Are you using a software solution such as PaperCut or Uniflow or Equitrac?
KM products can utilize card readers w/o any 3rd party software. It can be done using AD, LDAP, or user authentication/account track. Each user will have to self register their cards prior to use. As there are a variety of cards, you may want to have the card tested so you can be sure you pick the correct reader. KMs AU-205H supports 4 formats including HID, so this offers a wide latitude, but you must program the card through admin mode if you are using anything other than HID. I would assume that other manufactures offer the same basic options. EMujo
If you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.
Most machine have the option of entering a password or user ID for certain print job type. That password/ID needs to be entered at the MFP in order to release the job to be printed. This is also available with most cloud printing options.

Not going to happen. Without some kind of middleware, the card has nothing to authenticate against. Otherwise, any card could be used to release any job on the machine. Entering a code at the display of the machine to release a job isn't that hard.

I imagine most modern MFP's allow cards to be used with their internal accounting modules, I've seen some MFP's out there that do this.
Anyway, the original poster should contact Ricoh Support and go from there.
Ricoh requires Card Authentication Package be installed in order to recognize card reader.
Card Authentication Package is a Authentication Software for Multifunction Products
