You read the instructions or maybe even common sense... but still read the instructions beforehand because it is the right way. =)

What is the disadvantage of a fingerprint scanner?

Ignoring the problems that biometric devices often have of false negatives (i.e. the scanner doesn't recognise you because you didn't put your finger on it correctly), one problem with using any biometric device (such as a fingerprint scanner) is that if someone figures out a way to "spoof" (fool) the scanner, there is no way to change your fingerprint. For example, if my credit card is stolen I can cancel it. If my password is stolen, I can change it. If someone has my fingerprints, well, I guess there is nothing I can do to stop them from accessing whaterver system they unlock.

Who invented fingerprint scanner?

In 1963, Mitchell Trauring of Hughes Research Lab, published the first paper “Automatic Comparison of Fingerprint Ridge Patterns,” on automated personal identification. In 1975, the FBI began funding the development of scanners and extracting technology. It took decades to develop methods of digital file compression that maintained image quality, classification, extraction of elements and matching (M40 algorithm). In 1994, the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) competition was held. Lockheed Martin was selected to build the IAFIS. The system was to address digital fingerprint acquisition, ridge characteristic extraction and ridge characteristic pattern matching. Aside from the development of software applications that read fingerprints or other permanent traits, the first use of cataloguing of fingerprints was by Juan Vucetich in 1891 in Argentina. Later, criminal identification based on physical elements (anthropometry) by Aphonse Bertillon, of France, improved the practice. Later, in the mid-1800s, Francis Galton created a fingerprint classification system. The Henry Classification system was used from the late 1800s to sort fingerprints by physiological characteristics. Named for Sir Edward Henry, it was developed in British India with Hem Chandra Bose and Azizul Haque.
