Fingerprint Sensor Device

INTRODUCING THE FINGERPRINT
SENSOR DEVICE

Your system has a fingerprint sensor device below the
Touchpad, between the left and right buttons. This also
serves as a scroll button.

With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter
a username and password every time you want to:

■

Log onto Windows

■

Recover from Standby mode

■

Cancel a password-protected screen saver

■

Log into homepages that require a username and pass-
word

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger-
print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the
sensor for the system recognize you.

The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which
provides password management capabilities to
Microsoft Windows operating systems. OmniPass
enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows,
applications, and on-line passwords.

The use of OmniPass results in a secure authentication
system for restricting access to your computer, applica-
tions, websites, and other password-protected resources.

OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface,
through which you can securely manage passwords,
users, and multiple identities for each user.

GETTING STARTED

This section guides you through the preparation of your
system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition
application. You will be led through the OmniPass

installation process. You will also be led through the
procedure of enrolling your first user into OmniPass.

INSTALLING OMNIPASS

If OmniPass has already been installed on your system,
skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on
page 100. You can determine whether OmniPass has
already been installed by checking to see if the following
are present:

■

The presence of the gold key-shaped OmniPass icon in
the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.

■

The presence of the Softex program group in the

Programs

group of the

Start

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

■

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 100

(If you have run the

ClickMe! utility, it is likely that OmniPass has already
been installed on your system.) Otherwise continue with
this section on software installation.

To install OmniPass on your system you must:

1. Insert the installation media for the OmniPass appli-

cation into the appropriate drive. If you are
installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, you must
find and launch the OmniPass installation program
(setup.exe) from the media.

2. Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass

installation program. Specify a location to which
you would like OmniPass installed

It is recom-

mended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root
directory (e.g.

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.

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.

Although the system has a fingerprint
sensor in place of a scroll button, the
fingerprint sensor can be used for scrolling.
Simply move your fingerprint over the
sensor the same as you would use a scroll
button.

For installation, OmniPass requires that the
user installing OmniPass have
administrative privileges to the system. If
your current user does not have
administrative privileges, log out and then
log in with an administrator user before
proceeding with OmniPass installation.
