About User Authentication
Xerox Secure Access controls access to the print, copy and fax functions of Xerox multi-function product
(MFP) devices by requiring users to enter login credentials, either by using a card or manually entering data
on the MFP front panel. This login action initiates an access request.
The Device Control Engine (DCE) handles all communication with the MFP devices. Using the Authentication
Agent API, the MFP forwards the login request to the DCE, which then contacts the Core Accounting Server
(CAS) to verify the user account data associated with the login ID.
The MFP can be configured to lock all or individual services requiring authentication before use. If the CAS
verifies the user, the MFP device panel unlocks and is ready for use. If the user is not verified, the MFP
remains locked and the user cannot perform any tasks at the device.
Note
Legacy model Xerox MFPs may require an authentication device to make use of serial cards. In this case, the
appropriate authentication device is an additional hardware component that attaches to the card reader
and forwards authorization requests to the DCE.

About Secure Document Release
If you configure the Core Accounting Server (CAS) to support secure document release, the MFP screen panel
can include a Follow-You Printing screen. This screen displays queued print jobs for the current user, who can
then select one or more jobs, and release or delete them directly from the MFP.
If you enable multi-server Follow-You printing on the CAS, the user can view print jobs on other servers also.
For additional information on multi-server Follow-You Printing
chapter in the
Xerox Secure Access Administration Guide
®
, see the Advanced Printing Configuration
.
The illustration below shows the process flow that occurs after a user submits a print job to a controlled
queue. After sending the print job, the user can access the Follow-You Printing screen on the device panel and
use the Embedded secure document release functions.
Note
When the Follow-You Printing extension is not configured, the Follow-You Printing screens are not available
on the MFP panel and the user cannot select individual jobs for release. Immediately after the user
authenticates, all jobs are released from the local or home server.

Supported MFPs
For a list of Xerox Secure Access supported MFP models, visit
Supported MFP models must be EIP-enabled prior to installing the Xerox Secure Access solution. Please
contact your local Xerox Sales Representative for more information.
Supported Card Readers
For a list of Xerox Secure Access supported card readers, visit
http://www.equitrac.com/card_readers.html.
All card readers are preconfigured from the manufacturer and require no further configuration.
To setup the card reader on the MFP, see Configuring Follow-You Printing® on page 14.
Magstripe Device Reader
Xerox Secure Access supports external magnetic stripe reader devices. Users can enter validation data by
swiping an encoded magnetic card through the card reader. The reader reads virtually any standard
magnetic card medium on track 2, and accepts standard or custom encoded data.
Proximity and Contactless Smart Cards
Xerox Secure Access supports HID proximity cards, and Mifare and Legic contactless smart cards. Users can
enter validation data by passing the card within about one inch of the card reader.
System Requirements

Installation and Configuration Requirements
If you have already set up and configured your Xerox Secure Access server, you do not need to install the
basic Xerox Secure Access application; you only need to follow configuration procedures.
For instructions on installing and configuring Xerox Secure Access, see the
System® Installation Guide
Before configuring Xerox Secure Access, you need the following:
•The IP address of the Device Control Engine (DCE) server. You need this address when configuring the
MFP to communicate with the DCE server.
•Administrative access to System Manager. For details, see “Configuring Administrative Access” in the
Xerox Secure Access Administration Guide
and the
Xerox Secure Access Administration Guide.
.
Xerox Secure Access Unified ID
Licensing, Server, and MFP Requirements
To enable the Embedded application, you must have the following:
1.Xerox Secure Access Software
Xerox Secure Access requires configuration of the Core Accounting Server and the MFPs, as described in this
guide.
2.One embedded license per MFP
Each MFP requires an embedded license that is applied in System Manager. For example, if you plan to
control 20 Xerox MFPs, you need to obtain 20 corresponding embedded licenses (enabled for Xerox). See
Licensing Embedded Devices on page 2 for instructions to add licenses to CAS.
3.Supported Xerox MFPs
For a list of supported MFP models, see Supported MFPs on page 4.

pages, page size, color, etc. You can configure Xerox Secure Access to track printing through
the embedded device or through an Equitrac Port.
Primary PINA sequence of numbers that act as a user ID to uniquely identify a user who wants to
release a print job. The primary PIN can be entered on the MFP keypad.
Secondary PINA sequence of numbers that act as a password when used in conjunction with a Primary
PIN. After entering the Primary PIN, the user must enter the Secondary PIN code on a MFP
keypad before the print job is released to a device. Secondary PINs are an optional
configuration.

The Xerox Secure Access system utilizes a 6 tier licensing structure which allows licenses to be assigned on a
per device basis. The license tiers are as follows:
Authentication – Any time the user approaches a device and authenticates themselves, they are using an

Assigning Licenses to Devices
Licenses must be assigned to each printer that will use that particular feature.
To assign a license, do the following:
1.Open System Manager, and select Licensing in the left pane.
2.Select the Assignment View tab to open the list of all assigned licenses.
3.Expand or right-click the desired license option, and select Add to open the Assign license dialog box.
4.On the Assign license dialog box, select the checkbox for the device(s) to assign the license to.
At the bottom of the dialog box is a counter displaying the number of available licenses and available
