What kind of device is a fingerprint biometric that you are talking about, I dont have any idea about same. Where did you get this device from? Go the manufacturer website and check for what exact purpose this device is used for or give us a bit of more information in details, so that we would be able to help you out to solve your querie.

After you purchase any Biometric device then the dealer should also give a CD with the API to interact with that instrument. You will need to check for the CD and then get the proper API to interact with the hardware that you use. If you dont have the CD then go to its official manufacturer and then download the API for the Biometric device.

There must be a software available for the Biometric device and that software should have all the required logic and methods to connect with other softwares. So you will get the required software from them only and you have to install it to your system and then through their API, you can try to connect with the hardware device that you want. Hope this helps you out.
