ZKTeco F18 Quick Start Guide

Place the finger you wish to enroll on the sensor, ensuring the finger is placed flat and
centered.
Hold the finger still for at least two full seconds until the F18 prompts with a beep to remove
it. You will then be prompted to repeat the process 2 more times, each time using the
very SAME finger.
Notice that every time the F18 successfully records the user’s fingerprint, each of the 3
green bars will become highlighted until all 3 bars ____ ____ ____ are eventually
highlighted.
After 3 successful fingerprint “recordings”, the user’s fingerprint template is now
successfully registered in the F18 database.
Press OK if you would like to continue recording additional fingerprint/templates.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that users register at least one finger from each
hand.
Since the fingerprint sensor may have difficulty reading fingers with cuts or scratches,
having a “backup” finger(s) registered ensures that the user will always be recognized by
the F18. If one finger is temporarily rendered “unreadable” by recent cuts or scratches, the
user can use their backup finger.
After fingerprint registration is completed, press the ESC key to return to the New User
menu.
c) Enroll New User Password (PWD)
NOTE: A password is NOT required. However, a password can be used if a user is having
difficulty having his/her fingerprint recorded or recognized by the F18.
From within the New User Menu, scroll with the ▲/▼keys until the cursor is in the PWD
field. Notice Enroll Pwd will become highlighted:Press OK to accept selection.
