Configure the cards reader

Principle

If users authenticate using a card, it is necessary to install and configure the cards reader before installing the Ricoh SOP Gen2 WES.
Ricoh® printing devices have a generic plug-in installed by default that can handle most cards readers, including the Elatec® brand cards readers that Watchdoc has been tested with. Consequently, in the most common installations, it is not necessary to install the Elatec® plugin.

Procedure

To configure the cards reader:

  1. connect the card reader to the device;

  2. from the printing device panek, click on User Tools;

  3. then click on Screen Features > Screen Device Settings > IC Card/Bluetooth Software settings or External Device Setting for the gen 2.5 printing devices);

  4. in Select IC Card Reader, choose Proximity Card Reader Support Plugin ;

     

  1. follow the instructions on the screen:

     

  1. when the badge reader is detected, click on the corresponding line to select the software associated with its use(Proximity Card Reader Support Plugin) ;

     

  1. after configuring the badge reader, restart the printing device.
