Figure 3-5: User Authentication Workflow with USB Card Reader
Document Routing Engine (DRE)
The Document Routing Engine (DRE) is the print server. It’s primary function is to enable document
flow from user workstations to MFP devices. The following describes a typical DRE workflow:
1. A user generates a print request to an MFP that is registered in the Secure Access Manager
flow from user workstations to MFP devices. The following describes a typical DRE workflow:
1. A user generates a print request to an MFP that is registered in the Secure Access Manager
database.
2. If the user prints to a print queue that is using a Secure Access Manager port the DRE holds the job
on the print server.
3. When the user logs in at the MFP the DRE searches the jobs queued for that printer (and/or pull
group) and releases those that were submitted by the logged in user.
Note:
If the Release My Documents custom service is installed, users can access the Release My
Documents screen to view the secure print queue and release one or more documents as needed.

If a Secure Access port is not installed on the device, the print job is printed without validation
If you want print jobs to be held in a secure queue, you can configure Follow-You Printing. To enable
this functionality, you must configure the MFP to use a Secure Access port rather than a standard port.
The Port Monitor integrates with the Windows printing subsystem and functions as part of the spooler
service, allowing the Port Monitor to receive print jobs and then hold the jobs in a secure virtual queue
until a verified user releases them to a particular MFP.

When Follow-You Printing is enabled, the user must first authenticate at the MFP of their choice, as per
on page 17. If the authentication is successful, and the
Release My Documents custom service is installed, the user can access the front panel on the MFP to
view the print queue. The user can release one job or all jobs (if configured).
