Series

• Oracle MICROS Workstation 6 Series

• Oracle MICROS Workstation 5a

• Oracle MICROS PC Workstation 2015

• A PC running a Simphony version 2.x client that is attached to the PC with a USB connection

You can require employees to scan fingerprints when performing the following operations:

• Signing in to a workstation

• Clocking in and out

• Authorizing privileged operations

Privileged employees can perform the following actions:

• Enroll themselves and other employees’ fingerprints in Simphony

• Register up to ten different fingers (in the event that employee digits become incapacitated (cut, removed, or bandaged))

Auditors can determine whether an employee performed an authorization using a fingerprint reader, manual entry, or magnetic card swipe.
