I. Considerations
A. Time and Attendance Software
The A10/X628 runs PayPunch time and attendance software in addition to numerous 3 rd party time and attendance software applications. We strongly recommend that you consult with your local Xpress Software office to determine which time and attendance software application is suitable for your specific needs. ( www.paypunch.com
)
B. Environmental Factors
In order for your A10/X628 to function properly, it must be installed in an adequate, environmental location. There are certain environmental factors that need to be taken into consideration.
Primarily, the A10/X628 was designed for indoor usage. We strongly recommend not installing or operating your A10/X628 in areas where bright light is present. Bright light will cause deficiencies in the sensor’s ability to accurately read fingerprints. However, if you need to install your
A10/X628 outdoors, you can protect it with an all-weather protective covering. These outdoor enclosures are manufactured by STI USA and can be purchased by going their website as directed. ( www.sti-usa.com
)
The proper functioning temperature range to use your A10/X628 in is 0° to
40° C (32° to 105° F). Usage of your A10/X628 in hot environments can cause your A10/X628 to overheat. Therefore, placing it in environments where there is adequate air ventilation can inhibit overheating.
II. Abbreviate Operating Procedures
Below is a brief overview on setting up your A10/X628. We recommend that you follow these steps.
STEP 1
Install your A10/X628 and power it up.
STEP 2
Enroll users by registering their fingerprint(s) or password.
STEP 3
After enrolling users, ensure the A10/X628 recognizes their enrolled fingerprint(s) and/or password. Verifying this information is important.
STEP 4
Configure the A10/X628 communication settings and download the user’s newly enrolled fingerprint(s) from the A10/X628 onto the computer. This data can be transmitted via TCP/IP.
Note: It is imperative to create backup fingerprint templates and save them onto a computer or a USB flash drive. If the A10/X628 was vandalized or malfunctions, having these backup templates eliminates the re-enrollment process of users.
STEP 5
Verify that the A10/X628 displays the correct date and time.
III. Introducing Fingerprint(s)
Recognition Technology
Prior to using your A10/X628, it is essential to understand how fingerprint recognition technology works. Once a thorough understanding of fingerprint recognition technology is attained, your experience with your
A10/X628 will be enjoyable.
A. How F.R.T. Works
Adding and verifying fingerprints is a vital function of the A10/X628 but only equates to a small fraction of the A10/X628 capabilities.
When a user places their finger on a fingerprint recognition device for the first time (ie A10/X628), the fingerprint is scanned and converted into a computer generated biometric template. Each individual template can only be recognized by its respective manufactured biometric device. This is due to each fingerprint containing a distinctive amount of unique physical characteristics called minutiae. Minutia includes definite visible aspects of fingerprint(s)s such as ridges, ridge endings and bifurcation (forking) of
ridges. Most minutiae are found in the core points of fingerprints located near the center on the fleshy pad of the finger.
Something we must note here is that each template is not an actual fingerprint image. This feature not only prevents duplicate fingerprints from being enrolled but also prevents the generation of duplicate templates.
Below in Figure A-1 are clear depictions of minutiae. The red dots represent core points located on your finger. A core point is the topmost point on the innermost upward recurring ridge line.
Figure A-1
Note: If this manual is printed in black and white, a dot will be visible within the ridges.
During the enrollment process, the user places their finger on the
A10/X628 sensor and the A10/X628 takes a picture of the user’s minutiae points. Proprietary mathematical algorithms are used by the A10/X628 and covert the picture into a unique mathematical template. This template is then encrypted and stored in the A10/X628 database.
Each time a user’s fingerprint is scanned, the A10/X628 searches its database for a matching fingerprint. If the A10/X628 matches a user’s fingerprint, their attendance is recorded in the A10/X628 audit log. This information can be noted on subsequent reports.
Note: Security issues should never be a concern when using the
A10/X628. No real image of the user’s fingerprint(s) is stored in the device. Only the minutiae-based templates are stored.
B. Getting Good Fingerprint Images
The quality of fingerprint images is comparable to the amount of minutiae points acquired by the A10/X628 sensor. Fingerprint images that do not possess a sufficient number of minutiae points may be indecipherable. We advise those users whose fingerprint images cannot be read by the sensor to create a password.
Below in Figure A-2 shows examples of inadequate fingerprints. These are examples of smudged, faded or distorted areas on the fingerprint.
These conditions are incurred by excessive dryness, wetness, insufficient pressure or scarring of the skin at the fingertip.
Figure A-2
The fingerprint matching algorithm is capable of extracting the correct minutiae without visibly seeing a perfect print. However, the positioning of the finger, the moisture and pressure is imperative when placing it on the sensor. These are major contributing factors in achieving a consistent fingerprint match.
C. Correcting Wet/Dry Fingerprint(s) Images
After washing your hands or in rigid temperatures, your fingers tend to be dry. In this case, the user should moisturize their finger(s) simply by breathing on the fleshy pad of their fingertip before placing it on the sensor. The moisture from their breath is transferred to the finger(s) which should help improve their recognition.
If the fingerprint is too wet, the ridges and valleys are rendered indistinguishable. The lack of recognizable minutiae causes wet fingerprints to be rejected by the A10/X628. A quick resolution to this problem is simply swiping the finger on a clean dry towel or cloth.
D. How Much Pressure Required for Good
Fingerprint(s)
Too much pressure applied on the sensor can cause ridges to be too close together, which creates an indistinguishable image. In addition, too much pressure generates blurred images which the sensor cannot identify.
If little pressure is applied, the sensor will not be able to read the fingerprint.
