"It allows far more flexible and efficient service for the end customer, in terms of when they print, when they come and collect their orders, and how they pay for it as well. So that has been extremely useful."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does KUARIO’s library printing solution work for visitors without membership?

Library visitors can print without creating an account or registering. They simply walk up to a KUARIO-enabled multifunction printer, scan the displayed QR code using their mobile device, upload their document, select print settings, and pay using their preferred payment method. The entire process takes just minutes.

How do visitors print from library public computers?

For printing from library public computers, KUARIO provides a seamless experience:

1. Library computers have the KUARIO Global Print Driver installed
2. Visitors simply open their document and click "Print" as normal
3. In the pop-up window, they enter their email and a unique code
4. They then walk to any KUARIO-enabled printer in the library
5. At the printer, they enter their email and unique code to release their print job
6. They complete payment using their preferred method
7. The document prints immediately

This process requires no account creation and works on any public computer in the library.

Do we need to replace our existing printers to implement KUARIO?

No, KUARIO is designed to work with your existing multifunction printers for libraries. It's compatible with major manufacturers including Ricoh, Epson, HP, Konica Minolta, and Xerox. The solution turns your current printers into self-service stations without requiring new hardware investments.

Can KUARIO integrate with the existing library or employee accounts?

KUARIO supports multiple integration options such as Microsoft Entra ID and eduGAIN if you need user import for automatic KUARIO account creation or benefit rules.

Can staff use the services for free?

Yes, staff can get a 100% discount and use their RFID badges/cards for access.

How secure is KUARIO and how are documents protected?

KUARIO provides secure printing on public devices for all documents and transactions:

- All documents are protected with end-to-end encryption from submission to printing
- Print jobs are only stored in the KUARIO cloud for 72 hours before being automatically deleted
- The system is fully GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified for information security
- No sensitive document information is stored on local devices
- Print jobs can only be released with proper authentication (QR code, PIN, or ID card)
- All payment information is processed through secure, PSD2-compliant payment systems
