Chapter 2 Driver Installation USB Driver Installation 13
USB Driver Installation If you are installing the USB Fingkey Mouse in the Windows 98 environment, the Windows 98 Installation CD will be required if there are no Human Interface Device (HID) drivers installed on your system. 1. Prior to beginning the installation, please close all applications that are running. 2. Do not plug in the USB FRD until after the drivers have been installed on your system. 3. Insert the Installation CD in your CD-ROM drive. The installation program will start automatically.
4. Follow the instructions presented by the InstallShield Wizard during the driver installation process.. 5. Select the device you are using and click “Next”. These examples in this guide are based on selection of the USB Fingkey Mouse (MFDU01) as an example.
6. When driver installation is completed, it is necessary to check the device status to ensure that it was installed correctly. You will be prompted to connect the USB FRD as shown in the diagram below: 7. Connect the FRD to the USB port, and wait a moment. You can also click “Plug in later” to install it at a later time.
8. The New Hardware Installation Wizard will automatically show you the process of installing USB Composite, HID and FRD drivers. If you are installing a USB Fingkey Hamster, only the FRD driver will be installed. 9. When the device installation process is completed, a window will be displayed indicating that “the device is successfully installed.” Click the “Next” button. 10. Check the ‘Device Diagnostic Tool’ check box and click “Finish”.
Refer to Chapter 3 ‘How to use the Device Diagnostic Tool’ for more information on using device diagnostic tool to ensure that the FRD is successfully installed.

Chapter 3 How To Use The Device Diagnostic Tool Running the Diagnostic Tool Device Enroll Verify Fingerprint Quality Check General About 20
Running the Diagnostic Tool 1. Click Start-Run to run the testing program. 2. Type ‘NFD’ and click “OK”.
Device 1. Select a device you wish to use and then initialize. 2. Click “Device Scan” to display the list of all devices in the system. 3. Choose a certain device from the list and click “Init” to initialize the device, which makes it possible to capture or use other functionalities of the tab. Without initialization, other functionalities of the tab cannot be used. 4. Click “Init” to output device information. 5. Click “Save” or right-click on the image to save the fingerprint image as BMP.
6. There are options in capturing fingerprints. If the fingerprint is dry or wet, resulting in poor image quality, the fingerprint cannot be input properly. In this case, uncheck the “Latent Fingerprint Check” and then capture the image to view the fingerprint image. USB Device: At present, devices that can be supported are USB-typed HFDU01, MFDU01 and HFDU11. Click “Device Scan” with a driver installed to display types of USB devices that are connected to the system.
Enroll 1. Enroll users using eNBSP SDK, based on the device selected from the Device tab. Enrolled fingerprint information is used to authenticate fingerprints in the Verify tab. 2. Click “Enroll” to display the UI for fingerprint enrollment. Select a fingerprint to register and click “finish”. 3. If the fingerprint is successfully input, the user ID is registered and “SUCCESS” is displayed.
4. A user ID automatically increments from 1000. A fingerprint ID is automatically selected from 1 to 10, each corresponding to from the thumb of the right hand to the little finger of the left hand in an orderly manner. A user ID can be changed within the range of 1000~9999. If a user ID and a fingerprint ID are identical, a message “Do you want to update it?” will be pop up. 5. Click “Delete FP” to remove the selected fingerprint information from the list.
Verify 1. User information input from the Enroll tab is displayed on the list. Using this user information, verification is performed. There are two types of authentication: Verification(1:1) and Identification(1:N). 2. Select “Identification” and then click “Match” to perform verification. If there is a fingerprint that matches, related information is displayed. 3. Or select a user ID and a fingerprint ID to attempt verification.
4. Matching Score is output when authentication attempted. It is a result of matching an input fingerprint with existing fingerprint data. The score range is 0 ~ 9. The score is compared with the security level value of the General tab, determining success or failure. If the security level is 5 and the matching score is lower than 5, verification fails. If the score is higher than 5, on the other hand, verification is passed.
Fingerprint Quality Check 1. You can check fingerprints the before status of enrolling fingerprints or attempting verification. 2. Input the same fingerprint twice. The picture on the left is an example of an image of an improperly input fingerprint. 3. This is an image of a properly input fingerprint. Make sure to input the core of a fingerprint.
4. It is recommended that a minimum value required to enroll a fingerprint be bigger than 3. It can be less than 2 but it can bring about low verification ratio. The same fingerprint with different positions on the sensor can change values because fingerprint features are located differently.
General 1. Option values used in eNBSP SDK are set up. The values are applied to other tabs. If “Init” is not selected on the Device tab, Brightness and Contrast are set at “0”, which cannot be changed. 2. The pictures left shows images of a fingerprint with two different Brightness values. If a fingerprint is too dry or too wet, change Brightness and Contrast to get an optimal image. 3. The maximum number of fingerprint that can be input is 10 as a default.

USB FRD Problems 1. Verify that the USB connector of FRD is connected to the USB port correctly. 2. Click Start-Setting-Control Panel-System icon and select the ‘Device Manager’ tab to verify that the Fingkey Mouse driver is installed correctly. If it is not installed correctly as shown below, repeat the installation process and be sure to select the USB Fingkey Mouse. 3.
1. When the FRD is connected on your computer together with any other high-speed USB devices such as USB Camera or USB Scanner etc., it cannot be used at the same time as these devices. Close the programs that are using these devices before using the FRD. 2.
Driver Installation without Installshield wizard 1. There are device models below \EasyInstall\FDU\Drivers. Select a model and then an O/S folder for the system. Use the inf file below the O/S folder. The folder contains files required to install device models. In the FDU01 folder, fdu01.cat, Venus.dll and VenusDrv.sys exist, while fdu11.cat, NGStar.dll and NGStar.sys exist in the FDU11 folder. In the Win9x series, *.cat file do not exist.
