APC Omnipassadds a fingerprint box to the screensaver password dialogbox if it detects a Biometric sensor. Place the appropriatefinger on the sensor to log in.Place the finger on the BioM34 sensor and drive ring(Figure 18) for scanning. Use light, but firm and steadypressure. Ensure the finger makes contact with theBioM34 sensor and the surrounding drive ring. APCOmniPass works best when it has an image of the centerof a fingerprint (core image).Capture the full area of the fingerprint by placing thefinger flat on the BioM34 sensor. Do not place only thefingertip on the sensor, as it contains insufficient imagedata for a high-quality fingerprint.TROUBLESHOOTINGWindows 2000 and Windows XP users may experience aproblem adding a Windows user to the APC OmniPassdatabase.
