I would advise using the barcode method - slide the passport - kept closed - on to the glass paten and hold it in place to the top left edge. Complete opposite to the UK e-gate. It isn't much fun watching people in front of you opening up passports in assorted directions trying to get it to work. Then it's the forefinger, not the thumb (the diagram is a little confusing on that one).
