How do people book on/off using the biometric system?

Using the biometric system is easy:

  • To book on you push F1 and place your finger on the scanner (if you need to enter a SIN you will be prompted)

  • To book off you push F2 and place your finger on the scanner

Lock, Drop, Hold...

The following image and guidance from the biometric system’s manufacturer may help if you or your users are struggling to place their fingers correctly on the scanner:

  1. Lock - Position your finger where the first knuckle joint meets the Placement Guide

  2. Drop - Lower the pad of your fingertip evenly onto the center of the finger scanner. Use moderate pressure

  3. Hold - Keep your finger on the sensor until the terminal accepts the finger scan. Do not move or roll your finger
