Using the FingerPrint (FingerPrint sensor is provided with some models)
This product has a FingerPrint utility installed for the purpose of enrolling and recognizing FingerPrints. By enrolling the ID and password to the FingerPrint authentication device, it is no longer necessary to input the password from the keyboard. Just by swiping the finger against the FingerPrint sensor, the following functions will be enabled: Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through IE (Internet Explorer). Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to them prevented. Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from power-saving mode such as Sleep Mode. Power-on Security and Single Sign-On feature. To "swipe" refers to the action of reading a FingerPrint using the FingerPrint sensor.

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. The following illustrations show the correct way to slide your finger over the recognition sensor.

Points to note about the FingerPrint Utility software
You are able to backup saved FingerPrint data and information within the PasswordBank by using the import or Export User Data facility under the FingerPrint management software.

Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite data. Based on TOSHIBA's limited compatibility testing, we suggest the following manufacturers of CD-R/RW and DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM media. However, in no event does TOSHIBA guarantee the operation, quality or performance of any disc. Disc quality can affect write or rewrite success rates. CD-R: TAIYOYUDEN CO., LTD.

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. We can support only Format 1 of DVD-R DL. Therefore you can not do the additional writing. If your data is under DVD-R (SL) capacity, we suggest 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. DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000 without DVD-RAM Driver Software. When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to write to the wrong drive. Be sure to connect the universal AC adapter before you write or rewrite. Before you enter Sleep/Hibernation Mode, be sure to finish DVD-RAM writing. Writing is finished if you can eject DVD-RAM media. Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing software. Do not run software such as a screen saver, which can put a heavy load on the CPU.

System automatic Sleep/Hibernation
This feature automatically turns off the system in Sleep or Hibernation mode if the computer is not used for a set duration. Refer to Special features, in Chapter 1, Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 Series Features for an explanation of how to set the duration.
