and universities best value document solutions which work and help lower

KYOCERA SIMS Connector
KYOCERA SIMS Connector
is another time-saving
app developed specifically
for the 21,000 schools
and 150 local authorities
that use the SIMS school
information management
system for student registration
and reporting, student
performance, personalised
learning, exam organisation
and timetable construction.
Developed in conjunction
with scan routing specialist
Nsi Autostore, it enables
teachers and administrators
to scan hard copy documents
from a KYOCERA MFP running
Autostore Workflow straight
into the SIMS database. This
reduces the time staff spend
filing, speeds up the retrieval of
information and helps schools
meet compliance requirements.
Because the connector
is embedded on the MFP,
there is no need for additional
hardware to integrate Autostore
with SIMS, making this a
more affordable option than
solutions that require add-on
hardware terminals.
Walk-up users can do
everything through the
embedded Autostore user
interface on the MFP
touchscreen, from selecting the
group the scanned document
as Papercut, to control, budget
and account for MFP use.
Print management
In addition to these apps,
KYOCERA’s portfolio includes
many of the most popular
applications used in the
education sector today,
including Papercut, Equitrac
and Safecom, all of which are
widely used to monitor and
control print costs.
Another solution likely to
be of interest to schools and
higher education organisations
is KYOCERA Mobile Print, which
enables students, teachers and

pupils to send files, scans and

smartphones and tablets to
selected KYOCERA printers and
MFPs.
Through its managed print
services, KYOCERA has already
helped many customers in the
education sector to cut paper
consumption, lower energy
consumption and reduce print
costs by as much as 30%. With
its new range of apps, it is
helping them improve process
efficiency too, saving teachers
time in the classroom and after
teaching hours.

applies to (staff or student) and
the nature of the document
(public or confidential) to
searching for an individual
student or staff member. Once a
destination has been selected,
the scanned document will be
sent directly to the appropriate
folder within SIMS.
BioStore
BioStore, another solution
for the education sector,
provides fingerprint-based
authentication at the MFP.
This is a more reliable and
secure option than cards and
PINs that can be shared or
lost, and because BioStore
converts fingerprints into a
mathematical measurement
rather than an actual image,
there is no risk that a pupil’s
fingerprint can be reproduced.
Users scan their fingerprint
at a BioStore IDPoint connected
to a KYOCERA MFP. Identifying
information is then sent over
the network to server software,
where it is referenced in the
database and verified. The
user is then logged into the
embedded software on the
MFP.
As well as restricting MFP
use to authorised users,
BioStore can be integrated with
secure print release and print
management solutions, such
