❏Fingerprint Authentication (Only 
Available with the ScanFront 300P)
Use the procedure below for fingerprint authentication. 
For details on fingerprint registration, see “Fingerprint 
Registration (Only Available with the ScanFront 300P)” 
on p. 5-10.

with the registered fingerprint. 
IMPORTANT
Perform finger authentication by gently pressing the finger while 
slowly sweeping it at a constant speed to scan the fingerprint. 
2.The Home screen (or Job Button screen) appears if 
the fingerprint is authenticated correctly.
Hint
 When fingerprint authentication fails, the cause of the failure 
and a solution appear on the screen. Follow the instructions in 
the solution, and perform fingerprint authentication again.
 If a user fingerprint is registered for server authentication, and 
the user password is changed on the server while the user is 
logged in via fingerprint authentication, the following message 
will appear on the screen. In this case, without using 
fingerprint authentication, enter your user name and changed

6.Fingerprint Registration (Only Available with the ScanFront 300P)
Fingerprint authentication is a function for registering the fingerprints of users that will log in when the device authentication or 
server authentication method is used, and enables users to log in by authenticating their fingerprints. When fingerprint 
authentication is used, there is no need to select a user in the list type login screen or enter a user name and password in the key in 
type login screen. For details on handling the fingerprint sensor, see “Fingerprint Sensor (ScanFront 300P)” on p. 2-11. 
❏Fingerprint Authentication
●Follow the procedure below to use fingerprint 
registration and authentication. 
1. Align the first joint of a finger on the sensor and 
press the finger on the fingerprint sensor. 
2. Keep the finger pressed while slowly sliding it 
straight at a constant speed to scan the 
fingerprint. 
 
●Fingerprint authentication uses the unique 
information of fingerprints. The fingerprint 
authentication function may not work properly for a 
finger with a fingerprint that is worn down or has 
few distinguishable features.
●The same finger needs to be scanned three times 
to register the fingerprint. ●The authentication performance differs depending 
on the condition of the fingerprint when it is 
registered and when it is authenticated. The 
following conditions may cause an error in 
fingerprint authentication:
– The finger is wet or sweaty
– The finger is dirty
– The grooves of the fingerprint are filled with 
sweat or oil
– The finger is dry (dry skin)
– Part of the fingerprint is missing because of, for 
example, a wound or burn injury
– The fingerprint has worn thin
●Authentication performance may improve if the 
condition of the fingerprint is improved as a result 
of washing your hands or applying hand cream.
●Authentication may not be performed properly 
depending on the speed with which you slide your 
finger over the sensor. In this case, adjust the 
speed with which you slide your finger in 
accordance with the message that appears. 
●Fingerprint authentication does not necessarily 
guarantee the authentication and verification of the 
identity of a person.
