How to clock in using a fingerprint reader

Daily use instructions for employees clocking in and out with a fingerprint reader.

Once your fingerprint is registered in the device, you can use it to clock in and out every day.

How to start your work time

  1. Walk up to the fingerprint reader.

  2. Place your registered finger on the scanner.

  3. The device will confirm your identity and start your work time.

  4. You will see a confirmation message on the device display.

How to end your work time

  1. Place your finger on the scanner again at the end of your shift.

  2. The device recognizes you and ends your work time.

Using an RFID card instead

If you have an RFID card linked to your profile, hold the card near the reader instead of scanning your fingerprint. The process is the same — the device identifies you and registers the clock-in or clock-out.

Troubleshooting

  • Finger not recognized — try a different registered finger, or clean the scanner surface.

  • No confirmation — check that the device is powered on and connected to the network.

  • Wrong employee — contact your admin to re-register your fingerprint.
