LEXMARK CARD AUTHENTICATION
Readme for version 5.4.15

1. OVERVIEW

   This Readme file pertains to the current release of the LEXMARK CARD
   AUTHENTICATION application.

   Lexmark Card Authentication is an embedded solution that can be installed
   on printers that support the Lexmark Embedded Solutions Framework (eSF).
   Card Authentication locks out the printer until a user authenticates with a
   badge. It secures access to the printer using a user-defined security server
   or another printer as a server.

    a. The card reader and driver are sold separately. To purchase the card
       reader, go to www.lexmark.com, and then click "Contact Us" at the
       bottom of the page.

    b. The maximum number of client printers that can be registered is 23.

    c. Users must register with a badge through a card reader to use a
       printer. If a different card reader model is used, then it may not
       recognize the badge. Either use the same card reader model, or
       register the card again when prompted.

    d. Validating a badge in the backup or client is not possible while
       the master is updating firmware. Either wait until the master
       printer reboots, or wait until the update is completed.

    e. Logging in to a printer using Card Authentication is not needed
       to perform host-based printing.

    f. Login Screen Text is limited to 256 characters. Text that is more than
       256 characters does not show properly on the screen.

    g. If multiple network accounts are configured under Security settings and
       the application is configured to use the Address Book in LDAP Settings,
       then in alphabetical order, the top item is the selected account.

    h. When Compatibility View in Internet Explorer® is enabled, the
       configuration page for the application may not show properly. For best
       results, disable Compatibility View.

    i. If public permissions of copy and fax functions are changed, then the
       configuration page for the application must be saved again. This action
       applies only if Allow Copy Without Login or Allow Fax Without Login
       settings are enabled before changing the permissions of those functions.
