XEROX 497K16190 – Integrated Programmable RFID Card Reader Kit

Overview :

The Xerox 497K16190 is an authorized, enterprise-grade integrated RFID card reader upgrade kit designed specifically for the Xerox WorkCentre 3655 and 6655 series multifunction printers. Engineered to integrate seamlessly under the device’s physical housing, this upgrade kit enables secure, card-based user authentication and access control without requiring external, dangling hardware modules.

This kit includes the TWN4 programmable card reader, an engineered replacement top cover to accommodate the integrated reader, and a specialized USB Y-cable for secure internal data routing and power delivery. By implementing this hardware accessory, IT administrators can easily deploy secure print release protocols (such as “Follow-You” printing), restrict unauthorized copying/scanning access, and track device usage by employee or department for improved security and cost management.

Designed for high-security environments, corporate offices, healthcare facilities, and legal practices, this internal reader kit supports a wide range of transponder frequencies and standards. Note that this physical SKU is compatible exclusively with the WorkCentre 3655/3655i and WorkCentre 6655/6655i printer series.
