Without Authentication, There Is No Security
RF IDeas’ readers are easy to integrate with your current printer solutions. Readers can authenticate virtually every proximity and contactless smart card on the market, ensuring that confidential information is kept secured.
Multi-function printers (MFPs) are an excellent business asset. They can provide a wide range of functions because of their internal hard drive, network connection, and online interface – but it is also these features that leave you vulnerable.
MFPs in an office are susceptible to a security attack. Left unprotected, they leave you open to data being stolen or misdirected from the printer, or offer a platform from which hackers can launch larger network attacks.
More and more, installations of these printers are available with an added feature: an embedded RF IDeas reader. RF IDeas readers add the ability to use the same badge employees used for identification and access to interact with the printers.
RF IDeas works closely with our partners to offer a customer-centric secure print solution.

When organizations add RF IDeas’ readers to their MFPs, they are providing benefits across the entire company:
- Security: Secure printing allows users to send print jobs securely without the need to rush to the printer to pick up their printed documents. Until the user swipes their credentials, the print job remains in queue, unprinted. If a user decides to, they can cancel at any time rather than printing it. Now, the chances of sensitive information getting into the wrong hands becomes almost non-existent.
- Day-to-Day Cost Savings: Print jobs that are sent, but never picked up stop being printed. This causes a reduction in paper costs, toner costs, repair costs, and less wear-and-tear on the printers over time. Now your printing is also environmentally friendly. This approach completely eradicates wasted prints and directly saves your business money.
- Flexibility: Print jobs are no longer limited to the local printer. users can choose to collect their print jobs from any print device and at any time, even at other facilities. This reduces bottle-necks at printers, unnecessary queuing at printers, employee print frustrations, and allows employee time to be spent more productively.
Our readers are available in various form factors making them suitable for internal integration such as in recessed compartments or external mounting.
