58 Chapter 2 Using your J3500 Using the fingerprint reader
Create an OmniPass user account
You create (enroll as) a new OmniPass user to register your fingerprint. Before you begin,
read the following tips.
Fingerprint reader tips
• For best results, use the Practice option to familiarize yourself with the fingerprint
reader before enrolling the first time.
• Be consistent. Hold your finger and scan at the same angle each time. For example, if you
enroll your finger with your hand open, hold your hand this way each time you scan.
• The scanner is bi-directional. You can move your finger from right to left or left to right.
• Read the prompts carefully and ensure that you wait for the prompt before you swipe.
• Swiping too fast or too slow can make a capture unsuccessful. Change the swipe speed
until you learn what speed works best.
• When scanning, press hard enough to fully contact both the nickel-colored ring and the
sensor; you do not have to press hard.
• Rub your fingers together to stimulate the natural skin oils so your fingerprint is easier to
detect. Conversely, wipe your finger off so nothing interferes with the scan.
• If you are having trouble enrolling a specific finger, enroll a different finger. Enroll
multiple fingers in case one is injured.
• If you are repeatedly having trouble getting a good scan, you may need to clean the
sensor. See “Cleaning the fingerprint reader” on page 71.
