1 out of 10 isn't practical so it shouldn't be like that. I'm getting
roughly 4 OKs out of 5 (which is still somewhat low and can be attributed
to the quality if images the scanner produces with swiping; I also have a
Validity sensor and it blows my Elan out of the water).

1. Try to get some visual feedback. There's a tool called fprint_demo. You
can enroll and verify there. It shows images and detected minutiae. There
aren't any good guidelines but in general try and see if the overall image
looks good. Areas where the frames intersect should look as seamless as
possible (seams produce false minutiae). The number of detected minutiae
should be at least over 30. If possible, please send images you get with
examples/img_capture. Which finger you scan doesn't matter (you can use
someone else's if you still happen to have one from Halloween).

2. These Elans need a slower and steadier swipe than dedicated swipe fp
readers. I mean the ones that were built for swipe. I think it takes me
about 3 seconds to do a swipe. Pay attention to the tip of the finger:
because the tip is curved it's hard to assemble a good image of it. I must
say it does take some practice...
