PUK (Print User Key). In Watchdoc, this is a code associated with a user account to allow the user to authenticate in a WES. The PUK code is generated thanks to an algorithm. The user can consult it in the "My account" page of Watchdoc. For security reasons, we advise against using the PUK code and recommend using a login (user account)/PIN code. code authentication	✔	✔
Login/password authentication	✔	✔
Login/PIN Code PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a code comprising of at least four digits. It is used, for example, on a mobile or smartphone with a SIM card. The term PIN is not exclusively used by mobile phones as a PIN is also used for banking and may refer to any Personal Identification Number comprising of four or more digits. authentication	✖	✖

Card enrolment Action when a user account is assigned to a badge number belonging to them. Enrolment takes place when a badge is used for the first time. Enrolment may be performed by the IT services manager when they issue a badge to a user or by the user themselves by entering their ID (PIN, PUK or ID and password) which is then assigned to their badge number. Once enrolment is complete, the badge number is definitively assigned to their owner. using

Spool Transformation WES function enabling the print properties to be modified during validation (e.g. proposing Black&White printing when the job has been launched in colour or proposing duplex printing when the user has only requested duplex printing). This modification can be proposed or imposed. (Colour> black&White, simplex > duplex)	✔	✔

High Availability (HA) Quality of a system, or part of a system (e.g., a device), for which the percentage of time it can be used is very high compared to the overall time it is in demand. (Source: OQLF) Watchdoc's high availability relies on monitoring the Watchdoc Service and the MS Windows spooler as well as securing connectivity between the workstation and the print server and between the print device and the print server. mode	✔	✔
WES compatible with multiserver mode This mode allows the main print server to be backed up by one or more servers capable of handling requests in the event of a failure of the main server. This mode is not compatible with all device models (depends on make and model). It must be configured on the WES profile applied to the device.	✖	✖
WES compatible with fault tolerance mode Mode making the WES compatible with network equipment that manages load-balancing.	✔	✔
WES able to work in off-line mode Mode enabling the print device to operate in a degraded manner in the event of the print servers (main and backup) failing. In offline mode, printing is impossible, but the device's other functions can be offered: photocopying, faxing and scanning. If offline mode is disabled, in the event of a server failure, all device functions are blocked until the server is repaired. This mode is configured in the WES profile applied to the device.	✖	✖
