the finger to be scanned on the scan-
ner, and do not move the finger until

rect chapped fingers. If the area of

or too thin (outside of the finger width
range of 10 mm to 25 mm), a correct
image cannot be created and scan-
ning may not be completed. Try wid-
ening your finger or inserting it
deeper or less deep into the scanner.
