    4. Type the Server Port to be used.
      The recommended port number is 80.
    5. Click the Restart server check box.
    6. Click Apply.
  2. Prepare the printer connected to the RF IDeas Ethernet 241 Card Reader to process a secure document.
    1. From the Output Manager Console menu bar, select Applications > Manage Devices, and select the SNMP server row.

    9. From the Output Manager Console menu bar, select Tools > Universal PS Driver Wizard and click the Match with existing OM destinations radio button to create a source to match to the new pending queue in the IE_Secure group.
    10. Using the printer properties of the new printer device, print a Test Page.
      This document is listed in the documents of the destination pending queue as ready to print.
    11. At the printer, find your RF IDeas card ID by tapping the RFIDeas Ethernet 241 reader with the card. Then check the cns entry in the most recent log in the C:\Program Files\Kofax\Output Manager\Services\Clients\RFIDeas241Reader\Logs\ folder.
    12. From the Output Manager Console menu bar, select Applications > Administration > Manage Users and select the user that printed the document.

      The test document is released when the card is swiped again at the RFIDeas Ethernet 241.

Once a document has been released and you have enough licenses, a 3rd party card reader check box on the Device Details tab is automatically selected.

To release a license from this device, clear the 3rd party card reader check box and click Apply. You can then use this license for another device.
