Overview

The SafeCom External Controller and Front-End solution provides pull printing on any networked printer, whatever make and model. This solution might also be preferable to an embedded solution on a printer, which although it supports the embedded software only provides a small 4-line display and no full keyboard.

In conjunction with a SafeCom-supported copier make and model and a suitable SafeCom MFP cable this solution can also be used to control and charge for copying.

SafeCom  Front-End

The Front-End's touch-sensitive screen provides the user with full interactivity with the SafeCom system. The Front-End is available with a variety of embedded card readers:

  • Cotag
  • Deister
  • EM
  • Mag Swipe, Track 1 & 2
  • HID (35 bit)
  • HID (37 bit)
  • iClass
  • Indala (26 bit)
  • Indala (29 bit)
  • Legic
  • Mifare
  • Nedap
