Elatec Card Readers

Take control of your print and copy with Elatec

Elatec offers German designed and manufactured close proximity contact and contactless readers that are highly configurable for use in many applications such as secure printing.  Elatec readers are used extensively in transport, library management and access control.

Moving to a managed print system with shared multi-functional printers is a secure, cost effective and more environmentally friendly approach for organisations. A managed print system starts with user authentication via and ID card, smart card, PIN or barcode – something which most larger companies have for employees already. The Elatec range of card readers is compatible with the vast majority of authentication systems worldwide.

With good training, users become more aware of the cost of printing and departments are more accountable for their print usage and wastage is minimised as users must be present to release and collect their print jobs.
