FPT-40 Installation & Operation Guide  Page 3-13 
Each time an employee punches at the FPT-40 Fingerprint terminal, 
their finger template (map) will automatically be updated in the employee 
database with the most recent template from the terminal. This feature is 
for maintaining accurate fingerprint templates. However, if the employee 
does not exist in the employee database, then a message will be 
displayed in the message window at the bottom of the tab. 
Once an employee is added to the Employee database, their template 
will not automatically be uploaded unless the employee is removed and 
re-enrolled at the terminal, or a punch is received from the terminal. 
Once this is done, however, the employee’s template will be saved and 
an assignment will automatically be created. 
  Send Maps: Press the 
 button to send user(s) biometric 
map(s) from the employee database in Time Guardian to the 
selected terminals. Only employees assigned to terminals will be 
sent. Employees are assigned to terminals from the Assignments 
tab, or by polling. Because the “Send Maps” operation consists of 
first clearing all templates from the terminal and then loading 
assigned employee templates. 
  Receive Maps: Press the 
 button to receive employee 
templates from the selected terminal(s) to the Time Guardian 
database. Only templates assigned to the selected terminals will be 
uploaded to TG. Employees are manually assigned to the terminals 
in the Assignments tab. 
  Clear Maps: Press the 
 button to clear (delete) all assigned 
employee templates from the terminal. Because the Clear Maps 
operation consists of clearing all templates from the terminal, a 
confirmation dialog box will appear before this command executes. 
Caution!  This command can be used to clear [reset] the terminal 
if an Administrator has been setup and the password is 
lost, etc. Access at the terminal to the menu options, 
etc. maybe denied unless it is an Administrator.
