Swipe Card Self-Registration

Card registration enables a user to quickly and conveniently login to the MFP without manually entering user credentials before each session.

To register your swipe card for the first time, do the following:

  1. At the MFP, swipe your card on the attached card reader.
    The following error message appears on the MFP touch screen:

    Login failed

    Incorrect authentication system settings

    See User Guide for information on fault code 016-569

  2. Press Close on the touch screen, and then press the Key button on the control panel to open the Login screen.
    Note: Ensure that the Domain is set to Equitrac on the MFP screen before proceeding with self-registration. If it is not set to Equitrac, see Refreshing a Domain After Restarting a Device.
  3. Enter your primary ID in the User ID field, and press Next.
  4. Leave the Password field blank, and press Enter on the password login screen.
    • If the MFP main screen opens, skip to Step 6.
    • If login fails, and the main screen does not open, continue with Step 5.
  5. Key in your secondary ID in the Password field, and then press Enter to open the MFP main screen.
    A required password depends on which Smart Card Link Mode option is selected in Authentication Configuration. See Configuring Card Self-Registration for configuration options.
  6. Press the Log In/Out button on the control panel and press Logout on the touch screen.
  7. Swipe your card again to verify that the card has been successfully registered.
    The MFP main screen appears when login is successful.
  8. Press the Log In/Out button and press Logout.
    Note: The ID and password for card registration can be Equitrac PINs or external user IDs and passwords, such as from Windows or LDAP.
