Authentication (CAC)
The CAC system is part of a Department of Defense initiative to increase the security
of its facilities and critical information through the use of smart identification cards.
Eventually all department employees will use CAC cards to gain access to computers,
networks, and buildings. In many cases the department is requesting that same level of
authentication at the printer level, as well. When enabled on this printer, Department
of Defense employees will need to use their CAC card to access the machine to scan,
fax or copy documents, providing greater security and management of the machines.

CAC Enablement software supports a number of card readers and allows users
to authenticate at the machine. The card reader is connected to a USB port on the
printer.

card types may function with the CAC/PIV ID system but they have not been validated.
