Enrolment is the operation of assigning a tag ID, scanning a fingerprint, determining the quality of the fingerprint scan, and storing a good template with associated data within the memory of the reader.

Verification is the operation of entering a PIN number (user tag), requesting the user to place their finger on the fingerprint reader, scanning the finger, comparing the current scan against stored fingerprint templates for that user, and then notification of a successful validation or a failure.

Identification is the operation of requesting the user to place their finger on the fingerprint reader, scanning the finger, comparing the current scan against all stored fingerprint templates (regardless of user), and, if the user is in the database, identifying the user.

Fingerprint Template is the term used to describe the data stored on the reader that mathematically represents the ridge pattern of an enrolled fingerprint.
