I've set up the Touch ID for unlocking but can you start up the phone with finger print?

    No, the fingerprint will not work when starting up the iPhone the first time after having been powered down.

    The answer is stated in the HT5883 article you attached:

     

    If Touch ID doesn't recognize your finger, you'll be asked to try again. After three attempts, you'll be given the option of entering your passcode. After two more tries, you will need to enter your passcode. In addition, you will need to enter your passcode to unlock your iPhone in these conditions:

    • After restarting your iPhone 5s
    • When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
    • To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting

    As noted in the article you linke from:

     

    In addition, you will need to enter your passcode to unlock your iPhone in these conditions:

    • After restarting your iPhone 5s
    • When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s

    Perhaps re-reading the entire article will answer any other questions you may have about TouchID

     

    Best of luck.
