Chapter 5. Working with Lenovo Fingerprint Software
The fingerprint console must be run from the Lenovo Fingerprint Software installation folder. The basic
syntax is FPRCONSOLE [USER | SETTINGS]. The USER or SETTINGS command specifies what set of
operation will be used. The full command is "fprconsole user add TestUser". When the command is not
known or not all parameters are specified, the short command list is shown together with the parameters.
The Lenovo Fingerprint Software, installation instructions, management console and all related
documentation are available on the Lenovo Web site at: http://www.lenovo.com/support
