Printing at the Same Time as Authentication (ID & Print)

ID & Print

Since you need to be authenticated in this machine to print the data saved in the box, this function is suitable for safely printing highly confidential documents. When you are successfully authenticated, the print data of the login user is automatically printed. This enhances security as well as ensures smooth operation.
