Epson brings high security to workgroup printers

Monday, February 11, 2008

Epson released a new printer that’s based on ENSP technology, EpsonNet Service Platform.

A benefit to this printer is the inclusion of a contactless card reader. The EpsonNet Authentication solution prevents sensitive documents from piling up on devices when people forget to collect them. With this system documents are kept in a server, the same way they would be with any network print queue, except the Epson system holds them on there until a user causes the job to be printed by authenticating via a contactless smart card. [end]
