Security solutions
Lexmark products support installable solutions that are developed to utilize the embedded Solutions Framework (eSF)
and cloud Solutions Framework (cSF) platforms in the device. These solutions extend the basic capabilities of the device,
often enhancing the security of the device or the customer environment. Some device models come with selected
solutions pre-installed such as Common Criteria configured models.
Print Release
This solution consists of an externally hosted document management application and a device
‑
resident application
providing the local user interface for selecting and releasing print jobs. All documents are held in a print queue until
their owners release them. The queue can be hosted on-premise or in the cloud, which offers more features and
benefits. To release your documents, enter your credentials at the device, and then select the documents you want to
print.
For more information on how to configure and use the application, see the documentation that came with the Lexmark
Print Management application.
Secure Held Print Jobs
This application prevents accidental exposure of sensitive or confidential business information by holding jobs at the
printer until an authorized user releases the job for printing. On devices containing a hard disk, you can send and store
jobs on the printer and release them using a badge or a four-digit PIN.
To clear all DRAM memory used to store job data after a job is completed, enable
Clear Print Data
under Advanced
Settings.
For more information on how to configure and use the application, see
Secure Held Print Jobs Administrator’s Guide
.
Card Authentication
Lexmark devices support a number of different contactless card solutions (applications) for basic badge authentication
where your identity is linked to your ID badge. The application verifies the badge ID and retrieves your user information
so that it can be used for accessing held print jobs. It can also be used for identifying the source of scanned documents
or identifying you for other identification purposes.
The application is designed to work with a card reader driver application. The card reader driver provides card ID data
to other solutions that manage workflows, or access to device functions. The background and idle screen control
application is also included to restrict control of the operator panel primary menus.
For more information on how to configure and use the application, see
Card Authentication Administrator’s Guide
.
Smart Card authentication
The Common Access Card (CAC) and Personal Identity Verification (PIV) authentication solution extends the card
authentication applications to provide safe workflow processes throughout federal government operations. The
solution provides more control over the security of networked Lexmark MFPs. The same solution also supports SIPR
token cards (using a different card interface application) to provide access over the Secret Internet Protocol Router
Network.
