IMPROVED

Administrators can now explicitly deny access to scan workflows for specific user roles. This allows simpler access control to scan workflows.

NEW

Scanning on Terminal Ultralight is now supported in YSoft SafeQ 6. YSoft SafeQ 5 customers with legacy Terminal Ultralight who use scan features are able to upgrade to YSoft SafeQ 6 without the need to purchase new hardware terminals.

Scan workflows can now deliver documents to the HP Records Manager 8.x record management system. The HP Records Manager 8.x scan connector can be ordered in the Y Soft Price list.

Y Soft continues to make card reader deployment easier and smoother for partners. Part of MU11 is our new Graphic user interface for card reader configuration: YSoft Card Reader tool. The card reader tool is a desktop application that offers many features such as protocol configuration, uploading custom configuration, update firmware or test the card reader.

Security

The security of user data inside the YSoft SafeQ 6 system has been increased. We have enhanced security of communication between the MFD’s Embedded Terminal and YSoft SafeQ Terminal Server in order to make "snooping“ of user print jobs more difficult.

Co-existence of Terminal Ultralight scanning functions with the MFD's native scanning can result in ambiguous user assignment of the final scan files. A potential risk has been minimized by performing a detailed check of the scan folder when a user is logging in on the Terminal Ultralight.

When using YSoft SafeQ Terminal Pro 4 for scans on an MFD, a potential risk about ambiguous user assignment has been minimized by performing a detailed check of the temporary SMB scan folder.

Mobile print & mobile terminal

More YSoft SafeQ AP Connectors can be connected to one Spooler Controller without any errors now.

A YSoft SafeQ AP Connector installed in the Windows environment with Japanese localization starts and works properly now.

It was possible to generate QR codes used in YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal (mobile app) for Terminal Ultralight and YSoft SafeQ Terminal Pro 4 even though these two hardware terminals are not supported by the mobile app. This has been fixed so that QR codes for these two hardware terminals can no longer be generated.

Terminals

Previous security improvements of the YSoft SafeQ Terminal Pro 4 were having a bad influence on the correct fail-over behavior. This has been resolved with MU11.

While scanning on Fuji-Xerox devices the scan variable %billingCode% returns the "Billing code“ now (previously it returned the "Billing code Id“).

Behavior of Embedded Terminals on Konica Minolta devices has been improved when the YSoft Payment System is used and outage of the MFD occurs due to missing consumables exceeding a time limit. Now, the system doesn't create duplicated reservations in the YPS.

For Konica Minolta, Develop and Olivetti Embedded Terminals, the quotas in place no longer have delays in the printing of jobs that have a large page count caused by reservations.

On Lexmark Embedded Terminals, the system of messages was improved by pictograms replacing long texts.

On Xerox VersaLink devices with embedded terminal, accounting has been fixed so it now considers the price of paper in addition to other components.

On Xerox devices with embedded terminal, restricted access to applications work properly now. Administrators no longer need to make manual corrections in the MFD setup.

Emergency off-line printing is available again for Konica Minolta multifunctional devices with Embedded Terminal and Print without authentication is enabled on the devices.

Administration & deployment

Uninstallation of the Embedded Terminal on Konica Minolta devices from the Management interface now gives administrators a warning and refuses to uninstall when a user is currently logged in at an MFD.

Web reporting in the YSoft SafeQ management interface is now accessible from any node of the clustered implementation.

Editing of scan connectors in the Management interface has been improved. Inputs are validated better and errors are not returned.

Restriction of the scan files defined in the Management interface for the scan workflows didn’t take into account the file size unit and calculated the limit in Bytes in any case. It was fixed and restrictions accept a selected unit as well.

When a system property "assign-new-card-single" is enabled, the card self-registration now deletes the user's previous card and only stores the new card in the YSoft SafeQ database.

When the database server used by Management Server is recovered after an outage, the Spooler Controllers now automatically change their status from off-line-to on-line mode without requiring a restart of services.

When updating the Spooler Controller, it now properly merges manual settings present in the "spoc conf" with the new configuration file.

Scan workflows

Scan workflows that utilize the Dropbox connector now correctly map a user's identity using their email address when impersonation is enabled.

Other

A3 BW jobs were mistakenly considered as color ones resulting in users without color access unable to print. It was fixed and users without rights for color printing can print the A3 BW jobs now.

In a clustered environment with more Spooler Controllers, a job could be automatically deleted from the secure queue even if its print had failed under some circumstances. This is now fixed.

Installation and deployment

• Backup of YSoft SafeQ 6 (configuration, database and more) can be done using documented procedure. Please follow the product documentation for backup and restore.
