F
ollowMe Printing not only gives
you a practical way to protect
the privacy of documents sent to a
printer shared by multiple network
users, but it’s also an ideal tool for
monitoring your overall printer
usage.
The system enables a print job
to be sent from any Windows PC
to a secure designated server
(running TCP/IP on Windows NT 4,
Windows XP, or Windows 2000),
which holds the print job until the
person who printed it arrives at
the printer. The user carries a
”proximity” card that identifies
them as an authorized user. This
card, once recognized by the
FollowMe Printing ID card reader,
prompts the system to print the
document held on the server.
The card-based system
improves confidentiality for
sensitive documents sent to
shared printers, particularly high-
end ones located in open-office
environments.
Because FollowMe Printing
offers a more efficient way of
controlling the printing process,

Setting up the components
FollowMe Printing works on a

central server or servers handling
all print jobs in a similar way to a
print server.
Setting up FollowMe Printing
involves three main procedures:
• Attaching the ID card reader
and controller unit to the
printer, and adding a
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
network cable leading from
the controller to a network
hub or switch.
• Installing and configuring
FollowMe Printing client
software on as many PCs
on the network as required.
• Installing and configuring the
FollowMe Printing Q-Server
software onto the designated
server PC. Q-Server stores all
print jobs uploaded from the
client.
The client software
Once installed and configured
on any Windows 95/98/Me,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,
or Windows XP machine, the
FollowMe Printing client software
operates transparently to the
client PC user.
To print from any application
while using the FollowMe Printing
system, simply follow your normal
print setup procedure and select
the required printer. The print job
will be automatically directed to
the PC running the Q-Server
software to await printing, and you
can use the client software to
view print jobs sent from the PC
