====================================================================================

Introduction

----------

This article provides step-by-step instructions for installing the WBF (Windows Biometric Framework) driver on your Windows-based system to enable compatibility with various Digital Persona fingerprint readers, including modules and standalone scanners from the EikonTouch family. The following guide assumes that you have already obtained a compatible reader device.

Hardware Requirements

----------------

- Compatible DigitalPersona EikonTouch Fingerprint Reader/Module (e.g., USB module or stand-alone scanner)

- Windows-based system with an available USB port

Software Requirements

------------------

- Latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher installed on your system

- WBF driver executable file downloaded from the official DigitalPersona website

Installation Steps

---------------

1. Ensure that you have closed all running applications, including any currently active biometric software.

2. Connect your compatible EikonTouch fingerprint reader to an available USB port on your computer.

5. Follow the prompts in the Setup Wizard:

a) Click 'Next' to accept the terms of use and license agreement.

6. Once installation is complete, restart your computer.

Post-Installation Configuration

-----------------------------

1. After system startup, connect your EikonTouch fingerprint reader again if it was previously disconnected during the above steps.

2. Navigate to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > WBF Manager (Windows Vista/7) or simply search for 'WBF' in the Start menu and select 'WBF Settings' (Windows 8/10).

3. In the resulting window, click on 'Add device':

4. Follow any additional prompts to enroll or configure your finger(s), as required by your specific application.