It is crucial for your finger to cover the majority of the sensor and maintain contact with it for 2 full seconds until you hear your A10/X628 beep.
When you hear this, the A10/X628 is sensing your finger and will prompt you to continue the enrollment process.
Practicing applying pressure to the sensor will increase the chances of your fingerprint being readable. Once you have a better idea of how much pressure to use, enrolling users shouldn’t be a concern.
Below is an illustration displaying how to properly place your finger on the sensor.
Below are examples of how not to place your finger on the sensor.
E. Identity Verification
The A10/X628 will not record an employee’s attendance until the individual’s identity is verified. There are two ways for the A10/X628 to verify a user’s identity: fingerprint matching and password matching.
E. Fingerprint(s)/Password Matching
The A10/X628 supports two methods of fingerprint matching: 1:N and
1:1.
1:N fingerprint matching, or 1 touch matching, is a fast and easy method.
It will match a user’s fingerprint(s) to all templates in the A10/X628 database. With this type of matching, a user does not have to enter in their user ID prior to placing their finger on the sensor.
1:1 fingerprint matching can be used when too many users fingerprints are not easily recognized by the A10/X628. This will require a user to enter in their user ID number before verifying themselves with a fingerprint.
Password matching is utilized when too many users have difficulty with the fingerprint matching process. Here a user can register with a four digit password to access the A10/X628.
IV. User Management
A. Brief Overview of Enrollment/Verification
Process
This section provides a brief overview of enrolling various types of users and the security process used to prevent false identification.
B. User Enrollment/Verification
Enrollment is a process that associates an ID number to a users finger(s) to create a template. This template is stored in the A10/X628’s memory for future verification.
During user verification, the stored template is compared to a current fingerprint scan to confirm the user’s identity. (This process should approximately take 2-4 seconds). Up to ten fingers can be enrolled for the same ID number so the user may have more verification options.
We strongly advise enrolling one finger from each hand so in case of a hand injury; a user can use a finger from the other hand as backup. It is recommended to enroll either index fingers and/or middle fingers.
For users with extremely thin fingers, we recommend enrolling the thumb.
For users whose fingers are difficult to enroll or cannot be enrolled, we advise enrolling a password in addition to your fingerprint(s).
C. Match Threshold Levels
The Match Threshold is an extensive verification process performed to ensure that users are who they claim to be.
The Match Threshold Levels establishes a balance between False
Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR). FAR measures how often a non-authorized user is falsely recognized and granted access to the system. FRR measures how often an enrolled and authorized user is denied access to system because the system did not recognize them.
Note: You cannot set match threshold levels on a per user basis. The threshold setting is universal for the user population.
If too many users are experiencing difficulty having their fingerprint(s) read, we recommend using 1:1 matching (i.e. User first enters their User
ID, and then places their finger on the sensor for verification).
Raising the threshold increases security while lowering decreases it. You need to strike a correct balance based upon the quality of users fingerprints.
If too many users are experiencing difficulty fingerprint recognition, the match threshold level can and should be reduced.
Table 1—1 Suggested Match Threshold Settings
FRR FAR One-to-many One-to-one
High Low 45 25
Middle Middle 35 15
Low High 25 10
D. User ID Numbers
Fingerprints are assigned a unique user ID number which are referred to fingerprint templates from the A10/X628 database.
E. Authority Levels
The A10/X628 has four authority levels:
1. Users
People whose identity must be verified prior to having their attendance recorded. Users have no administrative privileges.
2. Enrollers
People who have authorization to enroll or delete users from the system.
.
3. Administrator
People who can perform other operations except set advanced options and enroll administrators .
4. Supervisors
People who have access to ALL functions.
Note:
Until a supervisor is enrolled in the system, any user can access the
Menu system.
F. Start-up window
In order for your start up window to appear, plug in the power adaptor to the main power supply. If the start up window does not automatically start when the power adaptor is plugged in, press the power button and your
A10/X628 should turn on.

A. User Enrollment
The first to enroll with the A10/X628 will be capable of enrolling other users. Until an actual administrator is enrolled, all users will temporarily have administrative access. Therefore, it is important to enroll a supervisor on the A10/X628 after installation.
There are three types of enrollment:
1. Fingerprint enrollment
2. Password enrollment
3. Fingerprint & password enrollment
The enrollment type selected depends on the environment and how easily users fingerprint(s) can be read by the A10/X628.
Fingerprint enrollment: should be used when the majority of users fingerprint(s) can be read. This is typical for most office environments.
Password enrollment: should be used for users whose fingerprint(s) cannot be enrolled or verified. It is not unusual to have some users experience fingerprint verification difficulties.
Fingerprint & Password: this type of enrollment allows users to register both fingerprint(s) and password. a. Fingerprint Enrollment

XIII. Maintenance
Cleaning
From time to time, the optical sensor, keypad and display window require cleaning. Since working environments differ, it is not possible to define when exactly cleaning should be performed.
Below is a suggested guide:
Keypad and display window
Clean when visibly dirty and hard to read.
Optical platen Do not over clean. The platen is designed to work under greasy or dirty conditions.
However, do clean if the platen is obscured or if users report deteriorating performance. See cleaning the Optical Platen below.
To clean the keypad and display, use a soft paper tissue which should be slightly damp.
Cleaning the Optical Platen
• If dusty, blow air on the platen to clean any dust particles.
• If the sensor is greasy, wipe it with a mild window cleaner or other similar neutral detergent.
Warning: Do not use any other cleaner or the platen may be damaged. Be careful not to scratch the platen.
