New: Terminal Professional v3.5 is compatible with YSoft SafeQ 6 for copying and printing

Customers using previous versions of YSoft SafeQ with Terminal Professional v3.5 can upgrade to YSoft SafeQ 6 and still use their existing external terminal for copying and printing. However, YSoft SafeQ 6 scan workflows are not supported.

Improved: Devices page redesigned for faster content loading

The device page in the management interface could take a long time to load information, especially for installations with over 200 devices. This has been improved.

New: YSoft SafeQ 6 Embedded Terminal 2nd Gen. for Konica Minolta and Xerox

A new UI theme for our embedded terminals adds the latest design principles and improves the end user experience. We call this new UI theme, YSoft SafeQ Embedded Terminal - 2nd Generation (2nd Gen.). It is currently implemented for Konica Minolta and Xerox MFDs.

While the new UI can be used now, it remains accessible under Early Access License and named YSoft SafeQ 6 theme. When the new UI theme is released from Early Access License in MU14, it becomes a standard part of YSoft SafeQ 6 and will be named YSoft SafeQ Terminal Application - 2nd Gen.

A final main component - Billing code application - was created and built in the new SafeQ 6 theme browser-based embedded terminal.

Security

• Color print jobs are moved to “Rejected” status when a user without color printing permissions tries to print it. These jobs were mistakenly marked as “Pending”.

Terminals

• German and Catalan translations of the Xerox Embedded Terminal was changed so new shorter descriptions don’t overflow the menu fields.

• Print jobs are no longer visible in the Waiting folder when they are printed via “Print all“ functionality when logging in.

Administration & deployment

• While installing YSoft SafeQ 6 management server, a clipboard copy of the automatically generated password to the PostgreSQL database for later administrative utilization was sometimes incorrect. It was fixed and administrators can rely on the password ’s clipboard copy.

• When updating YSoft SafeQ 6, the Ricoh Embedded Terminal files are no longer deleted (\terminalserver\Apps\Ricoh).

• During installation of YSoft SafeQ 6 server on a MS Windows Server where IIS is already running, the default IIS site is no longer deleted by the YSoft SafeQ installer and a free port (different from default 80) is offered as an option.

• Flexispooler installation stability has been improved.

• When adding new devices, the warning "Some devices are not licensed correctly" may appear. More information on the devices this relates to has been added.

• Activation and Deactivation time is now set properly when editing a device in the management interface.

• Installation of Embedded Terminal on Xerox Versalink has been improved when YSoft Payment System is used. No additional reinstallation is necessary now.

• When exporting the per cost center report to XML, if special characters are used, they were not encoded properly. They are now encoded to XML standards.

• CLI user replicator (import tool) now supports Unicode languages (e.g Chinese).

• The software requirements section of the YSoft SafeQ 6 Administrative Guide has been updated to include "Highlighter feature (part of Advanced Workflows) is not supported on Windows Server Core edition".

• Under some circumstances, the “YSoft SafeQ Workflow Processing System” service couldn’t be stopped in the Services window of the operating system. It has been fixed.

• Cost Reporting of a scan job was different in two separate reports. This has been corrected.

Scan workflows

• An error message (202) mistakenly appeared when scanning on Xerox Embedded Terminal from the glass asking the user for the paper format. It has been fixed.

• Accounting of scans on the Sharp Embedded Terminal has been fixed. Simplex and duplex scanning is now properly recognized.

• Scan workflows were not displayed to users who have special characters in their usernames. This has been fixed.

• When a validation error in the scan workflow form occurred, the definition of scan workflow access roles was not displayed correctly. This has been fixed.

• Users could experience an error on the Konica Minolta Embedded Terminal when a Microsoft Exchange contact list was used as an editable parameter of a scan workflow. Errors no longer appear and users can search in the Global Address List.
  

YSoft be3D eDee print management solution

• Entering and exiting the Service menu on the eDee touchscreen has been redesigned.

• The Print summary screen now includes correct information on consumed filament, time of printing and other data when a 3D print has finished and the Feedback option is on.

• When a 3D job submission to the YSoft be3D eDee printer fails and the YSoft Payment System is used, the credit reservation is canceled.

• The brightness of the eDee touchscreen no longer descends to zero by itself.

• Email notifications to the administrator when the filament runs out are now properly sent out.

• When cancelling a print job during the preparation stage, the credit reservation is released if YSoft Payment System is used.

Charging and quotas

• Embedded Terminal for Sharp devices has been improved when the YSoft Payment System is used. Users can print multiple jobs in one batch and the system works with credit and quota reservations in the YSoft Payment System correctly.

• An appropriate message appears on Embedded Terminals when the user account is disabled or no credit is assigned yet.

• When a quota was assigned to “All” users in the YSoft Payment System, the limit wasn’t functional. It has been fixed and users can’t continue to copy/scan now when a limit is reached.

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.

• FlexiSpooler in server mode and Spooler Controller components must be installed on the same server.

• After updating FlexiSpooler in client mode, the Offline Print capability needs to build a new list of last used printers.

• PostgreSQL database server uses GMT time zone by default. If YSoft SafeQ management server is in different time zone, PostgreSQL time zone has to be set accordingly.
