Amigo Pos includes an integrated fingerprint management system designed specifically for the Digital Persona U-R-U 4500 (and 4000) USB fingerprint reader, allowing enhanced security to eliminate the possibility of password or login id sharing among employees. All necessary device drivers for the Digital Persona U.R.U 4500 are installed with Amigo Pos. Do not install any additional drivers or any 3rd party fingerprint management software. Simply connect the fingerprint reader to a USB port and restart Amigo Pos.

Selecting the Finger to Enroll in the Fingerprint Management Utility

 

 

Shut down Amigo Pos 7and click the shortcut to the Fingerprint Management Utility located in the Start - All Programs - Amigo Pos program group. A list of all employees appears on the left side of the screen. Select a user and click on the finger to enroll. Although multiple fingers can be enrolled for each employee, it is recommended that a single finger is enrolled. For example, if your system utilizes an integrated fingerprint scanner located on the right side of the pos pos station, the right index fingerprint may be enrolled for each employee. Enrolling only a single fingerprint for each employee also ensures extremely fast fingerprint matching during login and that the database size is not unnecessarily increased.
