Direct printing tab allows you to specify direct queue(s) which enable the device to receive jobs without the need for user to authenticate at the terminal (note: print job is still authorized in YSoft SafeQ).

  • Maintenance contract number - typically used to identify specific contract linked to the device.

  • Contact person - use this value to specify person responsible for the device (in case of failure, errors, maintenance, etc.)

  • Scan jobs default addressee - this option is used with Terminal Professional and therefore does not apply to installation of Terminal Embedded.

    The following network protocols are available:

    • IPP - provides a standard network protocol for remote printing as well as for managing print jobs, media size, resolution, etc.

    • IPPSSL - basic IPP with job encryption over SSL.

    • LPR - general TCP/IP utility that is used to send print jobs from clients to print servers.

    • TCP/IP Raw NoMap - same as TCP/IP Raw, but with NoMap function.

  • Port - port number that device uses for communication. This option depends on the selected print backend.

  • Print job encoding - encoding type used by the device. Encoding is defined by print driver used by the users at the time of creating print job. It can affect job accounting for users with diacritics in the login name. Default value is UTF-8.

In such case a generic user needs to exist in SafeQ to whom all the data from MFP will be reported. The login button on the MFP authentication screen then authenticates every user as this generic user (see the picture bellow).

By default, you need to create user "General" in SafeQ.

  • In case it is not possible to use such user, you can change generic user name in TerminalServer.exe.config file where the configuration configuration property 'KMPublicUserLogin' needs to be added. Example: <add key="KMPublicUserLogin" value="generic" />

  • the corresponding username has to be also defined in the SafeQ web administration

  • please note that it is not allowed to use strings 'public', 'admin' and 'boxadmin'
