Amigo Point of Sale includes an integrated fingerprint management system, allowing enhanced security to minimize password and/or employee id sharing.

 

 

Begin by enabling Fingerprint Login in Back Office · Program Setup · Main Settings · User Interface. Ensure that the box under the Disable column is unchecked next to the Fingerprint Login type. At least one other login type must also be enabled until the fingerprint login system is configured.

 

 

Confirm that the fingerprint login icon appears on the Amigo Point Of Sale login screen.

 

 

Shut down Amigo Point Of Sale and click the shortcut to the Fingerprint Management Utility located in the Start - All Programs - Amigo Point of Sale program group. A list of all employees appears on the left side of the screen. Select a user and click on the finger to enroll. Although multiple fingers can be enrolled for each employee, it is recommended that a single finger is enrolled. For example, if your system utilizes an integrated fingerprint scanner located on the right side of the point of sale terminal, the right index fingerprint may be enrolled for each employee. Enrolling only a single fingerprint for each employee also ensures extremely fast fingerprint matching during login and that the database size is not unnecessarily increased.

 

 

After the finger is selected, instruct the employee to scan the selected finger 4 times, waiting for a confirmation of a successful scan between each scan attempt.

 

 

Each successful scan is indicated by a blue oval. When all four ovals are blue, the employee's scan is saved to the database.

 

 

An unsuccessful scan is shown above. Unsuccessful scans may be caused by improper finger placement or a dirty scanner bed.

 

 

Confirm that the fingerprint is stored in the database by clicking the Management tab after selecting the employee. All fingerprints stored for the selected employee appear on the list. If a mistake is made, select the fingerprint and click the red delete button to permanently delete the selected fingerprint entry.

 

 

If an employee that does not have an enrolled fingerprint attempts to login, the NO MATCH message appears. Otherwise, the employee is logged in normally.
