      This article covers the Digital Persona Fingerprint Reader and it's integration with Bepoz. The guide includes BackOffice setup, BackOffice Enrollment, Device Setup and SmartPOS Setups/Usage.

      Prerequisites​​​​​​​

      To begin the implementation process, the Implementation Operator must have the following privileges enabled:

      • Ability to use BackOffice
      • Access to & maintenance of Scheduled Jobs
      • Access to & maintenance of Venue, Stores & Tills

      About

      • Bepoz can interface to a fingerprint reader for the purposes of Operator Identification for logging into a Till
      • As of writing, Bepoz interfaces to the Digital Persona UareU Reader
        • This requires the DPUareU re-distribution software to be loaded on each till & workstation that will use a reader
      • Fingerprint identification requires that an operator first “Enrolls” their fingers for alternative identification
      • The Fingerprint reader interface requires a connection to SmartControl
        • They will not work when the till is OFFLINE
      • It is standard practice that at least THREE FINGERS for each operator are enrolled to allow for circumstances where a finger is damaged etc.
      • It is also standard practice to ensure there is an alternative login method available in cases where an operator is not able to be identified
      • There are two interfaces that can be configured; one for the Till for logging in and Enrollment and another optional interface for Enrollment at the BackOffice

      BackOffice Extension Device Setup

      • Below are the Device Settings to enable Enrollment at a BackOffice

      • You will now need to restart BackOffice
      • This will create a new icon on the main Toolbar for Enrollment of fingerprints

      SmartPOS Device Setup

      • Below are the Device Settings to enable fingerprint login at SmartPOS


      • Although the Device Type is “Serial Data Input” this reader does not use serial communications
      • This is all that is required for Logging in at the Till

      DigitalPersona Software Installation

      Backoffice Enrollment

      • Once the above setups have been completed and you log into BackOffice you will see a new icon in the system toolbar as shown below


      • This is where you can enroll (assign) fingerprints to an operator
      • When the menu option is selected then the below screen will be shown this will display a list of your operators

      • If BackOffice can't detect a fingerprint reader then the below message will be displayed, in this case, you should attempt to unplug and then re-insert the device and try again

      • To enable fingerprint login at SmartPOS 1st select an operator (A) then press the Select (B) function
      • The below screen will be displayed where you are required to select which finger you would like to enroll

      • Once a finger is selected the below screen will be shown, and the operator will be prompted to place their finger on the reader

      • Finger enrollment varies and takes between 4 and 8 finger scans

      • Once a finger is enrolled OK then you can proceed and do any additional finger for that operator if required

      • Once you have enrolled all the fingers for the operator in question then you can press the close button (A) and you will be returned to BackOffice

      SmartPOS Enrollment

      • To enable enrolling fingerprints at a till you must add the following function key to the Till

      • Now from within SmartPOS, you can navigate to the button you created in the above step

      • As with the BackOffice, a list of Operators will be displayed to the user

      • The finger enrollment process at SmartPOS is then the same workflow as within BackOffice

      SmartPOS FingerPrint Login

      • Once an operator is enrolled they can log in to SmartPOS by simply placing their finger on the reader
      • If the reader does not detect the print and is unable to associate it to an operator the below message will be shown

      • In the above instance, we suggest wiping the reader to confirm it is clear of marks or dirt
