Biometrics Support

(Maitre'D 2002, and later versions of Maitre'D)

Maitre'D supports Biometrics devices (fingerprints) to log servers to their tables. This is the most secure way your system can be. With this type of validation, only the employees themselves can access their functions, as well as tables, except for managers and head servers.

P.O.S. Control / Employees / Configuration / Functions / Setup

Access Setup:

Enable this option to give access to the employee (manager or head server), who will assist employees when first scanning their fingerprints.
Note: In Maitre'D 2002, this option was named Biometrics Setup. You can NOT use Biometrics devices and magnetic cards for employees on the same system.

P.O.S. Control / Workstation / Options / Devices

Biometrics Device:

Choose the device type from the drop-down list.
Note: In Maitre'D 2002, this option was in P.O.S. Control / Workstation / Options / Advanced
