Configuring PKIAuthentication

Note: If you plan to attach a SmartCard reader to your scanner, then install and configure PKI (public key infrastructure) applications to the devices.

Use Lexmark PKI applications on supported Lexmark devices to take advantage of the enhanced security features of the PKI capabilities of your network. The applications include:

PKI Authentication—This provides the mechanism for authenticating and authorizing scanner users. PKI S/MIME Email—This enables users to sign and encrypt e-mail messages.

PKI Scan to Network—This enables users to scan documents to a network file share.

PKI Held Jobs—This holds print jobs securely at the scanner until released by an authorized user. This application is also called Print Release Lite.

The PKI Authentication application is required, but all other applications are optional and can be installed as needed.

For information on setting up PKIenabled devices and PKI Authentication, see the PreInstallation Guide and the Installation and Configuration Guide that came with the PKI applications package.
