We are doing a customer site demo of two Konica Minolta mfps with Papercut embedded. Customer already has Papercut and have some sharp with a RF Ideas PcProx Plus reader.

Our readers are the HID AU-201 reader. The customers cards will work but it sees it as a new card because the reader outputs a different value than the customers current readers.

What all do I need to reconfigure our readers to be on the same format.

The customer supplied us with some configuration files named

ProxCard-Dual-Format.hwg+
pcProxConfig.dat

also the customer mentioned the program they use to configure their card readers
- Download and install RF Ideas pcProx® Plus program from online.
- Use the config files in this folder to configure the prox card reader

any information would be great.

The Omnikey 5125 readers works great easy to install no pre-configuration. just install loadable driver and it works.

In this case we need to configure it to output similar to what our customer current readers output

You can make a custom loadable driver with page scope data admin. This allows you to customize the settings for the IC card and the reader, then import this file (loadable driver) to the MFP. Check out the service manual for your particular MFP for the details. Emujo

Interesting emujo. I will check that out.

Since my last post I have learned quite a lot about KMs readers..The. HWG file you posted is great for importing a config file into a new "RFIdeas" reader, this will not work for the AU-201, or AU-205. If you are stuck with the AU-201s the login process is not going to work smoothly. Every time the users changes the device they card swipe to the scanned data passed to PaperCut will be different and the card will look like a new card needing to be registered. If you can at least move to the AU-205s, you can determine the card value passed by the other model readers, and the AU-205s can be placed into the "keyboard wedge" mode thus allowing the output data to be manipulated into the same string the older MFPs are pushing. (This manipulation would be done through the card readers web interface, not the MFP). If you use the AU-205 with the base "LDD" you will see the same result as you currently do with the AU-201s. Once you have a working reader, you can export this as a config file that can be loaded to any other 205. For a huge fleet, you can use the Desfire card to quickly program a 205 currently attached to an MFP. KM has moved away from the CCID only readers to allow much more flexibility working with the tons of different card formats, but even the AU-205 won't read every card. If you have a AU-205H laying around you can go to the HID website and grab the Onmikey 5427CK driver files, once installed you can connect your 205H to a USB port and open the reader programming interface using a browser window. It's very interesting and you can play around with the settings, upgrade firmware, put it into keyboard wedge mode and read your own cards. From here it's just a matter of learning the process to make the necessary changes to get what you need out of the scanned data. You can capture the entire card string or just a portion, you can change the output to HEX, BIN, DEC ect, reverse the output, add characters before and/or after. Example--your software needs a 20digit HEX value, but the card is outputting 16 digit BIN. You would convert the output to HEX and add "F"s until the output was at 20 digits. This programming is perfect when you have to use existing AD info for the card numbers. Example--Customer uses pager field in AD as the PIN, this data is a 13 digit binary string that allows them door access, and they want to use the same cards for MFP access. You would use the programmer to scan the data, determine which part of the string matches what you see in the AD attribute, then configure the reader to output in BIN, strip or add characters to match the AD info. Very cool stuff here..Emujo
