2. The mobile automatically transfers your card ID number through the reader to PaperCut or the MFP (local database, AD, LDAP) to validate your identity and confirm the card has a valid ID.
3. The mobile screens show the status of the confirmation process. Once the card ID is validated by PaperCut or the native MFP database, the MFP is unlocked and the MFP home page is displayed. You can now use the Synappx Go features [View Image]:
