Points to note about the Fingerprint Utility
The user should back up the user profile information when using the functions provided in this software to encrypt files or folders. If this software or the user information is deleted without backing up the user profile information, the encrypted files will no longer be accessible. In addition, if the backup data is not used, the user will not be identified as the same user even if the same name is used again in user enrolment. Please refer to the following procedures to back up. If Windows XPs file encryption function EFS (Encryption File System) is used to encrypt a file, the file cannot be further encrypted using the encryption function of this software. In the help file, it is stated that this software's Password Bank function can be used for the Internet and general applications. However, the Internet Password Bank function in the fingerprint utility provided in this computer can only be used with Internet Explorer.
You can back up the fingerprint data or the information registerd to
Password Bank. Please use Import or Export User Data menu on Fingerprint Software Management. Please note the files in Mysafe is not backed up with this menu. Fingerprint data can be enrolled up to twenty one patterns. Fingerprint data is stored into the nonvolatile memory in the finger print sensor. Deleting fingerprint data with Delete menu on Fingerprint Software Management before you dispose the computer is recommended.

This is a feature that allows the user to complete the authentication for both the User/BIOS Password (and optionally, the Hard Disk Drive and Supervisor sub-passwords) and logging on to Windows using only one fingerprint authentication when booting up. It is necessary to register the User/BIOS Password and Windows Logon password before using the Fingerprint Power-on Security and this Fingerprint Single Sign On Feature. Please use TOSHIBA Password Utility to register your User/BIOS Password. If Windows Logon is not the default for your system, see Manual to register your Windows Logon password. Only one fingerprint authentication is required to replace the User/BIOS Password (and, if selected, the Hard Disk Drive and Supervisor subpasswords) and Windows Logon password.
How to Enable Fingerprint Single Sign-On Feature

Fingerprint utility limitations
TOSHIBA does not guarantee that the Fingerprint utility technology will be completely secure or error-free. TOSHIBA does not guarantee that the Fingerprint utility will accurately screen out unauthorized users at all times. TOSHIBA is not liable for any failure or damage that might arise out of the use of the fingerprint software or utility.

How the Swipe the Finger

Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration or authentication will help to minimize authentication failures: 1. Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch the sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you. While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you until the sensor surface becomes visible. Ensure the center of the fingerprint is on the sensor when swiping the finger. Avoid swiping with the finger stiff or pressed-on too hard. Fingerprint reading may fail if the center of the fingerprint is not touching on the sensor, or when finger is swiped while pressing hard. Make sure that the center of the fingerprint is touching the sensor before swiping. Confirm the center of the fingerprint whirl before swiping. The thumb's fingerprint has a bigger whirl, which is prone to misalignment and distortions. This will cause difficulty in registration and a drop in the authentication success rate. Always confirm the center of the fingerprint whirl so that it is swiped along the centerline of the sensor. When fingerprint reading is not successful. There is a possibility of authentication failures if the finger is swiped too quickly or too slowly. Follow the onscreen instructions to adjust the speed of the swipe.

DVD+R (Double Layer): DVD-R (Double Layer):
If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors may occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or damage before you use it. The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW or DVD-RW/+RW/-RAM is affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used. There are two types of DVD-R: authoring and general use discs. Do not use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a computer drive. Only 1 layer of DVD-R DL media is supported. Therefore you cannot write to the additional disc space. If your data is less than DVD-R (SL) capacity, it is suggested to use DVD-R (SL) media. You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You cannot use a disc with a 2.6 GB single-sided capacity or 5.2 GB double-sided capacity. Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be able to read DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs. Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/+R disc cannot be deleted either in whole or in part. Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW and DVD-RW/+RW/-RAM disc cannot be recovered. Check the content of the disc carefully before you delete it. If multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to delete data from the wrong drive. In writing to a DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW disc, some disc space is required for file management, so you may not be able to write the full capacity of the disc. Since the disc is based on the DVD-R/-RW standard, it will be filled with dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write only a small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data. Two types of DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs are on the market: data and video. Use a video disc to store video data. You can use video discs on a DVD recorder as well as on your computer's DVD-ROM drive. You cannot use data discs on a DVD recorder.
