ELATEC and LRS Deliver Top Tier Secure Print Authentication

ELATEC is a global technology provider specializing in RFID, NFC, and BLE authentication readers that enable secure, convenient user identification across enterprise environments. When combined with LRS Output Management, ELATEC helps organizations protect printed information, simplify access to devices, and reduce friction at the point of output.

LRS software orchestrates print, scan, and document workflows across complex fleets. ELATEC hardware adds a proven, future‑ready authentication layer at the device, allowing users to securely release jobs with a badge or mobile credential rather than passwords or PINs. Together, these two technologies close an important security gap between digital controls and physical output.

Authentication Meets Output Control

Enterprise print environments face persistent challenges: documents left unattended, inconsistent authentication methods across devices, and growing compliance pressure in regulated industries. Traditional login methods slow users down and are difficult to manage at scale.

LRS and ELATEC address these challenges by combining centralized output control with device‑level authentication that works across mixed fleets and various credential types. ELATEC readers integrate with major printer and MFP manufacturers, while LRS manages routing, release, and auditing policies from a single platform.

Key elements of this joint approach include:

Enforcing secure pull printing through badge or mobile authentication at the device
Supporting RFID, NFC, and BLE credentials without reissuing cards or standardizing on one technology
Integrating consistently across multi‑vendor printer fleets to reduce configuration variance
Eliminating shared PINs and passwords at the MFP to lower security risk and help desk workload
Creating an auditable link between user identity and printed output for compliance reporting

Results that Matter

Combining LRS Output Management with ELATEC authentication technology, organizations gain practical, measurable improvements in security and operational efficiency.

The combined solution delivers:

Reduced data exposure by ensuring documents are only released to authenticated users
Faster user interaction at devices through tap‑and‑go authentication instead of manual login
Lower administrative overhead by supporting existing badges and mobile credentials
Improved compliance posture with consistent authentication and print auditing across locations
Direct cost control by eliminating abandoned print jobs and enabling user‑level print accountability

Partnership in Practice

ELATEC authentication readers are widely deployed in secure printing scenarios across healthcare, education, enterprise, and public sector environments. They are designed to integrate smoothly with leading MFP platforms and print management solutions, making them well suited to large, distributed fleets.

In LRS‑managed environments, ELATEC technology is commonly used to:

Authenticate users at shared MFPs before releasing sensitive documents
Support mixed credential populations during transitions to mobile or cloud‑based identity
Standardize secure print access across global fleets with multiple device models
Enable centralized policy enforcement while keeping authentication local to the device
Future‑proof print security with readers that support firmware updates and new credential types

What this Means for LRS Customers

ELATEC strengthens the LRS ecosystem by extending secure, validated authentication to the physical edge of output workflows. The partnership reinforces LRS as a neutral, enterprise‑grade platform that integrates cleanly with best‑in‑class hardware rather than locking customers into proprietary credentials.

For LRS, this relationship:

Expands the range of validated authentication options in secure print environments
Reduces integration and support friction across heterogeneous printer fleets
Aligns with hybrid and mobile identity strategies using RFID, NFC, and BLE
Supports long‑term customer investments by decoupling output control from specific credential technologies
