Fujitsu provides a highly reliable biometric authentication system based on palm vein pattern recognition technology. PalmSecure™ features industry-leading authentication accuracy with extremely low false rates, and non-intrusive and contactless reader device provides ease of use with virtually no physiological restriction for all users. The Fujitsu PalmSecure sensor uses near-infrared light to capture a person's palm vein pattern, generating a unique biometric template that is matched against pre-registered user palm vein patterns. The palm vein device can only recognize the pattern if the blood is actively flowing within the individual's veins, which means that forgery is virtually impossible. Fujitsu™

Warning

If you are installing a palm scanner on a Windows 8 or above operating system, you must have latest M3 sensor with V2 indicated on the bottom of the device.

Although this has not been fully supported or endorsed by Fujitsu, we at MCS have recently learned that both the V30 and V31 drivers can be installed on Windows 8 operating systems. However, for full Fujitsu support, you should install the V31 driver only.
 
Installing Multiple Drivers
 
Windows 8 contains a driver verification enforcement that checks for a digital signature. A digital signature is not associated with the Fujitsu driver. In order to install both drivers, reboot Windows 8 under an advanced mode. This allows you to then disable the driver verification.

Note
  • Only one hand guide setting will operate on one POS terminal. Attempts to run both the Child Hand Guide and the Big Hand Guide on the same terminal will result in an error.
  • You must have the correct driver installed on the POS terminal. Installing both drivers will result in an error.
  • Once a student/customer has been registered on one device, they must continue to use the same device. The other device will not recognize the student/customer. (e.g. Line 1 has the Big Hand Guide installed. Line 2 has the Child Hand Guide installed. John Doe was registered on Line 1. John must continue to use Line 1 for meals served. If he uses Line 2, his palm will not be recognized.)
  • Ensure that you have established device settings correctly for each serving line.
  1. Login to the  Customer Portal and select Download Software from the Common Linkssection.
  2. Locate and click on the Newton folder to open it.
     
  3. Select the Install_FujitsuPalmScannerSupport.v30.exe file or the Install_FujitsuPalmScannerSupport.v31Beta.exe file. 

    Note

    It is important that you download the correct file.

    • Everyone using the large black hand guides will select the .v30 file. 
    • If you are using child hand guides—small guides with red backing—or want to use two palm scanners on the same serving line, you will need to select the .v31Beta file.
    Info

    You may choose individual .v30 or .v31Beta driver files for each school location; however, one school cannot have two different driver files installed in that school accessing both .v30 and .v31Beta files. You must choose one .v driver file for each school location

     

     

    Warning

    Warning: Currently, the .v31Beta file will onlyproperlysupport cafeterias that host a student population of 1,000 students or fewer. If you have a student population that is greater than 1,000 students, MCS recommends using the .v30 file and not utilizing duel scanners or child hand guides.

     

  4. Locate the file if it was downloaded. In the Open File-SecurityWarning window, choose Run at the prompt.
    1. It is recommended that all other applications are closed before proceeding.Click Next on the following Palm Scanner Support Wizard window.
    2. Select the software components to install. Then, click Next.
    3. Once the installation process is complete, click Next.
    4. When you reach the final window, select the Launch Driver Installation option and click Finish to begin the driver installation.
    5. Select a setup language. Then, click Next.
    6. In the Fujitsu PalmScanner Sensor Driver Setup window, click Next to begin installing the sensor driver.

      Note

      If you receive a Windows Logo Testing warning, select Continue Anyway.

    7. Click Finish once the installation is complete.
  5. Connect the palm scanning device.
  6. Establish Serving Line configurations
    1. Login to Newton. 
    2. Locate and click on the Administration and Maintenance tab.
    3. Locate the Serving Line option in the Point-of-Sale Setup ribbon.
    4. Click on the Serving Line option.
  7. In the Serving-Line Maintenance window, select a cafeteria line by clicking on a row or using the drop-down arrow and click the Edit button. If you use the drop-down arrow, be sure to select the proper serving line to install the device.
    1. Click on the Override Settings tab.
    2. Scroll down and locate the Devices section in the parameters.
    3. Once you have located the Devices section click on Customer Input Device #1, then the ellipsis button.
    4. Use the drop-down arrow to locate and select the PalmSecure Scanner.
    5. Establish line setting by using the drop-down arrows.
      1. Auto Identify after Enrolling - Allows the line operator to continue with serving a meal as soon as a student's identification has been successfully established.
      2. Device Index - The device index typically remains at 0.
      3. FRR Level - False Rejection Rate Level establishes sensitivity when completing scanning.
      4. Hand Guide Type - By default, the guide type is set for the Big Hand Guide. If you are using the smaller hand guide or have younger students, the type should be changed to ChildHandGuide.
      5. Prompt to Start Enrollment - Allows the line operator to choose when to begin the enrollment process.

        Note

        MCS highly recommends setting the Prompt to Start Enrollment option to True for elementary schools. Younger children tend to be reluctant about placing their hand on the guide device. With the Prompt to Start Enrollment option is set to false and the nervousness of the younger children, the children have a tendency to slowly place their hand on the device. This results in only a partial capture of the child's palm.

      6. Sensor Direction - Chooses the direction of the sensor.
    6. Click Ok when you have completed adjusting the settings.
    7. Click Ok again to exit out of the Edit Serving Line window.
    8. Click Close in the Serving-Line Maintenance window.
  8. Exit out of Newton. Then, log back in to Newton for all the device settings to take effect.
  9. Test the palm scanning device.
