Out-of-Browser Clock+ and Biometric Reader Installation

To use biometric verification on the Clock+, you need to install a driver for your external biometric reader on your Windows operating system. Also, the Clock+ supports biometrics only in the out-of-browser (OOB) version of the clock that you must install as a standalone application in Windows if you want to use fingerprint authentication. You install both the OOB Clock+ and the biometric drivers as a part of the same installation process using the same .exe file.

For information about enabling biometric verification on the Clock+, see Biometric Verification and Fingerprint Enrollment.

You install both the OOB Clock+ and the biometric service and drivers as a part of the same installation process using the same .exe file. These processes are described in the procedures below:

• Install the Out-of-Browser Clock+
• Install the Biometric Driver
• Launch and Register the Out-of-Browser Clock+
• Connect Your Biometric Reader to Your Computer
