ID Print Configuration for DocuPro Printers

Before configuring ID Print with your DocuPro printer, you must have installed the correct licence, setup the server, and set up any required log files.

Select the Configuration tab to configure the mapping between DocuPro printers and IRIS BioStore IDPoints.

Available IDPoints are shown in the Printer Map section. IDPoints must be connected to the network and turned on in order to appear in the list.

Click on the IDPoint to be configured, and enter the following details:

Description - Enter a suitable description, such as the location. This can make it simpler to identify multiple IDPoints if further configuration is needed at a later date.

IDPoint - Enter the IDPoint's IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Reader MAC in the relevant boxes.

Card Formatting - If cards are to be used with the ID Print system, select either decimal or hexadecimal formatting from the dropdown list.

Show or Hide Staff Names - Full staff names are shown by default on IDPoints, however this can be changed if required, using the dropdown list. The options are as follows:

  • Show Full Name: Show the full first and last name for staff members, for example, Joe Bloggs.

  • Hide Staff First Name: Hide the first name of staff members, for example, Bloggs.

  • Show Initial and Surname: Show only the first character of staff first names, and their surname, for example, J Bloggs.

Audio Confirmation - Tick this checkbox to enable an audible sound from the IDPoint upon positive identification of a user.

Select the Update button when you have completed setting up the IDPoint. This will apply the entered mapping settings. Repeat the process for all IDPoints requiring configuration.

To remove mapping configuration for a selected IDPoint, choose the IDPoint from the list and select the Remove button.

Connection Options

BioStore Field - Choose a BioStore field to be sent to the print server from the dropdown list. This field is used as a unique identifier to unlock print jobs.

Address - Enter the IP Address of the printer.

Reader ID - (Specific to DocuPro) The (sub)ID of the reader sending data to the print server. 1 = first reader, enter a number over 1 if several physical readers are connected to the same terminal.

Tag Type - (Specific to DocuPro) Type of ID tag which is presented to or removed from the printer.

Rotate Scanner - This option should be used if better identification results are received when using the fingerprint scanner upside down. This may be the case when fingerprints have been enrolled on a scanner configured to use a different orientation.
