verification to fail. The terminal is designed for indoor use in  
a temperature range of 32-104º F (0-40º C). Keep the terminal  
away from heat sources such as radiators.  
The terminal warranty does not cover defects or damages  
arising from improper installation, improper storage, abuse,  
ordinary wear or unauthorized service.

Terminal Configurations  
The TQ600 is available with either a fingerprint sensor or a proximity  
badge sensor. The fingerprint sensor provides the most secure user  
verification as it uniquely identifies each user. The proximity (“Prox”)  
badge is a faster method of verifying a user since you only need place  
your badge near the front of the terminal for verification but security  
could be circumvented since a user other than the owner of the badge  
can use the badge.  
This manual provides information for both terminal configurations.  
Sections specifically about fingerprint verification or proximity badge  
verification will pertain only to the corresponding terminal.

User Enrollment: Fingerprints  
User Identification/Verification  
Threshold  
User ID (PIN Number)  
Privilege Levels  
Start-up  
The two most important functions of fingerprint identification are  
user enrollment and user verification.  
User Enrollment: Fingerprints  
Enrollment is the process of capturing a user’s fingerprint and  
storing it as a “template” in the TQ600 along with a unique five (5)  
digit user ID. The user’s fingerprint template is created by taking  
three sample fingerprints on the TQ600.  
Each user should enroll at least two different fingers so that if an  
enrolled finger is injured an alternate finger can be used. The  
TQ600 allows users to enroll 1-10 fingerprints.  
- 8 -  
User Identification / Verification  
User identification is the process of comparing a user’s fingerprint  
against a fingerprint template stored in the terminal. When a  
user’s fingerprint matches a fingerprint template stored in the  
TQ600 the terminal will show a successful match, thus verifying  
the user’s identity.  
Threshold  
The threshold is a predefined number (set by the terminal system  
administrator) which establishes the degree of correlation necessary  
for a fingerprint comparison to be deemed a match. It can be  
thought of as the minimum accuracy required to confirm a  
fingerprint match.  
Some biometric systems call this the  
“sensitivity” level. If the score resulting from a fingerprint read  
compared to a fingerprint template stored in the terminal exceeds  
the threshold the templates are approved as a “match” (though the  
templates themselves are not identical).  
The threshold establishes a balance between False Acceptance Rate  
(FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR). FAR means the probability  
that a biometric system will incorrectly identify an individual or  
will fail to reject an impostor. FRR means the probability that a  
biometric system will fail to identify an enrolled individual.  
- 9 -  
The threshold value is a global setting, i.e., it is set for all users.  
If a user has a problem with fingerprint verification due to worn  
fingerprints or dry skin you may need to have the user enter their  
User ID in order to match their fingerprint to their stored template.  
This is referred to as 1:1 (one to one) verification since they are  
specifically comparing their fingerprint to their stored template.  
Raising the threshold increases security or the probability that a  
successful fingerprint read accurately corresponds to the correct  
stored fingerprint template. Lowering the threshold increases the  
possibility of a false acceptance. The correct balance is vital for  
maximum security as well as usability.  
Notice: FAR and FRR are interrelated: For example, raising the  
threshold reduces FAR but increases FRR, while lowering the  
threshold increases FAR but reduces FRR. The threshold value  
can be set independently for “one to many” (1:N) matching and  
“one to one” (1:1) matching. The default threshold for (1:N) is 35  
and the default threshold for (1:1) matching is 15.

User ID (PIN number)  
Before beginning fingerprint enrollment, a user is assigned a User  
ID number (sometimes referred to as a PIN number). This User ID  
number is used to recall fingerprint templates or passwords each  
time verification is requested.  
Privilege Levels  
Privilege levels are the levels at which users are authorized to  
access terminal functions. These levels define the authority of a  
user to access specified administrative functions including the  
ability to view, edit, add, or renew specified information categories.  
Privilege levels are built-in terminal functions that can be set as  
required.  
The TQ600 has four user privilege levels:  
User, Enroller, Admin (administrator) and Supervisor.  
z
Users are people whose identity must be verified to  
record time such as punching in/out or the time spent working  
on a job or working in specific departments.  
z
Enrollers can enroll supervisors, administrators,  
enrollers and users. Enrollers can delete users. Enrollers can  
access “User Manage” and “System Information” menus.  
z
Administrators (Admin) can enroll supervisors,  
administrators, enroller and users. Administrators can delete  
enrollers and users. Administrators can access all operations,  
except “Advanced Options”.  
- 11 -  
z
Supervisor is the highest authorization level.  
Supervisors can enroll supervisors, administrators, enrollers  
and users. Supervisors can delete administrators, enrollers  
and users. Supervisors can access all functions and change all  
setups.  
Note: If no user has administrative privileges (enroller, administrator  
or supervisor) in the terminal, ALL users will be enrolled with  
“Supervisor” privileges.  
To change a user that is currently enrolled as an administrator or enroller,  
delete the user and then re-enroll the user with the new privilege level.

