Registering Swipe Cards

When a user swipes an unregistered card, they are required to login to the device with valid user credentials in order to register their card. The information the user must enter depends upon the authentication options that are set in Web System Manager.

To self-register a user swipe card, do the following:

  1. Swipe the magnetic stripe card, proximity card, or Campus Card at the USB card reader attached to the device. The login screen indicates that the card is not recognized, and you need to log in to register the card.
  2. Enter your User ID (and Password if configured to prompt for Secondary PIN) using the on-screen soft keyboard, or the hard keys on the MFP front panel.
    Touch the keyboard icon beside the entry field to bring up the soft keyboard. Alternatively, you can use a USB keyboard connected directly to the device
  3. Press Login & Release Print Jobs or Login & Access Functions.
The swipe card is registered once the login credentials have been authenticated by CAS. The user can now access Follow-You Printing or access the copy, scan, and fax device functions.

The next time the user swipes their card they can log in without manually entering their User ID. Depending on how Web System Manager is configured, the user may be prompted for their password.
