How to Swipe the Finger
Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration or 
authentication will help to minimize authentication failures:
Align the first joint of the finger at the center of the sensor, then lightly touch 
the sensor and swipe finger horizontally towards you until the sensor 
surface becomes visible. In performing this process, you should also take 
care to ensure that the center of your fingerprint is on the sensor.
The following illustrations show the recommended way to swipe your finger 
over the fingerprint sensor.

■
Avoid swiping with your finger stiff or pressed too hard onto the sensor, 
and take care to ensure that the center of the fingerprint is touching the 
sensor before swiping. Either of these conditions may cause fingerprint 
reading to fail.
■
Check the center of the fingerprint whirl before swiping and then 
ensure this is swiped along the center line of the sensor.
■
There is a possibility of authentication failures if the finger is swiped too 
quickly or too slowly - follow any on-screen instructions to adjust the 
speed used during the swipe process.
