Introduction The microMIND V2 provides the possibility to add a MiCard reader or a MiCard PLUS reader as a secure print solution to any printer. This allows you to turn your normal office printer into a cost effective secure print solution. It does not matter if this printer is a USB, a network printer or a printer with a different connection. As long as the respective printer is available and configurable in uniFLOW, a microMIND V2 can be used in conjunction with the printer. The microMIND V2 supports all MiCard (V1, V2, V3 and all future versions / Magnetic Reader) and MiCard PLUS readers (since firmware V2.0.5).
Secure Printing The microMIND V2 is designed to add the Secure Print feature to single function printers, regardless of whether they are Canon devices or not. Each device from each vendor is supported. It does not matter if your printer provides an Ethernet TCP/IP network, WLAN, USB or other connection. Thus, NT-ware provides an easy and cost effective solution to include almost all printers and install them in uniFLOW as a secure printer. However, an Ethernet TCP/IP network connection is required for the microMIND V2. The microMIND V2 has a built-in network switch, allowing it to connect the printer to the network through the microMIND V2. This can be required for network printers. Note that the microMIND V2 does not have to be attached to the printer. It only transfers the ID data, reads from the users ID card, to the uniFLOW Server and thus tells the uniFLOW Server to release the print jobs for this user.
Copy Accounting Furthermore the microMIND V2 supports copy accounting. In order to allow for accounting of copy costs on an MFD, the user interface of the device needs to be locked until a user has been identified at the MFP. After identification the user interface opens up, the user starts copying, and the costs can be assigned to the user, a user group, or a cost center. To lock the interface you need to connect a cable to the relevant machine and make the required settings in the service mode of the MFP. The following two graphics outline how the microMIND V2 can be implemented in the network environment.

Technical Specifications Power Supply:
The microMIND V2 is available in two different versions. One with PoE (Power over Ethernet) and one without. The two different versions can easily be distinguished by the sticker on the back saying microMIND V2 PoE or simply microMIND V2. On the price list, "microMIND V2 Set 1" is without PoE and "microMIND V2 PoE Set 2" is the PoE version. If you have a microMIND V2 which does not support PoE or if your network switch does not support PoE, you have to use the respective power supply. The power supply must be a limited power source (LPS), which delivers a voltage of 12 V DC and a min. current of 450 mA. A polarized plug 2.1/5.5 mm is to be used, with positive wire to the inner jack.

8. 9.
Switch off the desired printer. If it is a network printer, disconnect the device from the network. If it is a network printer, plug-in the printers network cable in one of the RJ45 input jacks. Attach the MiCard reader to the microMIND V2's USB port. Optional in case copy accounting is required on an MFD: Attach the microMIND V2 with the respective copy accounting cable to the MFD. Attach the microMIND V2 to the network. Plug-in the power supply of the microMIND V2 if required. This is necessary if you have no PoE microMIND V2 or if you have a PoE microMIND V2 but your network doesn't support PoE. The microMIND V2 reader boots up. Switch on the printer.
The microMIND V2 and MiCard reader are now ready for more advanced configurations. For the microMIND V2 configuration, see chapter Configuration (page 7). For the MiCard reader, refer to the respective hardware manual and the uniFLOW manual.

Configuration The microMIND V2 works without any additional configuration if your network has a DHCP server configured to provide an IP address for the microMIND V2. However, some "advanced" options are available which are explained below. 7
microMIND V2
7.1
Configurable parameters
Please note that a configuration of the microMIND V2 in a different network segment than the uniFLOW Server is not possible. The reason is, that the configuration requires network broadcasts which are in general not forwarded between different network segments. However, if your router configuration allows the forwarding of broadcasts to a different segment, the configuration may be possible. Note that this only affects changes of the microMIND V2 IP-address configuration. The websites of the microMIND can of course be reached from any subnet and there is also no further limitation. Furthermore, if there is no DHCP server available or if a DHCP server doesn't send any IP configuration to the microMIND V2, the microMIND V2 will appear on the MIND & microMIND / List view page nevertheless. Same is true for microMINDs which are set to a fixed IP, even if its IP does not match the subnet mask.
IP Address: The IP configuration of the microMIND V2 is performed directly via uniFLOW. To configure a microMIND V2 IP address, open the uniFLOW Server Configuration, choose the main menu Connections / Agents/Terminals / MIND & microMIND and select the List view page. In this screen you can see the status information of the attached MINDs / microMINDs / microMIND V2. The column Type shows you if it is a MIND (MindNet Device) or a microMIND.
The microMIND V2 IP configuration can be found by selecting a microMIND V2 via mouse click on the IP address. You’ll find the serial number of the respective
8
microMIND V2
microMIND V2 on a sticker on the back of the microMIND V2. A browser screen will open to configure the microMIND V2 IP address. By default the microMIND V2 is set to DHCP, meaning that the microMIND V2 receives it's configuration from the network's DHCP server if available. If there is no DHCP server available or if a DHCP server doesn't send any IP configuration to the microMIND V2, the microMIND V2 will appear on the MIND & microMIND / List view page as well. This is because the microMIND V2 vendor MAC address portion is known to the uniFLOW Server. After all settings have been made, confirm the settings by clicking on Save Settings. The rebooting process of the microMIND V2 takes a few seconds.
7.1.1
Code Conversion The Code Conversion functionality lets you convert the read ID into a number of other notations, e.g. you read out an ID in hexadecimal, but you need it in decimal, or you need the read ID in a reverse order etc. For such cases, a code conversion option is available in the uniFLOW Server Configuration. It has been implemented, primarily to support a Code Conversion for microMIND. However, the Code Conversion can be set to a "Global Code Conversion" for all ID devices or to microMINDs only. The configuration is done on the uniFLOW Server under Server Config. / General Settings / Code Conversion.
Parameter: Code Conversion Script: Here you can enter the desired Code Conversion rules. The supported commands are the following: HexToBinary DecimalToBinary BinaryToHex BinaryToDecimal HexToDecimal DecimalToHex RemoveLeadingZeros StringReverse ReverseHexBytes ReverseBitorderInBytes ConvertToAscii RemoveFirst
RemoveLast RestrictLength CodeLength where represents a numeric parameter. command per line. A '#' can be used for comments.
You can enter one

