Printing

• The HPGL print job’s recognition by FlexiSpooler is now more reliable.

• Prioritization between rules and finishing options on Embedded Terminal applied on a print job has been fixed when the “finishingOptionsPriority” property is set to “Finishing options have priority”. The user must now manually change the finishing option in the Embedded Terminal to force its priority above a rule. E.g. switching between b/w and color printing.

• It is now possible to restrict access to copy application in Embedded Terminal for Xerox AltaLink and VersaLink models.

• Administrators can now successfully stop the Terminal Server service from within the MS Windows operating system.

• On Embedded Terminal for Fuji Xerox and Sharp, the advanced finishing options window is no longer mistakenly shown.

• Spooler Controller Group service is installed properly when YSoft SafeQ is installed in a different drive other than C: .

• Administrators can once again export data to MS Excel format from the web based database editor http://<SafeQ>/db.

• Administrators now have more time to fix YSoft SafeQ license issues. The delay for automatic device deletion has been extended from 10 to 30 days from the license's expiration date.

• When the user is replicated via LDAP from an external directory, administrators can edit the user’s other properties in the management interface even if a mandatory field is empty (Name, Surname).

• Filtering of LDAP user replication from AD have been improved. The new filter: (&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)) has been applied so that the computer’s records are no longer read.

• Licensing for the Rule-Based Engine module has been fixed.

• Administrators, when logging into the Management interface, can now use a specific page, e.g. http://<SafeQ>/devices .

• Editing of passwords in the Management interface has been improved. When a stored item includes a password and is open for editing, e.g. a device, an administrator can no longer partially change the password. The password must be left as it is or the entire password must be entered again.

• Translation of the label “Name” into the Polish language in Management interface has been fixed.

• When a user is created via the auto-registering process, administrators can now edit the record without any limitation.

• Editing of rules in Management interface has been fixed. All text is visible when different languages are used.

YSoft be3D eDee Print Management Solution
