Deploy SR25 Hardware
SR25 is a hardware device that attaches to any printer to provide Secure Print job release, using a card reader for authentication.
Before you begin
- External Hardware is enabled as a User Workflow. See Configure Secure Release.
- You have the SR25 hardware unit, its card reader, and a USB flash drive.
- Both the Device Scout and Print Scout are installed and Secure Print enabled.
Steps
1
Set up the USB configuration flash drive
The same flash drive can be used to configure every SR25 device at your site.
- Download the SR25 Hardware configuration package (SR25.zip).
- Copy the downloaded SR25.zip file to the root of the USB flash drive.
2
Connect the SR25 hardware to the printer
- Unplug the network cable from the printer and plug it into the WAN port on the SR25 hardware.
- Plug the yellow cable into the PRINTER port on the SR25 hardware, then plug the other end into the printer.
- Plug the card reader into one of the USB ports.
3
Secure the printer
- Insert the USB flash drive into the remaining SR25 hardware USB port.
- Attach the power cable to the SR25 hardware unit and plug it into a power outlet.
- Wait for setup to complete. The LED lights flash while setup is in progress and stay lit once it's finished.
- Remove the USB flash drive. The printer is now secured.
Result
The printer is secured for External Hardware release. Users authenticate with a card at the SR25 card reader to release their print jobs.
Why can't I secure my printers?
The Secure button may be disabled for either of the following reasons.
- One or both of the Scouts have not yet been installed. Both the Device Scout and the Print Scout must be installed before you can secure printers.
- The Scouts installed are not Secure Print enabled. To check:
- In the Discover > Device Scout screen, make sure that the Secure Print Enabled column is set to "Yes".
- In the Secure > Print Scout screen, ensure that the Secure Print Enabled column is set to "Yes".
