• In fingerprint recognition, enrollment process is very important. When enroll-

• In case of low acceptance ratio, the following actions are recommended.
ūū Delete the enrolled fingerprint and re-enroll the finger.
ūū Try another finger if a finger is not easy to enroll due to scar or cuts.
• In case of an enrolled fingerprint cannot be used due to injury or if the hand is
full, it is recommended to enroll more than two fingers per user.
