Scanning considerations
|
|
| 1. | Registration of fingerprints requires 3 sample scans
|
|
|
| 2. | When registering other forms of id, you may need to scan several times, when the same value is read a reasonable number of times (to be confident it was recorded correctly) then the registration sequence will complete. This is typically 2 scans if you have a good reader the item being scanned is in good condition. It could be more if the card or barcode has deteriorated.
|
|
|
| 3. | Fingerprint scanning is usually highly accurate (if using a good scanner), magnetic strips and barcode scanning can vary in accuracy.
|
|
|
| 4. | If you experience trouble scanning an item with a swipe reader, particularly with barcodes, try slowing down the scan. Barcode readers tend to operate better if they are swiped slower.
|
|
|
| 5. | When printing your own barcodes, stick to larger fonts (14 or 18 point) to ensure hardware readability.
|
|
|
| 6. | When associating a new scannable ID with either a student or a stock item, It's a good idea to first scan the item, or type in the code, and see if Full Contact™ matches it in the database. Otherwise, if you register the same item against more than one member and/or stock item at a time, it may not be predictable which item will match when it is scanned.
