Verifying that the Fingerprint Service can load fingerprints from your application

You can verify that the Taskmaster Fingerprint Service can load fingerprints from your application by using the Try Fingerprint Service tool and confirming that it loaded the correct fingerprints during the test.

1. On the Fingerprint Service server, from the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Datacap > Developer > Try Fingerprint Service.
2. Enter the name of your application in the Application Name field.
3. Ensure that the full URL in the Fingerprints URL field is correct. An example of a full URL is http://127.0.0.1/fpservice/Service.asmx?WSDL.
4. Enter the full UNC path to your application's fingerprint directory in the Fingerprint Directory field, then click Upload All Fingerprints From Directory.
5. Confirm that the number in the Fingerprints Loaded field is correct, and that the names of the fingerprint files that are displayed in the right pane are correct.
6. Confirm that the Fingerprint Service can match a fingerprint (.cco file) to one of the loaded fingerprints. In the Find Fingerprint field, browse to or enter the full path to one of the fingerprints that is displayed in the right pane, and then click Find Fingerprint. The results of the fingerprint search and matching process are displayed. The match results are displayed in the format: '1.00;1;0;0' where:
   • The first number (1.00;) is from 0.0 to 1.00 where 0.0 means no match was found, and 1.00 means that an exact match was found.
   • The second number (1;) is the index of the matching fingerprint in the Fingerprint database.
   • The third and fourth numbers (0;0) are the X and Y offset of the test image relative to the stored fingerprint.
7. Close the Try Fingerprint Service window.
