Silex Technology Demonstrates Biometric Based Secure Printing

It is commonplace today that a wide range of workers access, view or work on sensitive documents. The difficulty arises in printing the document. Typically where a printer is shared, once the print command is activated, it becomes a race to the printer to make sure unauthorized eyes do not view the document.

SecurePrint(TM) allows an individual to send a document to a printer. The printer, however, will not print the job until the user places his or her pre-enrolled finger on a silex fingerprint reader at the printer. Once this is done, all the users' queued documents print out creating the "For my eyes only" privacy that workers, managers and executives need when utilizing a network printer.

One of the most compelling applications for device servers is the ability to connect a scanner directly to a network.

Companies today require the use of scanners for document imaging more than ever before. Especially those required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which was enacted in response to the high-profile financial scandals of the time to protect shareholders and the general public from accounting errors and fraudulent practices in the enterprise.

The Act states that all business records, including electronic records and electronic messages, must be saved for "not less than five years." Imaging on networked scanners to save, store, and secure documents is one of the best ways IT personnel within companies of all sizes can comply with this important legislation.

Traditionally, scanners could only be used with a dedicated PC -- a user would have to go to the PC, use the scanner, and either email the image to their own computer or place it on removable storage media. This is cumbersome, expensive, and inefficient.

With a silex SX-5000U2 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed 4-port device server, nearly any USB scanner can quickly and easily be connected directly to a network, providing everyone with an easy network scanning experience.
