Overview of the Unified Client for Samsung Smart UX

The Unified Client for Samsung Smart UX provides copy control, scanning, and secure printing implemented on the Smart UX SDK. Embedded on the MFP, Unified Client for Samsung Smart UX controls access to the MFP, and acts as the gateway for Kofax functionality. Users must authenticate to gain access to Kofax-controlled device functions.

Use Device Registration Service (DRS) to deploy the embedded client on devices and configure it to either or both capture and print on a client. Capture (with process and route) functionality is supported by Kofax AutoStore, while print management may be supported by Equitrac.

If using Equitrac only or combined Equitrac and Autostore deployments, users must authenticate to gain access to Kofax-controlled device functions. Unified Client for Samsung Smart UX communicates with Kofax servers and tracks user activity. During a user session, device activity is captured by the Equitrac server.

The Unified Client for Samsung Smart UX provides device authentication with a single application for Equitrac Follow-You Printing and scanning into AutoStore workflows. This client secures access to devices, allows the user to toggle between Follow-You Printing and scanning, provides card reader support, searchable billing codes at device login, and job accounting.

The Unified Client for Samsung Smart UX supports AutoStore and Equitrac authentication through user name and password, card identification (ID) with an optional personal identification number (PIN), and card swipe with an optional PIN.

The following operation modes are provided:

  • When Equitrac is installed, it controls access to the MFP and when the user walks up to the device they see a login screen
  • When Equitrac is not installed, AutoStore only provides the scanning functionality and when the user walks up to the device, they have to start the Kofax application to gain access to Scan functionality
    Note: The Kofax application may prompt for identification before showing the workflows, if configured.
