Introduction
With OFIS scanner, users can perform fingerprint template registration in TCMS v3 / Ingress or use the OFIS scanner as a Time Attendance Device for verification (OFIS TA). The following will explain the steps and procedure to either use the OFIS scanner device as fingerprint template registrations or as a Time Attendance Device (OFIS TA).
First of all, download and Install OFIS Scanner Driver and Ofis Client Driver from the below links:
Important Note: During the installation of the driver, please make sure that you right click and run as administrator.
Once finished, please restart your PC and after the restart, you need to plug in the OFIS scanner until you hear a short "Beep" sound from the scanner, as a sign of successful activation.
Fingerprint Template Registration in TCMS V3 / Ingress
After you have plugged in the OFIS scanner, you can register the fingerprint template of the user in TCMS V3 or Ingress without adding the OFIS scanner in the Device Module. Go to Users Module and select Registration.
Select the User ID, Fingerprint algorithm and finger to be registered. Click Save.
Time Attendance Device for Clocking Verification (OFIS TA)
If you want to use the OFIS scanner as a verification device for the user, you have to add and activate the device in the Device module. Once the OFIS scanner has been successfully added and activated as OFIS TA, the device will act as a Time Attendance device for verification of the users.
Go to Monitoring Module> Click OFIS TA> and if the verification is successful, the data will be recorded as a clocking data for users that are verified. Single "Beep" sound from the scanner remarks the user fingerprint is able to be verified and double "Beep" sound from the scanner notifies that the user has failed to verify.
You may check this user clocking data is already saved in the data audit list as the clocking data of the user.

INTRODUCTION
Integration of OFIS TA with FingerTec's latest software solutions, Ingress and TCMS V3, provides a highly secured, yet simple and affordable solution for
fingerprint enrollment as well as for
user verification. With OFIS scanners, users can perform template registrations from an enrolment station PC for attendance verification purposes or for fingerprint template transference to other remote FingerTec biometric devices .
BENEFIT
OFIS TA integration to Ingress and TCMS V3 software offers a precise template enrolment, in addition to its fast verification execution. The OFIS TA scanners are capable of handling both 1:1 (verification where your stored fingerprint template is called first to match with the live fingerprint template) and 1:N verification (verification where the device searches for the fingerprint template that matches the live fingerprint template) methods. The integration of OFIS scanners are facilitated with
real-time monitoring feature upon every single user verification and it allows an unlimited number of enrolments and verifications based on the PC's capacity.
