Port

Port number that the printer will communicate through

Print job encoding

Encoding of print job printed on this device.

Batch Accounting

Batch accounting is an extension of standard online print accounting and it represents a quicker and more efficient use of printers accounted online.
Settings available only for MFP without embedded terminal.

Online accounting

Enables online tracking mechanism.

Offline print/copy accounting

Enables extended options for offline tracking mechanism for print/copy jobs. If one of offline accounting options is enabled, more options for coverage accounting are displayed.

 Settings available only if device Page tracking mechanism is set to Online or Offline. This can be done on Basic device tab.

Coverage accounting - black/color prints

Enables to use coverage accounting for black or color prints when copying or printing, based on setting above.

 Settings available only if Offline print/copy accounting is enabled

Coverage accounting - percentage

Setting the percentage of page coverage, which is basic value for calculating page price in coverage accounting. Coverage page price = page coverage / " Coverage accounting - percentage" value x page price defined in price list.

Example: Color page price = 1, BW page price = 0.5, Coverage accounting - percentage = 10
- BW page with coverage of 50% will be 50 / 10 * 0.5 = 2.5
- Color page with coverage 150% (sum of coverage of three colors in RGB model) will be 150 / 10 * 1 = 15

For more info see tooltip ( ) next to this option on SafeQ web interface.

 Settings available only if Offline print/copy accounting is enabled

Alert messages encoding

Encoding for alert message reported by the device.

Check device state before print

If enabled, the device state is checked before print job data are sent from YSoft SafeQ to the printer. The device state detection and evaluation is based on RFC 2911 document. The document describes state 5 called “stopped” which YSoft SafeQ interprets as “not ready“.

For example when there is no paper in a tray or when there is paper jam or there is an open tray on the printer, the printer is evaluated as "not ready", no print job data are transferred to the printer. Checking device state is device-dependent and does not work for all vendors identically, it depends on IPP protocol implementation according to the RFC document.

This option can be used only with embedded terminals.

IPP protocol must be enabled on the device.

State check is skipped for direct printing.

When the option is enabled, the embedded terminal must be reinstalled.

SNMPv2

Configures SafeQ to communicate with the device using SNMP version 2 using selected community.

SNMPv3

Configures SafeQ to communicate with the device using SNMP version 3.
