Let users register cards
Card registration lets users register their own proximity cards at a secured printer. After registering a card, they can tap it to sign in and release print jobs at any secured printer in your organization.
You can allow users to register their own cards or disable card registration and manage card assignments for them.
Users who sign in with OpenID Connect or SAML single sign-on can also register their cards through the User Portal or the HP Secure Print desktop app. See Register a proximity card in the User Portal.
Turn card registration on or off
Card registration is controlled by the Card Reader Registration setting in each device profile and is enabled by default.
When card registration is enabled, users can register a card at the printer by signing in with:
- Their email address and PIN when using email authentication.
- Their network ID when using Active Directory authentication.
When card registration is disabled, users cannot register cards themselves at the printer. If they try, a message explains what to do instead. You can register cards for users by importing them into Secure Print.
To change the setting:
- Go to Secure > Device Profiles.
- Select the device profile you want to change.
- Under User Experience, set Card Reader Registration to On or Disabled.
The setting applies to all printers that use the device profile.
