Scanning a Fingerprint

You can scan (also called enroll) a fingerprint using a workstation or from the EMC.

If you upgrade Simphony to version 2.9.1, you must deploy the Biometrics 5.0 CAL package, and then re-enroll fingers with an Oracle MICROS or DigitalPersona fingerprint reader. To re-enroll, attach an Oracle MICROS or DigitalPersona fingerprint reader to the workstation, scan an already enrolled finger to sign on to the workstation, and then click OK at the prompt to re-enroll.

  1. To scan (initially enroll) a fingerprint using a workstation:
    1. Sign on to the workstation as an employee with the proper role privileges, using an employee ID.
    2. Click the PMC button, and then click the Functions tab.
    3. Click the Edit Employee PIN function.
    4. Select the employee whose fingerprints need to be scanned.
    5. Click the Enroll Fingerprint button.
    6. Follow the prompts to enroll up to three fingers for one employee. Click Yes at the prompt to scan the same finger four times, or click No to return to the Select Employee dialog.
    7. Place the finger to scan on the fingerprint reader, and then remove it when the scan is complete. Each finger is scanned four times. The scanner flashes while scanning and remains lit after the scan is complete. Repeat this step for each finger.
  2. To scan (initially enroll) a fingerprint using the EMC:
    1. Select the Enterprise, property, or revenue center, click Configuration, and then click Employee Maintenance.
    2. Search for and select the employee record.
    3. On the General subtab, click the Fingerprint Enrollment button.
    4. Follow the prompts to enroll one or more fingerprints.
