Using the fingerprint reader (select models only)
Integrated fingerprint readers are available on select computer models. In order to use the fingerprint
reader, you must set up a user account and password on the computer and then register one or more
fingerprints using HP SimplePass software.
Locating the fingerprint reader
The fingerprint reader is a small metallic sensor that is located in one of the following areas of your
computer:
●
Near the bottom of the TouchPad
●
On the right side of the keyboard
●
On the upper-right side of the display
●
On the left side of the display
Depending on your computer model, the reader may be oriented horizontally or vertically. Both
orientations require that you swipe your finger perpendicular to the metallic sensor. See
Buttons,
speakers, and fingerprint reader (select models only) on page 9 for the location of the finger print
reader on your computer.
