Fujifilm Europe GmbH has announced the availability of two server-less device applications for its Apeos MFP range: Server-less On-Demand Print and Server-less Authentication.Â
Many SMBs face growing challenges in securing sensitive information without incurring the complexity and high costs associated with security solutions. To address this, both applications provide a reliable, low-overhead security option.
Fujifilm’s Server-less On-Demand Print can be installed directly on a MFD. It lets users release their stored documents on any linked device, without a dedicated on-premises or cloud print server. If the device that first received the job is occupied, the user can simply release it to another available MFP on the network. And because jobs are held for confirmation before printing, unnecessary printing can be greatly reduced.
Fujifilm’s Server-less Authentication application, when installed on MFDs, allows the sharing of user information for authentication with multiple devices, so users can register a smart card or authenticate on any linked device within the server-less environment.
User authentication information is shared from the designated ‘parent device’ to all linked devices in the network. This sharing uses a smart card registration function that associates the credentials stored on the device with the card’s ID. Once the information is shared, it can be used by any linked device through authentication operations, with no need to set up a dedicated server to link devices, thereby reducing costs and complexity.
