Question: Sometimes, it is necessary to put the finger 3 or 4 times on the reader until the person is recognized, how can that be solved?

Answer:

There are the function GrSetVerifyParameters and GrSetIdentifyParameters
for verification and identification respectively. Both of them expect as
parameters the following integer values:

identifyThreshold The identification score threshold.

identifyRotationTolerance The rotation tolerance for the identification
process.

context Context in which the identification parameters will be set.

In order to reduce false avoidance , you can adjust identifyThreshold
and identifyRotationTolerance , specially identifyThreshold. As
fingerprints are different in each database, we can't give you a specif
number but 30 is a identifyThreshold parameter that usually causes only
1 false rejection in 1000.

We also recommend the storage of at least 3 fingerprints , this prevents that the stored fingerprint was not read properly.