microMIND V2
Apply to microMIND only: Set this parameter to Yes, if the Code Conversion should only take place for microMINDs. Set it to No, if the Code Conversion should take place for all ID devices.
Example: To remove the first 2 characters and then do a hex bytes reversion use: RemoveFirst 2 # take away unnecessary characters ReverseHexBytes # convert the data to reverse hexadecimal

microMIND V2 Website The microMIND V2 has a built-in web server. It provides the following websites: microMIND USB Device Port Configuration About The websites can either be reached by clicking on the respective microMIND List view entry of the Connections / Agents/Terminals / MIND & microMIND / List view site of the uniFLOW Server Configuration, or via http:///mind.shtml.
8.1
microMIND The microMIND site gives information about the following: Serial Number This is the serial number of the microMIND V2 itself. It is used to select a microMIND V2 during a printer configuration. You will also find this number on a sticker on the back of each microMIND V2. The serial number is displayed in hexadecimal format and reflects the last 3 Bytes of the device's MAC address. Software Version The current firmware version of the microMIND V2. Network Shows the IP address of the microMIND V2, the Subnet, Gateway address and whether it is configured manually or via DHCP. Last ID (raw) Shows the last read card number without code conversion (raw data). Name You can change the default name microMIND V2 for an easier identification of the device itself, for example the name of the associated printer.
10
microMIND V2
Since firmware version 2.0.6, the microMIND V2 name is also its DNS name. For that reason, please ensure the name is RFC952 compliant. The following characters are valid, whereas only 24 characters are allowed and the first character must be an alphabetic character:
0...9 a...z A...Z . - (hyphen, not underscore)
In case the name is left empty, "microMIND" will be set automatically. Furthermore, all non-compliant names will be turned automatically into similar RFC952 compliant names.
Connect to Server IP only Here you can limit the communication between a certain uniFLOW Server and the microMIND V2. This means that this microMIND V2 only "talks" to the entered uniFLOW Server IP address and to no other computer in the network. Restrict HTTP Access to IP Only the computer with the IP address entered here is able to open the websites of the microMIND V2. The uniFLOW Server will always have access to the microMIND V2 independent of the settings here. If left blank, there is no access limitation.
Note that HTTP port 80 must not be blocked by a firewall to reach the microMIND V2 website.
11

8.2
USB Device The USB Device site gives information about the following: If it is connected to a USB Device, it shows which device is connected (see example screenshot below). Configured HID Device Displays if a keyfile has been loaded and shows the name of the configured device. Use Card Track Use this parameter to address the respective card track of magnetic cards or specific Human Interface Devices. If this parameter is set to 0, all tracks are read out at once. This can be used for debugging purposes. MiCard V2 HID: use extended data By default this parameter is disabled. You only need to enable this option, if you have upgraded an SSP (Serverless Secure Printing) installation to uniFLOW. Upload USB HID configuration file Here you can upload specific USB Human Interface Device Reader configuration files (Key Files). These are required in certain projects. The files are distributed through the NT-ware project team or support.
8.3

