The Secugen Hamster Fingerprint Reader was introduced as a lower cost alternative to the Crossmatch Verifier.  There are 2 versions of the hamster and each requires a different driver installation package.

Installation Instructions

In Windows

1. Unzip and Install the appropriate driver package.
   
2. Create a folder e.g. 'fptemp' under \\servername\dragon for the temporary storage of the fingerprints.
   
3. Copy 3 files into the c:\dragonlocal folder.  The 3 files to copy are: HamsterFingerprintReader.exe, HamsterFingerprintReader.exe.config and SecuGenFDxSDKPro.Windows.dll.  For Scrap Dragon Classic the files can be found in \\servername\dragon\setup\drivers\SecuGenHamster.  For Scrap Dragon Xtreme check with the Help Desk.
4. Scrap Dragon Classic Only - If you are also planning to store and reuse fingerprints, then create a folder 'fp' under your company data directory, e.g. \\servername\dragon\compdata\fp.  If you don't know your company data directory you can look in Back Office; Maintenance; Setup; Company Information.
