    When using the Enrollment programme to register fingerprint, even in manual mode, I can only register poor quality prints. My fingerprint have got plenty of burn mark/scars on them, from life in general. Out of 76 swipes I have registered 2 good quality images.

    Has anyone else had this?

    Is your external or internal? Make sure your hands are clean. That's my only advice.

    Sorry,

    My finger was warm, and I swiped it fast and slow. It made no difference if my finger, or the reader, was clean or not.
