If true, that's an interesting factoid. I would have assumed most people had better prints on left hand because they use it less (90% are right handed).

Anyway, another reason to try to use the right hand is the machine is set up with the scanner for prints on the right, so it will be easier not to move over, or cross your hand over (with an awkward angle).
