M2S1Scanner Introduction
4. Emission Notice
< M2S1 Scanner >
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for the Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed, and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- To block unauthorized access, any users who are not enrolled in M2SYS-Biometrics
Suite are not allowed to logon to the PC.
- An enrolled user's privacy is protected since the fingerprint data saved is minutiae
data extracted from the scanned fingerprint. It is impossible to restore the original
fingerprint picture from this data.
Windows 2000
OS
Windows XP
M2SYS-Logon
M2SYS-Logon will manage users, control optional settings (including sensor settings),
manage Windows/domain logins, and control the screensaver lock.
Windows Logon
Screensaver Lock
User Manager
A new user can be enrolled easily by entering user information at the user manager
screen. A maximum number of 300 users can be enrolled and their privileges can be
confirmed at a glance of this table.
A maximum of 5 fingers can be enrolled for each user. When fingerprint data is enrolled,
the quality level of minutiae data from the scanned fingerprint image is displayed, the
user is encouraged to enroll high quality data.
M2S1 Scanner Product background
Log Information
A log of each authentication used to logon, unlock, access the user manager and access
M2SYS-Biometric Suite options will be recorded for 100 days or 5000 events.
M2SYS-Pass
M2SYS-Pass is an application that will enter a password automatically into a dialog box
by fingerprint authentication. You are no longer required to remember all passwords. Just
put your fingertip on the sensor. You can also skip the fingerprint authentication for auto-
password entry by checking Single Sign-On on the M2SYS-Logon Options screen.
Password Entry
When a target window is opened you will be required to put your finger on the sensor.
Once authenticated, the password will be automatically entered into the dialog box.
A hotkey can be used for manual authentication.You can also skip the fingerprint
authentication by changing M2SYS-Logon setting. (Single Sign-On)
Password Enrollment
It is easy to enroll a password by following the simple instructions on the utility screen.
Comments can be added to make managing your registered passwords easy.
The list of registered passwords can be seen from the option menu. A password can be
removed or its comments can be edited. Fingerprint authentication of the enrolled user
is required to view the option menu. Thus only an authorized person can view and edit
the list.
M2S1 Scanner Product background
M2SYS-Lock
M2SYS-Lock is the application which locks a file or folder by fingerprint authentication. The
contents of the locked file are encrypted so it cannot be viewed by anyone else. The file is
unlocked by fingerprint authentication. The authority of the lock release can be set up so
that the locked file can be shared by two or more users.
Lock
A file or folder can be locked by dragging and dropping it onto the M2SYS-Lock icon on
the desktop or by right clicking on the file and selecting Lock from the menu.
Lock Release
The file or folder can be unlocked by double clicking the file, drag and drop the file onto
the M2SYS-Lock icon, or by right clicking on the file and selecting Unlock. A fingerprint
authentication is required.
Application Lock
Fingerprint authentication can be required before starting an application. All
registered users of M2SYS-Biometrics Suite can be verified and use the application,
or the application can be locked so that only the M2SYS-Biometrics administrator is
allowed to use the application. Administrator authority in M2SYS-Biometrics Suite is
required to register and release an application. A list of registered applications can be
viewed from the list screen.
M2S1 Scanner Product background
Position/Speed sensors

character you select. Please select any key from combo box.
- A hotkey that is used by other applications cannot be used. If another application uses
TIP the same hotkey the M2SYS-Logon hotkey may not function correctly.
- Administrator password is very important information for security. We recommend the
hotkey to be changed periodically.
If the check for Require pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del is removed, input of the Ctrl-Alt-Del key
before logon or unlock screensaver authentication is not necessary. However, when the
authentication screen is closes, input of hotkey for starting verification is needed for
displaying authentication screen once again.
- Pressing "Ctrl-Alt-Del key" is used to prevent the entry of password other than to
