SafeCom Pay Overview

SafeCom Pay ¹⁾ provides functionality for quota-printing, copying and scanning as well as pre-pay mechanisms such as coin and notes loaders, web payment or cashier software.

SafeCom Pre-Pay is a solution typically deployed in higher and further education as well as public libraries. It offers all the features of SafeCom Tracking and additionally requires the user to have sufficient credits to use the device for a specific task.

Users can be given quotas (or overdrafts) or be required to top up their accounts using SafeCom Money Loaders, Web Payment or over a cashier counter.

Pay users with insufficient credits will be prevented from logging on to any SafeCom device. Print jobs will only be released if the user has sufficient credits to print the entire job. Copy jobs can be started only when the user is in credit. How the case of a user running out of credits during a copy job is handled varies depending on the device solution deployed.

¹⁾ Requires a SafeCom Pay and a SafeCom Tracking license for every device to be accessed by a Pay user.

Pre-Pay Methods

To top up their accounts Pay users can use one of the following 3 methods:

SafeCom Money Loaders

SafeCom Money Loaders allow Pay users to deposit money in their accounts. The value is stored in the Money Database rather than on the card. The Money Loader accepts UK notes and coins. Users authenticate at the Money Loader using numerical codes or magnetic swipe or proximity cards. Users have the option of printing a receipt after depositing cash. A receipt is also printed when a Cashier User enters the Collect Cash screen and opens the money loader.
