Using the Motion Fingerprint Reader and Omnipass:
Following the instructions, you get two fingers registered, each with three swipes. This doesn’t allow for good recognition and leads directly to “frustrated user syndrome”. By taking some extra time and programming additional impressions of your finger, you should get 98% first swipe accuracy.
Here are the steps (after you have “enrolled” the first finger):
Open up the OmniPass software to the main menu (says Add/Remove User).
Choose the User Settings tab
From the User Settings menu on the left, choose Enrollment
From the Enrollment main menu, choose Enroll Authentication Device
- You will have to swipe your finger or enter your password to continue
You should see a picture of two hands. If a finger already has a green check above it, then it has already been enrolled.
Click on a finger which has NOT yet been enrolled. A red arrow will point to the finger. Click Next.
IMPORTANT: Swipe the SAME FINGER that you originally enrolled. Why? Well, after we repeat these steps for 8 fingers, you will have 24 impressions of your swiping finger, instead of just three. You can use the other two fingers to create 6 impressions of another digit (in case you cut one off chopping onions or something).
When you are creating the additional impressions, swipe your finger at various angles. This gives additional options for the Omnipass software when it is recognizing your fingerprint.
BTW, I can’t take credit for this idea – I’m pretty sure someone else on the Buzz already suggested it. I’m just listing the instructions to make it easier for the next guy or gal.
Have fun and good swiping!
