The HandPunch is programmed via a series of command menus. A summary of

the menus and commands is given in Table 3.

Table 3: Basic Command Mode Structure

To control access to the command menus, each menu has a unique password.

This password is requested as a part of the process for accessing each menu. A supervisor must enter the correct password for that menu to access that menu.

The default menu passwords are given in Table 3.

Enrollment Menu

Enrollment is the process of recording a hand image and associating it with an

ID number. The first person to enroll in the HandPunch has access to all

command menus. This person should enroll using the Add Supervisor

command.

Preparation

Here are a few guidelines to help you prepare for an enrollment session.

• You can enroll one person or a group of people during an enrollment

session.

• Each user must have a unique personal identification (ID) number.

USE THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

It will save you considerable time if you assign the ID numbers in advance.

• The HandPunch will not accept two people with the same ID number.

• If you are enrolling large groups of people you may consider using an

enrollment trainer. It is a replica of a platen that is available through your

Recognition Systems reseller.

User Education

The HandPunch is easy to use and non-threatening. However, most people have

never used a biometric HandPunch. Training users on how the HandPunch

works and how to use it will eliminate most fears and concerns before they

occur. Inform the users of these facts.

• The HandPunch reads the shape of the hand, not the fingerprints or

palmprints.

• It does not identify people. It confirms people’s identity.

• It scans with an invisible light of the type used in TV remote controls.

• It does not transfer germs any more than a doorknob or money.

• It does not invade privacy; it guarantees it.

• The enrollment process requires three or more reads to collect enough

information to create a template.

Proper Hand Placement

For correct, consistent hand reads it is very important that your hand is placed

on the platen in the same manner every time. The following rules apply for

proper hand placement on the platen also refer to Figure 8-2 bellow.

• If you are wearing a ring, rotate the ring so the stone faces up in its normal

position.

• Slide your right hand onto the platen rather like an airplane landing at the

airport.

• Slide your hand forward until the web between your index and middle finger

stops against the Web Pin.

• Keep your hand flat. You should feel the surface of the platen on your palm

and the underside of your fingers.

• Close your fingers together until they touch the Finger Pins and watch the

hand diagram light display on the top panel.

• The lights go out when you have properly placed your fingers. If a light

remains on, a finger is not in proper contact with its Finger Pin.

Left Hand Enrollment

Some right hands cannot be used in the HandPunch due to disabilities such as

missing fingers. You can enroll a user with the left hand facing palm side up. The

techniques for left hand enrollment are the same as for standard enrollment. The

user should keep the back of the hand flat against the platen and move the

fingers against the web pin and the finger pins in the same manner as in

standard enrollment. Users enrolled with the left hand must always verify with

the left hand. Extra practice on placing the hand on the platen may be required to

ensure correct, consistent hand reads.

Read Score

When a user uses the HandPunch the display appears as follows.

OKAY (USER ID)

SCORE IS: (SCORE NUMBER)

The score number on the display reflects how accurately the user’s hand is

placed on the platen. Scores that vary greatly between low and high numbers are

indicative of inconsistent hand placement. Scores above 50 are indicative of

improper hand placement or of a drastic change in the physical appearance of

the hand.

When this occurs, emphasize the importance of sliding the hand onto the platen

and keeping the hand flat. Re-training and practice should lower a user’s score.

It might be necessary to change a user’s reject threshold if the user has a mild

disability. Re-enrollment might be necessary to create a new user template.

Enrollment Commands

There are three commands available from the Enrollment command menu.

• Add Employee

• Add Supervisor

• Remove User

Refer to Table 12 to identify the command you need to perform. Step through all

previous commands until you reach the desired command.

Table 8: Enrollment Command Menu

Add Employee The Add Employee command allows you to enroll a new employee into the HandPunch.

Add Supervisor The Add Supervisor command allows you to enroll a new supervisor into the

HandPunch.

Remove User The Remove User command allows you to remove an employee or supervisor

from the HandPunch.
