Katun announces Arivia MFP compatibility with Cartadis contactless RFID card reader

Katun Corporation has announced that its Arivia MFP portfolio is now fully compatible with Cartadis’ TCM4, TCM4-BLE (Bluetooth), and TCM4-Mini radio-frequency identification (RFID) contactless card readers. This compatibility enables organisations to implement secure, card-based authentication directly at the device, helping protect sensitive documents, simplify user access management and support compliance across MFP fleets. Cartadis' readers support multi-frequency contactless cards and emulate a USB keyboard, eliminating the need for driver installation on Windows PCs and MFPs. This plug-and-play capability simplifies deployment and reduces installation time. Cartadis also offers customisation services for the TCM4 range, enabling support for specific RFID card technologies and

USB communication protocols to meet individual customer requirements. “By confirming compatibility with Cartadis’ card readers, we are empowering Arivia users to strengthen document security while simplifying user authentication across their print environments,” said Tony Ko, Katun’s vice president of hardware and business solutions. “This interoperability ensures that our Arivia MFPs continue to deliver the security, ease of use and flexibility that our dealer partners and end users expect, while simplifying deployment and enhancing the user experience.” Amélie Brunel, CEO of Cartadis, added: “This integration demonstrates Cartadis’ ability to work seamlessly across major print platforms, providing secure, flexible and easy-to-deploy authentication solutions for modern workplaces.” n

PaperCut launches PaperCut MF 26.0

PaperCut Software has announced the general availability of PaperCut MF 26.0. The release delivers identity security and device compatibility, giving IT teams stronger authentication controls, broader hardware support and a more resilient print infrastructure. PaperCut MF 26.0 modernises authentication with unified user sessions and native SAML 2.0 support for single sign-on. In addition, a modernised central hub means users log in once and stay authenticated across all PaperCut MF components, including web portals and user clients. PaperCut MF now acts as a SAML 2.0 Service Provider, integrating with Identity Providers including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Federate and JumpCloud. Organisations can maintain unified security standards and consistently

enforce MFA policies across every print login, with users redirected seamlessly to their external IdP and returned automatically once authenticated. As organisations adopt the next generation of ARM64-powered laptops, PaperCut MF 26.0 ensures printing keeps pace. Print Deploy now automatically detects whether a device is running Intel, AMD, or ARM64 architecture and delivers the correct driver – no manual configuration required. PaperCut MF 26.0 also introduces a visual refresh for the Embedded UI, including a new dark mode option on select platforms. As a design-only update, all existing workflows and buttons remain unchanged, requiring no user retraining. Administrators can switch themes instantly via a system-wide configuration key, with no device restart required.
