2.7 iPrint Appliance 3 - Highlights

2.7.1 Release Jobs With Identity Cards

A user prints the WalkUp jobs by using their identity card. A card reader is placed adjacent to the printer and the user swipes his/her identity card to print the jobs. The benefits are:

  • Go Green: Saves paper, documents are printed only when users are next to the printer

  • Convenience: All you need is a identity card, no additional logins

  • Simplicity: It is so easy to print a job, just swipe your identity card

For more information, see Identity Card Release for Users.
