| PrintReader (TimeClock) - Server Transfer for the Fingerprint Reader for the 330/380 (Downloading Mode) | ||||||
| ||||||
Under normal circumstances, any time you enroll or delete a finger the template is automatically transmitted to the server and then passed on to each additional clocks. For one reason or another, you may wish to do a fingerprint redownload to ensure that the PrintReader has a fresh copy of everyone's fingerprint. One reason you may do this is to delete a large number of terminated employee's fingerprint templates. Although you can easily delete fingers from the clock, the clock will not automatically delete fingerprints if you terminate employees from the web site. That is, unless you perform a full erase and download. During a full erase and download, employees marked as terminated on the timekeeping website are skipped. This saves memory slots for active employees. The download mode is changed by going into the Fingerprint Manager menu (Pressing 3 and entering the manager's password) and selecting option 5. The clocks have four different configurations: Mode I - Normal/Incremental. Your clock will spend most of the time in this mode. In this mode, the clock will receive new enrollments from other clocks each time it connects. Mode F - Full Erase and Download. When the clock connects, it will delete all fingerprints from its memory and then redownload the fingerprint templates for the entire employee roster. This could take a while (approximately 1 minute per 6 employees). This mode is initially selected when you install the reader and clear the memory. During the download, employees marked as "terminated" in the timekeeping system will be skipped, unless their fingers have been enrolled in the past 10 days. The manager fingerprint will be lost during this process, and will need to be re-enrolled afterward. If there are new enrollments in the terminal's memory waiting to be transmitted, you will have to transmit twice - once to transmit the new enrollments, and again to perform the erase and full download. Once this is completed, the clock will automatically switch to mode I (Normal/Incremental). Mode P - Partial / Missing Prints Only. When the clock connects, the server will compare the online database with the clock's own database and will transmit only the fingerprints that the clock appears to be missing. After this is completed, the clock will switch to mode I (Normal/Incremental). The manager fingerprint will not be lost. Mode N - No Download. This mode is ideal for multiple-clock clients with distinct geographic locations, where the clock-to-clock copying of fingerprints is unwanted. Although the clock will transmit new enrollments to the server (which can then be restored later if needed), the clock will not request any updates of any kind to the fingerprint database from the server. This mode stays in effect until you change it. The only way to update the database is to enroll or delete employees locally, or to switch to another mode. After you change the download mode, you should exit the manager menu, and then press 9 to transmit.