microMIND V2
9.1
Firmware Update via USB Stick The microMIND V2 firmware can be updated with a normal USB stick.
Requirements:
USB stick formatted with FAT and a sector size of 512 bytes. New firmware with the file name MMAPP (note that the file name has no extension).
Update process:
Format your USB stick according to the requirements listed above. Copy the MMAPP file onto the USB stick. Detach your microMIND V2 from the power supply. If PoE is used, detach the network connection. Attach the USB stick to the microMIND V2. Attach the power supply. If PoE is used, attach the network connection.
Update procedure:
LED Status:
1. The device starts with the boot loader phase. Power LED: off The microMIND V2 checks if there is a USB stick with a valid Status LED: orange firmware connected to the device. 2. If there is no valid firmware found, the device starts normally (step 3. and 4. are skipped). 3. If there is a valid firmware found, it gets loaded. 4. Once the firmware has been loaded successfully, the Status Power LED: off LED will flash green (approx. 4 sec.). Now you can unplug Status LED: green flashing the USB stick and reboot the device. 5. Afterwards the microMIND V2 boots with the just uploaded firmware.
9.2
Firmware Update via uniFLOW In the uniFLOW Server Configuration under Connections / Agents/Terminals/ MINDµMIND / Firmware Update you can update the microMIND V2 firmware. Load the microMIND V2 firmware package under File. Under microMIND V2 firmware you can either decide to upload a new microMIND V2 firmware package only or to upload a new firmware package and update all microMINDs. Clicking on Load will upload of the selected file. Note that this may take a while and will be confirmed with a pop-up message. 15

microMIND V2 Signal Interpreter and Configuration The microMIND V2 signal interpreter allows the configuration of simple pattern matching rules. These include multi-click events and clock driven events while observing multiple I/O port pins in parallel.
10.1
microMIND V2 .INI Configuration [PORTS] The Digital Input Port can be configured in the a .INI file on the microMIND. The general configuration is in the [PORT] section as follows: REVERSE - Set to 1 if the bit order of the I/O port pins shall be reversed, e.g. b101000 instead of b000101. Otherwise set to 0. This means that for example the port pin previously addressed as [DIPORT0] would then be addressed as [DIPORT5]. INVERT - Set to 1 if the bits on the I/O port pins shall be inverted, e.g. b001000 instead of b110111. Otherwise set to 0.
[DIPORTn] Each pin on the I/O port can be configured under [DIPORT0] ... [DIPORT5]. The following settings are available:
Interpreter Parameters
DEBOUNCE - The number of milliseconds after a signal edge has been detected, to suspend monitoring. Helps to solve double-click problems because of signal bouncing. TIMEOUT - period since last edge after which an open multi-click sequence is terminated. A multi-click sequence is regarded as open after the first matching event. EDGE - 0 for valid signal event on rising edge, 1 for falling edge, 2 for both edges.
16
microMIND V2
RULEn - defines rules for pattern matching as explained below. n may be within 1 to 16. The sequence must be continuous or the rules won't be used after the discontinuity. For example if RULE1, RULE2, RULE3, RULE5 are defined, only RULE1, 2 and 3 will be used.
Interpreter Rules Different Rules can be defined for each port pin in the respective [DIPORTn] sections. Rules must be defined under the port which holds the clock signal in order to trigger port events. The rule format is RULE{number}={product}: {mask}, {pattern}, {counter}, {clicks} where {number}: 1,2,3,... up to 16. Do not use a leading 0, i.e. do not use RULE01, RULE02 … but instead RULE1, RULE2 … {product}: product index which is used for click counting if the rule matches. The product index is calculated directly as mask&x if the value is set to -1, where x is the data word on the I/O port and "&" denotes the binary AND operator. The data bits in x may occur reversed or inverted or both if configured as explained under [PORTS] above. {mask}, {pattern}: The rule match condition holds true if mask&x = pattern, where x is the data word on the I/O port. Again, "&" denotes the binary AND operator. The data bits in x may be reversed or inverted or both if configured as explained under [PORTS] above. {counter}: For multi-clicks the assignment of a counter index is required. The counter index may be within 0 and 15 and if not used set to -1. The counters are shared between all [DIPORTn] sections. {clicks}: set to 0 if multi-clicks are not used, otherwise give the number of clicks for this match to hold true. Note that that the numerical values in the rules (and only in the rules, not elsewhere) can be entered either in decimal (e.g. 17), binary (b10001), octal (o21) or hexadecimal (0xd1 or $D1) format. Comments can be started after the {clicks} value with any non-whitespace character, for example '#' or ';'. Examples of rules for the Canon Interface Kit A1/A2 (see "Canon Signal Kit A1/A2" on page 17) are provided below.
10.2
Canon Signal Kit A1/A2 This Signal Kit A1 uses the information of the CCM3-COIN ROBO-bus of the CL resp. B/W controller to generate or accept the following signals on its connector J2: Pin 1: delivery 1: generated at time of paper delivery - all other signals are only valid when this signal is set to 1. Pin 2: paper size - 0: small, 1: large Pin 3: color - 0: B/W, 1: color Pin 4: print - 0: copy, 1: print or fax Pin 5 & 6: paper feeding position as follows: o 00: cassettes or internal paper decks (drawer 1-4) 17
microMIND V2
o o o