Verifying Your Identity  
Fingerprint Enrollment Tips  
It is recommended that you use your index or middle finger for  
enrollment. If the fingerprints on your preferred hand are worn or  
damaged try using your other hand.  
The TQ600 will require three (3) sample fingerprints to enroll a user.  
Place your finger in the middle of the sensor. To ensure better  
fingerprint reads take each fingerprint sample with slightly different  
positioning; one centered, one rolled slightly to the left and the last  
rolled slightly to the right. The different angles will help account for  
different finger positioning during actual use.  
- 13 -  
CORRECT finger positioning:

Enrolling Users – Fingerprint Terminals  
After configuring the TQ600 you are ready to enroll users. If  
there are no users on the system all users will have a privilege level  
of supervisor, if an administrator (Admin) is enrolled on the system  
they will be the only one allowed to enroll a new user.  
The TQ600 provides three ways to enroll, Fingerprint Enrollment,  
Password Enrollment, or Fingerprint with Password Enrollment.  
Fingerprint Enrollment is preferable for personnel with good  
fingerprint definition; Fingerprint with Password is preferable for  
users that have difficulty verifying their finger print. Password  
Enrollment is necessary for users whose fingerprints are too worn  
or damaged for the terminal to read their fingerprint.  
To start the enrollment process, identify yourself. Press [MENU],  
enter your ID number or fingerprint, and verify your identity.  
Note: If this is the first enrollment in a new or empty system,  
you will not be prompted for verification.

Testing a Fingerprint Enrollment  
Ask the user to place their finger on the fingerprint sensor. If the  
test was successful the enrollment is complete. If the terminal  
cannot read the fingerprint or if several attempts are required for  
the terminal to verify the fingerprint, the user should try 1:1  
verification (refer to page 25).

User Verification Types  
Fingerprint Verification  
There are (3) fingerprint verification (“authentication”) types:  
1:1 Verification (“One to One” Verification)  
In this mode, a user enters their 5-digit User ID and takes a  
fingerprint reading. The TQ600 compares their fingerprint to the  
fingerprint template of the User ID that was entered, thus a 1:1  
comparison. The 1:1 verification method is the fastest verification  
method since it only has to compare the user’s fingerprint to one  
template stored in the terminal.  
1) In the initial interface, enter your ID number and the following  
appears:  
1:1 FP Match  
User ID 00011  
ESC  
OK  
Note: The User ID is 5 digits. If you enter a number with less  
than 5 digits the TQ600 adds 0’s in order to create a 5 digit  
User ID, i.e., if you enter “11” the TQ600 will Enroll “00011”.  
- 24 -  
2) Press [OK] and the following appears:  
FP Verify  
User ID 00011  
Place Finger…  
3) It continues  
for about 0.5 seconds.  
If the test is successful, the following appears:  
Verify  
User ID 00011  
Verified.  
4) If your identity cannot be verified, you are prompted to try  
again, the following appears:  
1:1 FP Match  
Please Try Agn.  
It continues for about 0.5 seconds then returns to the start-up  
window.  
- 25 -  
1:N Verification (“One to Many” Verification)  
In this mode, a user simply takes a fingerprint reading. The TQ600  
compares their fingerprint to all of the fingerprint templates stored  
in the terminal. 1:N verification takes more time than 1:1  
verification. The verification time is dependent on the number of  
fingerprint templates stored in the terminal.  
1) Place finger on the sensor surface, the following appears:  
FP Verify  
Remove Finger  
2) It continues for about 0.5 seconds. If the test is successful, the  
following appears:  
Verify  
User ID 00001  
Verified.  
3) If your identity cannot be verified, you are prompted to try  
again, the following appears:  
FP Verify  
Please Try Agn.  
It continues for about 0.5 seconds, return to the start-up window.  
- 26 -  
Password Verification  
A password 1 to 5 digits long is used to validate authentication.  
Password verification can be used in special cases, i.e., when all of  
a user’s fingerprints are damaged. This method of verification  
does not provide the security of biometric identification and should  
only be used when absolutely necessary. Note: when a user with  
an enrolled password attempts (1:1) verification the TQ600 will ask  
for the User’s password and the user will not have the option of  
taking a fingerprint reading.  
1) To verify a password, enter your ID number, the following
