| Enrolling employee fingers: You can enroll or re-enroll employee fingers from the finger print manager menu. To access the manager menu you will hit the number 3 on the clock. Each employee should be associated with a card number or PIN number that you will enter on the timekeeping web site in the "card number" field. To enroll an employee, enter the employee ID number, and then follow the prompts to enroll and verify the finger print. What happens when you enroll Your finger print reader does not actually store any finger print images. Rather, it simply memorizes key points on the finger print that can be used to recognize that same print later. The key points are simply a short string of numbers. Each number string is referred to as a "template". The templates are stored on your finger print reader, and not in the TRANZ terminal, with one exception. When you perform an enrollment, a copy of the template is temporarily saved in the terminal so it can be transmitted to the server. The server then sends a copy of that finger print template to all the other clocks belonging to the same client. After wards, the only copy (besides the backup on the server) is in each of the finger print readers themselves. Each finger print you enroll will appear to add 3 or 4 punches to the outgoing batch, which will be transmitted to the payroll server upon next transmit. The terminal's memory is limited, especially the TRANZ 330. You may find that after enrolling 20 to 40 employees on a TRANZ 330, the terminal will tell you its memory is full and ask you to transmit. The only way to free up the memory is to transmit the enrollments to the server, which will take about 5 to 8 minutes. Once this is done, you can enroll another batch of 20 to 40 employees. Only the TRANZ 330 has this limitation - the TRANZ 380 is unlikely to ask you to do this. Regardless, this does not limit the total employees that can actually use a single clock. The maximum is approximately 1,900 employees - the capacity of the reader - regardless of whether used with the TRANZ 330 or 380.
