Use Follow-You Printing with ApeosPort-IV devices

If you configured the Follow-You Printing extension, users can access the Follow-You Printing screen to view their print jobs from one or more secure queues, and then release or delete the jobs as required.

To use the Follow-You Printing feature, do the following:

  1. On the MFP Login screen, enter your User ID in the Registered User field, or swipe your card. If Web System Manager is configured to prompt for Secondary PIN, the user may also need to enter their password.
    Depending on how Web System Manager is configured, one of the following occurs after user authentication:
    • The MFP Service screen opens, and the user must touch the Follow You button to proceed to the Follow-You Printing application to release their documents.
    • The Billing Code screen opens, and the user must enter a billing code before proceeding to Follow-You Printing. If the user has only one associated billing code, then the prompt is suppressed, and the billing code is automatically applied to the job.
  2. If the Billing Code screen opens, do the following:
    1. Touch the Billing Code field to open a soft keyboard, enter the billing code, and then touch OK. Alternatively, you can use the front panel numeric keypad to enter a billing code.
    2. If the billing code entered is invalid, or you do not know the code, touch the Search button. A search page opens displaying all matching billing codes. The screen displays up to 100 billing codes that match the search. Use the Up/Down arrows to browse through the pages.
    3. Touch the correct billing code from the list to select it, and touch OK to use the selected billing code.
      Once the billing code is validated, the Billing Code screen closes, and the MFP Service screen opens.
  3. On the MFP Service screen, press the Follow You button to open the Follow-You Printing application.
  4. If configured in Web System Manager to prompt for a release key on the device, the Release Key screen opens. Enter the release key and click OK to continue to the Follow-You Printing screen.
  5. All documents on the users’ Home print server, default server, or both are shown in the screen. Users can then perform the following functions at the device:
Function Description
Print Touch one or more documents in the list, then press Print to print the documents and delete the jobs from the list.

Print & Save

Touch one or more documents in the list, then press Print & Save to print the documents but keep the jobs in the list.
Delete Touch one or multiple documents in the list, then press Delete to delete the jobs from the queue without printing them.
Select All Selects all jobs in the list, after which you can press Print, Print & Save, or Delete.
Server

If multiserver Follow-You Printing is enabled on the Equitrac server, press Server to display a list of authorized network print servers. If you select another server from the list, the Follow-You Printing screen refreshes to show any print jobs waiting on the other server.

If multiserver Follow-You is not enabled, you only see the local server listed.

For multiserver Follow-You Printing configuration information, see the “Advanced Printing Configuration” chapter in the Kofax Equitrac Administration Help.

Refresh Checks the DCE server to determine if any new pending jobs are available for the current user. If any print jobs are found, they are added to the bottom of the document list.
Exit Returns to the Custom Services screen.
Force Monochrome Allows a user to force a color job to print in black & white.
Number of Copies

Press the Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons to change the number of copies for the selected print job(s).

If the number of copies is changed at the MFP, a confirmation page appears verifying the number of copies to print. Press OK to continue, or Cancel to leave the number of copies at 1.

By default, the number of copies is reset to 1 after the selected job prints. If more than 1 copy is desired for additional print jobs, the number of copies must be set again before the next job is released.

If configured in Web System Manager to prompt for a billing code at job release, enter the billing code and press OK to release the print job(s).

To end your user session, press Log In/Out on the device control panel. Terminating a Session

You can terminate a current session in two ways:

  • Touch User ID at the top-right of the Billing Code screen, and select Logout from the list.
  • Press the Log In/Out hard key on the front panel.
