- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device
System Requirements
The OmniPass application requires space on your hard drive; it also requires specific Operating Systems (OS’s). The
minimum requirements are as follows:
•
Windows XP Professional operating system or later
•
At least 35 MB available hard disk space
Installing the OmniPass Application
If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to “User Enrollment” on page 167
.
Otherwise continue with this
section on software installation.
To install OmniPass on your system you must:
1
Insert the installation media for the Omnipass application into the appropriate drive if the media is available,
otherwise download a backup copy of the application from the support website. Then find and launch the
installation program (setup.exe) from the folder.
If the system has a fingerprint device, the Omnipass installation
program will be launched.
2
Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass installation program. Specify a location to which you would like
OmniPass installed
.
It is recommended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root directory (e.g.
C:
\
).
3
Once OmniPass has completed installation you will be prompted to restart you system. Once your system has
rebooted you will be able to use OmniPass. If you choose not to restart immediately after installation, OmniPass
will not be available for use until the next reboot.
4
The installation program automatically places an icon (Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well as
a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar.
