Printing

• The print job names’ rendering from a LPR (Line Printer Daemon) protocol header for YSoft SafeQ reporting has been changed to meet the same rules as YSoft SafeQ 5. The "T" header has higher priority than the "N" header.

• Registration of print jobs is not duplicated in the SPOC when communication of FlexiSpooler and SPOC is slow due to high network traffic.

• Reading a device's status via IPP protocol has been improved and is now more accurate.

• A new property “folderSortAllOrder” has been created for the print jobs’s order listing in a browser-based Embedded Terminal. It offers the possibility of detailed separated order setting for: printing via Print All feature after login, printing via Print All button inside the Embedded Terminal and job listing in the Embedded Terminal.

• Web reports for a device's page counters are now generated properly.

• The delay before printing when the Print All feature is used has been significantly shortened.

• Incompatible print jobs are still visible on browser-based Embedded Terminals and no longer disappear when using the Print All feature.

• Incompatible jobs can now be printed when the user makes the appropriate changes directly from Embedded Terminal. For example, when the user is not authorized for color printing, the user can change to BW and print the job.

• For Toshiba and OKI devices, blank pages are now accounted for along with other printed pages.

• Some print jobs were not listed in the jobs' history when the Print All features was selected. It has been fixed.

• Cleaning of print jobs in FlexiSpoolers has been improved. A new property "spoolerCleanerSchedule" allows setting the frequency of the cleaning.

Terminals

• On the YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal, use of the camera focus on many Android devices has been improved.

• Logout of a YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal session on Android devices with the NFC printer recognition now goes smoothly.

• Users of older Konica Minolta devices with Embedded Terminal 2nd Gen. couldn’t use the HW button for printing. It has been fixed.

• Users of Xerox D95 devices with Embedded Terminal can now use their virtual credit.

• Some Embedded Terminals could show a warning window without any text message when print application was setup as a default and billing codes requested. It has been fixed and a correct message is displayed.
  

Scan workflows

• The automated scan workflow connector for Microsoft OneDrive for Business / Education has been adapted to a new OneDrive API behavior. Concurrent append to a PDF is again functional.

• The Workflow Processing System (WPS) now provides a better cleaning of temporary folders saving data storage space

Administration & deployment

• Export files from web reports now includes all columns after upgrading from YSoft SafeQ 5.

• When a FlexiSpooler service installation fails, the correct name of the log file is now mentioned in the YSoft SafeQ installation screen.

• Print devices that only use the YSoft SafeQ Reporting module license are no longer counted twice when counting licenses in the management interface system > license information window.

• The YSoft SafeQ 6 license updating process in the management interface has been improved. It is faster and is able to quickly handle large installations with thousands of devices

• When a device terminal type in the management interface is changed from an Embedded Terminal to None, uninstalling the terminal from the device passes correctly

• Administrators can edit users' home directory even if a LDAP replication is used. When the original home directory value in the LDAP is empty, a manual setting in the YSoft SafeQ management interface is kept in case replications periodically run. The property: “ldap-replicator-*-keep-internal-homefolders” must be set up accordingly

• While starting the YSoft SafeQ 6 management server, an additional check of GUID and host IP address uniqueness is provided. This check saves the reliability of the system when a management server was changed or a new one installed.

• In the management interface, it is now possible to move devices from one SPOC group to another one.

• Deleting a temporary folder, for instance C:\Windows\Temp\webserver, does not cause an outage of the YSoft SafeQ system anymore.

• The Terminal Server service does not crash anymore when older HW terminals (Terminal Ultralight and Terminal Professional v. 3.5) are being installed.

• While editing a device in the management interface, the "Scan workflows" shortcut is visible only when YSoft SafeQ Terminal UltraLight is selected.

• Stability of the Terminal Server service has been improved using a newer version of WebDAV server.

• The FlexiSpooler installation log has been improved. The ERROR (instead of INFO) label is assigned to messages when an issue arises with “YSoft SafeQ” printer installation.

• Upgrading the YSoft SafeQ client doesn’t fail when a space is part of the client’s home folder.

• It is now possible to update YSoft SafeQ servers with a standard installer even if the YSoft Infrastructure Service does not currently exist at the server.

• Upgrading YSoft SafeQ 5 ORS servers to version 6 could fail on the Terminal Server service renaming. It has been fixed.

• Updating YSoft SafeQ 6 Site Servers now keeps information about all management servers when clustering of management servers is implemented. No manual corrections are needed.

• The device installation status in the management interface now shows more accurately the real status of the device.

• Uninstallation of Embedded Terminal 2nd Gen. from Konica Minolta devices now passes correctly.

• Under some circumstances the SPOC service didn’t start due to a bad internal interpretation of Spooler Controller and Spooler Controller Groups identification. This issue has been fixed.

• YSoft SafeQ 6 server installer now automatically creates a work directory "…\SPOC\server\mobile" so no manual changes after installation are required and mobile printing works properly.
