If you use the ATS Maximus clock, one of the most common tasks you will perform is enrolling new employees into the biometric scanner. In this short video, Matthew Roe, the training manager at EmpowerTime, will walk you through the simple steps of employee enrollment. And if you've been using the time clock for a while, you will find the cleaning instructions helpful for restoring full strength to your biometric finger scanner.

Here are the steps the supervisor must follow:

• Step 1: Press the enroll key
• Step 2: The supervisor should enter his or her unlock key when prompted
• Step 3: Enter the employee's badge number
• Step 4: The employee should place his or her finger on the scanner when prompted
• Step 5: The clock will confirm enrollment

If the enrollment does not succeed on the first finger placement, the system will allow four more attempts before displaying "Enroll Failed." If you are having trouble getting fingers to scan, try cleaning the sensor as described in the above video. Try to avoid scanning thumbs and pinkies, as these fingers are not optimal for the scanner.
