About
Colormetrics Fingerprint Reader for Your POS
When the lunch rush hits and three staff members need to switch at the till in quick succession, the last thing you want is everyone hunting for their PIN. The Colormetrics fingerprint reader keeps things moving: each person logs in with their own finger, and the till is open in a second.
The reader is built to work with Colormetrics POS systems and is compatible with the P5500, P5100, and P1200. If you already have one of these terminals, the reader connects to your existing setup — no separate installation project, no IT contractor.
Why It Makes Sense on a Busy Counter
In a café, restaurant, or retail shop, several people often share the same till across a single day. When each person logs in with their own fingerprint, you know exactly who opened the till and when. That gives you a clearer picture of activity across shifts — useful if something doesn't add up at the end of the day.
During busy periods — the midday rush, weekend peaks — every second at the counter is time with a customer. A fingerprint reads fast, so logging in doesn't interrupt service.
Compatibility
The reader works with the following Colormetrics models:
- P5500
- P5100
- P1200
Before purchasing, confirm that your terminal is one of these three models. If you're not sure, get in touch with Vaivatta and we'll check compatibility for you.
Getting Started
The reader connects to your terminal following the manufacturer's instructions. No separate software installation is needed, provided your POS is one of the supported models. If you'd like help with setup, Vaivatta can take care of it on your behalf.
For the owner-operator, this comes down to one practical outcome: staff changeovers during a shift run smoothly, no one is locked out because they forgot a code, and you can stay focused on the people in front of you.
