Katun Expands Arivia MFP Security with Cartadis Contactless RFID Card Reader Compatibility

Minneapolis, MN – July 21, 2026 – Katun Corporation (Katun), provider of Arivia multifunction printers (MFPs) and leading supplier of OEM-equivalent imaging supplies for printers, copiers, and MFPs, today announced that its Arivia MFP portfolio is now fully compatible with Cartadis’ TCM4, TCM4-BLE (Bluetooth), and TCM4-Mini radio-frequency identification (RFID) contactless card readers.

This compatibility enables organizations to implement secure, card-based authentication directly at the device, helping protect sensitive documents, simplify user access management, and support compliance across MFP fleets. Seamless integration with Cartadis' readers reinforces Arivia MFPs as secure, intelligent hubs for today's document workflows.

Cartadis' readers support multi-frequency contactless cards and emulate a USB keyboard, eliminating the need for driver installation on Windows PCs and MFPs. This plug-and-play capability simplifies deployment and reduces installation time. Cartadis also offers customization services for the TCM4 range, enabling support for specific RFID card technologies and USB communication protocols to meet individual customer requirements.

“By confirming compatibility with Cartadis’ card readers, we are empowering Arivia users to strengthen document security while simplifying user authentication across their print environments,” said Tony Ko, Katun’s Vice President of Hardware and Business Solutions. “This interoperability ensures that our Arivia MFPs continue to deliver the security, ease of use and flexibility that our dealer partners and end users expect, while simplifying deployment and enhancing the user experience.”

“We are pleased to announce compatibility between Cartadis’ RFID readers and Katun’s Arivia MFPs,” said Amélie Brunel, CEO of Cartadis. “This integration demonstrates Cartadis’ ability to work seamlessly across major print platforms, providing secure, flexible and easy-to-deploy authentication solutions for modern workplaces.”

Together, Katun’s Arivia MFPs and Cartadis’ RFID readers deliver a powerful, adaptable solution that enhances device security without adding complexity. This compatibility highlights Katun's ongoing commitment to delivering future-ready workplace technology that helps customers meet evolving security and compliance requirements.
