Introduction
The microMIND V2 allows to add a MiCard reader or a MiCard PLUS / MiCard PLUS-2 /
MiCard PLUS-2 V2 reader as a secure print solution to any printer. This allows you to turn
your normal office printer into a cost-effective secure print solution. It does not matter
whether this printer is connected via USB, the network, or a different connection. As
long as the respective printer is available and configurable in uniFLOW, a microMIND V2
can be used in conjunction with the printer.
The microMIND V2 supports all MiCard (V1, V2, V3, and all future versions / Magnetic
Reader (since firmware V2.0.7)) and MiCard PLUS / MiCard PLUS-2 / MiCard PLUS-2 V2
readers (since firmware V2.0.5).
Secure Printing
The microMIND V2 is designed to add the Secure Print feature to single-function
printers, regardless of whether they are Canon devices or not. Each device from each
vendor is supported. It does not matter if your printer provides an Ethernet TCP/IP
network, WLAN, USB, or other connections. Thus, NT-ware provides an easy and cost-
effective solution to include almost all printers and install them in uniFLOW as a secure
printer.
However, an Ethernet TCP/IP network connection is required for the microMIND V2. The
microMIND V2 has a built-in network switch, allowing it to connect the printer to the
network through the microMIND V2. This can be required for network printers. Note
that the microMIND V2 does not have to be attached to the printer. It only transfers the
ID data, read from the user's ID card, to the uniFLOW server and thus tells the uniFLOW
server to release the print jobs for this user.
Copy Accounting
Furthermore the microMIND V2 supports copy accounting. In order to allow for
accounting of copy costs on an MFP, the user interface of the device needs to be locked
until a user has been identified at the MFP. After identification the user interface opens
up, the user starts copying, and the costs can be assigned to the user, a user group, or a
cost center.
To lock the interface you need to connect a cable to the relevant machine and make the
required settings in the service mode of the MFP.
The following two graphics outline how the microMIND V2 can be implemented in the
network environment.
