If the punch was unsuccessful follow the online instructions on the display or press the C key to clear/cancel the current transaction and try again. 3. Have the employee clock IN and OUT by using both of their registered fingers. This will insure that both fingers are usable and the employee has a full understanding on how to use the TCD. a. If the TCD is always prompting for the employee ID number, have the employee enter their 7 digit employee ID number followed by the check mark key { }. i. Make sure to check their finger placement. (See page 4) ii. Try pressing a little harder or softer. If one of the registered fingers does not work, we suggest you delete and re-enroll the employee and try using a different finger.

9 Troubleshooting Enrollment Problems If you are receiving the message Fingerprint Template Not Found. How it works: The system looks for all active non-exempt job(s) for the employee. Only these jobs are sent to the TCD s in ascending order which will be displayed accordingly on the TCD. The first active non-exempt TCD job will be the employees Home TCD group where enrollment or re-enrollment must take place. NOTES: If an employee has multiple non-exempt jobs and one of those jobs become terminated the Home TCD Group assignment may change. If HR moves a job(s) around this may also affect the Home TCD group assignment for the employee. Examples: Reason 1 You may have entered the employee ID number incorrectly. Verify in PeopleSoft that you have the correct employee ID number. Verify the ID# as you key it in on the TCD. Reason 2 The employee is new to the District and does not have a Job Data screen and/or is not listed in the Timesheet summary section of PeopleSoft. Verify with your payroll contact that the employee has the job listed in both Job Data and Timesheet Summary. o If the employees non-exempt job is not listed in timesheet summary then you will NOT be able to enroll. o Verify that the Payroll Status is Active in Job Data. o Verify that the Effective Date is greater than the current date in Job Data. o Verify that the Date Created is greater than the current date in Job Data. If the employee status is Active and both Effective Date and Date Created are greater than the current date then the TCDGroup@palmbeachschools.org that the employee is not listed in the timesheet summary section. Be sure to include the employees name, ID number and job record number. 9

10 Troubleshooting Enrollment Problems Reason 3 The employee is not in the correct department number. Verify with your payroll contact that the employee is listed in the correct department number in Job Data. o If not, then the payroll contact must submit a Job Action Request to HR with the correct department number. Once completed by HR the TCD will be updated on the following business day. Reason 4 Employee has multiple jobs at multiple locations. i.e.) John Doe has a primary exempt job (Teacher) record 0 at School A, a non-exempt job (Tutor) record 1 at School B and a non-exempt job (Tutor) record 2 at School A. Because School B holds the first active non-exempt job (Record 1) this job becomes their Home TCD group where enrollment must take place. Job Rcd# Job Description School Job type 0 Teacher A Exempt 1 Tutor B Non-Exempt 2 Tutor A Non-Exempt After the employee is enrolled at School B they will be able to clock at School A but because this is not their Home TCD group they will always be prompted for their ID# when clocking at School A (clocking as a Visitor). Verify with the employee if they are still actively working the job at School B If No, i. Then contact School B to have them terminate the job via Online Job Action. Once the job has been terminated by HR the Home TCD group will change to School A. The TCD s will get the updated information on the following business day after HR has made the changes. Now you will be able to enroll at School A and the employee will no longer be prompted for their ID# each time they clock IN or OUT at School A. If Yes, i. Then the employee will need to go to School B for enrollment or send an to the TCDGroup@palmbeachschools.org so we can further understand the employees work site schedule. 10

11 Troubleshooting Enrollment Problems Enrollment Failed 1. TCD displays the following: Enrollment Failed REASONS: o Employee is not placing their finger on the reader correctly. o Employee is not leaving their finger on the reader long enough (at least 3 seconds). o Employee has pressed too hard or soft Press firmly o Fingerprint may be too shallow to get a good reading. ACTION: o Try enrolling the employee again making sure they are placing their finger straight and flat with firm pressure on the Fingerprint Reader until the TCD displays remove the finger. o Try enrolling a different set of fingers or different combinations of fingers (Index, thumb or middle fingers) until two fingers have been successfully enrolled. You can only enroll two fingers at a time. o If you cannot enroll one finger from each hand then try using two fingers from one hand. If enrollment is still unsuccessful please send an to TCDGroup@palmbeachschools.org with the following information; a) Employee name b) Employee ID number c) Department number d) List the problem(s) you are having 11

12 1. Finger Placement (See figure 1) Troubleshooting Fingerprint Problems Finger needs to be straight and flat on the Fingerprint Reader at a 45 degree angle. For best results place the finger where the fingernail starts to grow (indicated by green arrow) between the two middle rows of dots (indicated by the red lines) on the Fingerprint Reader. 2. Pressure being applied (too hard or too soft). Figure 1 3. Removing the finger from the Fingerprint Reader too quickly (leave the finger on the Fingerprint Reader for at least 3 seconds). 4. Make sure fingers are clean (no excessive dirt, grime or lotions.) 5. If employee was wearing plastic/latex gloves, they will need to rinse their hands before punching. (It is best to pat the hands dry leaving them a little moist) 6. Dry skin Try pressing a little harder. Apply small amount of moisture/lotion to the finger. *Delete and re-enroll using different fingers. 7. Change/New Medication (*delete and re-enroll). 8. Chemo/Radiation treatments (*delete and re-enroll). 9. Cut on the registered finger (try the other registered finger, *delete and re-enroll). 10. Fingerprint Reader may be scratched. All users will have trouble clocking IN or OUT. Please contact the TCDGroup@palmbeachschools.org 11. Fingerprint Reader has residue on it. (Clean with a soft damp cloth; DO NOT use rough paper towels). 12. Cold weather and/or body temperature (Cold weather causes the skin to become dry making it harder for the fingerprint scanner to read the fingerprint). This may be corrected by rubbing the hands and fingers together until they are warm and/or washing the hands. *If you delete and re-enroll, you might also have to try registering using different fingers (thumb, middle, pinky etc.) in combination with applying moisture to the fingers. 12

Error message Time Out when any employee clocks IN or OUT. 4. Error message Storage Full 5. During the enrollment process you see -1 users in DB on the Admin screen, press the C key to cancel. a. Go back into the Admin screen and if the display is still showing -1 users in DB, press C to cancel and reboot. b. If after the reboot you still see the -1 users in DB, send an to TCDGroup@palmbeachschools.org with the following information; i. Location ID # (school site number) ii. TCD IP Address iii. TCD location (admin, café, SACC, custodian) iv. Nature of the problem How to reboot 1. Unplug the power cord 2. Enter the PIN# Press the check mark key { } 4.
