Kofax Unified Client for Fujifilm

The Kofax Unified Client for Fujifilm provides a unified client for capture and print management functionality on supported Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox devices. The capture (with process and route) functionality within the client is provided by Kofax AutoStore, while the print management capability is provided by Kofax Equitrac or Kofax Output Manager.

The unified client uses the Device Registration Service (DRS) to configure and deploy the embedded client to single or multiple devices, using one of the following server configurations:

  • Server using both AutoStore and Equitrac components.
  • Server using both AutoStore and Output Manager components.
  • Server using the Equitrac component only.
  • Server using the Output Manager component only.
  • Server using the AutoStore component only.

The Unified Client provides device authentication to securely access the device. It provides a single application for Kofax print and capture workflows.

When deployed to the device with Equitrac or Output Manager, the Unified Client controls access to the device and acts as the gateway for Kofax functionality. Users must authenticate to gain access to Kofax-controlled device functions. In this case, the client allows users to select functions, such as Print-to-Me and scanning, from a common Kofax Launcher screen (where users can start the available workflows), provides card reader support, searchable billing codes at device login, and job accounting. It supports Equitrac authentication through user name, password, and card swipe with an optional PIN.

When deployed to the device with AutoStore only, the client does not control access to the device and provides capture workflows from a Kofax Launcher screen.

The Unified Client supports DWS and DCE failover. You can specify up to three additional DWS servers and DCE servers to ensure that the device continues to function for users if your primary DWS or DCE is offline.

The Unified Client for Fujifilm uses HTTPS and TLS 1.3 (if available) or TLS 1.2 to secure the communication and connections between the device and the Kofax servers. To use TLS 1.3, the DRS server and DWS server must both be installed on a Windows systems that supports TLS 1.3.
