III –Fingerprint Recognition Technology
Prior to operating the S900, it is essential to understand how
fingerprint recognition technology works.
Adding and verifying fingerprints
are the core functions of the S900.
Once you acquire a thorough understanding of fingerprint
recognition technology, you will find your experience with the S900
to be very productive and rewarding.
How Fingerprint Recognition Technology Works
When the user places his/her finger on a Fingerprint Recognition Device
(i.e. S900) for the first time, the fingerprint is scanned and converted
into a computer-generated “biometric template.” The templates are only
recognized by each respective biometric manufacturer’s device.
However, these “templates” are NOT actual fingerprint images. “Real”
fingerprint images cannot be re-generated from these templates.
