MiCard Contactless Card Reader
MiCard® provides an easy to use, easy to install and cost effective solution for
identification with a contactless card at your Canon iR. With MiCard® you simply wave
your card over the reader and you will be identified. After identification the Canon iR
opens up and you are able to make your copies or pick up your secure print jobs.
Installation and configuration has never been easier. You simply connect the MiCard®
via USB directly to the device. Even power is supplied via USB, thus providing a cost
effective solution by removing the expense normally required for an additional interface.
After connecting MiCard® to the device, it will automatically be recognized and
configured by the in the Canon iR integrated uniFLOW MEAP application.
There are many different technologies for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) on the
market. Therefore, for additional flexibility, MiCard® Contactless Card Reader is
available in 3 different versions, MiCard® HiTag, MiCard® Legic/MiFare, and
MiCard® HID Prox, all supporting different RFID frequencies and technologies.
The uniFLOW MEAP application embedded in the Canon iR will also make your life in
the office easier. You can use it for printing confidential information securely. Simply
select the print job you want to print directly from the control panel of the Canon iR,
without the risk of interception by others.
Additionally it can be used for charging back copy jobs to cost centers, departments or
customers, printing of general/internal company documents, or the authentication into
other applications like for instance eCopy.
