Acroprint TimeQ+ Fingerprint Sensitivity Settings
Fingerprint sensitivity controls how closely a scanned print must match the stored template to be accepted.
Higher values require a more exact match, while lower values allow easier recognition.

- Make small adjustments only
- Ensure consistent finger placement
- Try a different finger if scans fail
Fixing Recognition Problems
| Issue |
Solution |
| Repeated “try again” |
Slightly lower user sensitivity |
| Wrong person recognized |
Increase sensitivity on incorrect match |
| Poor scans |
Re-enroll using different finger |
Improved Accuracy Method
Have employees enter their ID before scanning. This forces a one-to-one match instead of searching all stored prints, dramatically reducing errors.
