IMPROVED

With the YSoft SafeQ 6 MU10, there is an additional option for implementing authentication of print jobs in a multi-domain environment. YSoft SafeQ 6 functionalities have been extended in such a way that authentication in multiple domains can be applied when users print from workstations through print queues (Windows v3 print drivers) shared by a Windows server. No YSoft SafeQ client is needed on the workstations, just the YSoft SafeQ Enterprise Client 2.x must be installed on the Windows print server. This implementation covers a Citrix-based environment as well. A limited set of SafeQ Enterprise Client 2x functionality is supported: domain user authentication, job compression, failover and load balancing.

YSoft SafeQ administrators can now customize scan workflows to allow or disallow users to choose a scan file format type. This capability was available in YSoft SafeQ 5 and is now enabled in YSoft SafeQ 6 as well.

NEW

User’s and administrator’s productivity and convenience have been increased. Separate login for Windows and YSoft SafeQ Web applications (YSoft SafeQ management interface, YSoft Payment Systems, YSoft end user UI) is no longer necessary.

Security of user information when working with printing devices equipped with YSoft SafeQ Terminal Pro 4 has been increased. Upon user logout or session timeout, the Terminal checks the ongoing processes in the device and allows user logout only after all jobs have been processed.

Terminals

The currency symbol in Embedded Terminals no longer displays when YSoft Payment System is not installed and the currency isn’t required to be displayed.

Embedded Terminals for Lexmark not initialized properly after a device reboot would not charge users for jobs. The Lexmark Embedded Terminal has been fixed to always properly initialize after a device reboot.

For some Embedded Terminals, the last used Billing Code was pre-selected instead of the default Billing Code. This has been fixed so that the default Billing Code is always pre-selected. If no default Billing Code exists, no pre-selection is made.

In Xerox Embedded Terminal, credit information wasn’t updated when made a copy without a browser refresh. Now the job is accounted for within the user session.

Mobile Print

Chinese characters now print properly when the Mobile Print Server is used for printing.

Administration & deployment

FlexiSpooler newly validates the jobStorePath system setting and we can change the print job location as we need.

The "Add scan workflow" page now works correctly in Internet Explorer 10 with no JavaScript error.

Scan workflows

After an upgrade from a previous MU when the terminal type was changed and the device was reinstalled, scanning stopped working (MFD was unable to deliver documents) unless Terminal Server was restarted. This is now fixed.

On Konica Minolta devices, a workflow with PDF file format and barcode separation enabled, it changed A6 page proportions to A4 and stretched the image.
