Fingerprint Utility

This product has a fingerprint utility installed for the
purpose of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints. By
enrolling the ID and password to the fingerprint authen-
tication device, it is no longer necessary to input the
password from the keyboard. Just by swiping the finger
against the fingerprint sensor, the following functions
will be enabled:
❑ Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled

homepage through IE (Internet Explorer).

❑ Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and

third party access to them prevented.

❑ Disable the password-protected screen-saver when

returning from power-saving (sleep) mode.

❑ Power-on Security and Single Sign-On feature.
❑ Authentication of the User Password and Hard Disk

Password when booting up the computer.

Fingerprint utility cannot be used in models that do not have a
fingerprint module installed.
