Card swipe

This topic describes options for the card swipe login.

This login type supports the following features:

  • Card can be swiped when the Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel is not the active application on the device panel. The Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel performs a login in the background. This is very helpful when the Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel is providing SSO to other applications. The active application could log in the user after receiving the SSO notification.
  • Card can be swiped when the device is in energy-saving sleep mode. The Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel wakes up the device and logs in the user.

If the Require PIN with card swipe option is not selected, the card swipe logs in a user with a registered card ID. If the Require PIN with card swipe option is selected, the user enters a PIN.

If a login fails, the Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel prompts the user to register an ID or PIN, and if the assignment is successful, the user can use the newly card ID or PIN for future logins.
