LEXMARK SMART CARD AUTHENTICATION
Readme for version 2.0.2

1. OVERVIEW

    This Readme file pertains to the current release of the LEXMARK SMART CARD
    AUTHENTICATION suite of applications.

    Lexmark Smart Card Authentication is a collection of Embedded Solutions
    Framework (eSF) applications used to ensure that only authorized users can 
    access and use restricted printer functions. The applications work together 
    to allow authorized users to log in to a printer and securely perform common 
    tasks, including sending e-mail and releasing print jobs.

    Smart Card Authentication includes the following applications:

    * SMART CARD AUTHENTICATION version 2.0.5
       This application manages the licensing for all applications in the bundle that
       require a license to run.

    * SMART CARD AUTHENTICATION CLIENT version 2.0.2
       This application lets you secure access to printers by requiring users to log in
       using a smart card or a user name and password.

    * DISPLAY CUSTOMIZATION version 4.2.32
       This application can be secured through Smart Card Authentication Client to 
       provide a secure idle screen. 

    * SECURE E-MAIL version 2.0.1
       This application runs in place of the standard printer e-mail function and lets 
       users digitally sign and encrypt e-mail sent from the printer. This application 
       is available only in multifunction printers.

    * SECURE HELD PRINT JOBS version 3.0.24
       This application lets users send print jobs to a secure print release queue on 
       the printer.
