ID Print Configuration for PaperCut Printers

Before configuring ID Print with your PaperCut 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 the PaperCut printers and the IRIS BioStore IDPoints.

To configure a Printer Map select one of the printers in the list.

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.

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.

Printer - Enter the printer's IP address

Token - In this field, enter the M3i Shared Secret. This will be the same for each printer being connected.

Username and Password - Enter the username and password of the M3i service. By default this is username and password.

Description - Enter a suitable description for the IDPoint, 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 and Default Gateway in the relevant boxes.

Card Formatting - If cards are to be used with the ID Print system, choose whether they are to be used in decimal or hexadecimal format from the dropdown list.

Show orHide 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 when a user is positively identified.

Select the Update button when you have completed the configuration, and repeat the process for all of the IDPoints requiring configuration.

To remove a mapped printer, choose the printer from the list and select the Remove button.

Test Connection - Select this button to check if ID Print can connect to the print server using the entered details.
