Card readers

Card readers are devices that read identity or access cards. In Docuflair they let users sign in at the multifunction printer with their card — to collect pull print jobs or to identify themselves for the cost allocation, for example.

You reach the card reader management through the menu navigation under Devices > Card readers. This is where you configure rules that carry out actions automatically when a card is read at a multifunction device.

Permission required

To access this function you need the following permission:

• Show card readers (AdminUI_DeviceManagement_ListCardReaders)

You grant permissions through groups — see permissions – overview.
