Disabling biometrics for employees

If a situation arises where an employee’s fingerprints are scarred or cannot be read by the fingerprint scanner, you can disable biometrics so that they can still perform clock punches on the WB5500.

To disable biometrics for an employee:

  1. Select Maintenance > Employees > Employee Badge.
  2. Click the Edit link next to an employee to disable biometrics for them.
  3. Select Turn ON Config Mode from the OPTIONS drop-down list.
  4. Click the orange diamond icon next to the Empbdg Flag 3 check box.
  5. Select CheckboxUI from the Field UI drop-down list.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Select Turn OFF Config Mode from the OPTIONS drop-down list.
  8. Clear the Empbdg Flag 3 check box.
  9. Click Save.
