Terminals, user interfaces

• The number of copies, changed by a user on the Embedded Terminal for Epson, is now correctly propagated when a PostScript print job is released

• Print jobs that contain the character "$" in their title can now be printed.

• The YSoft SafeQ Client application has been improved in terms of the user authentication in special network environments. For example, authentication with a user's principal name no longer causes a FlexiSpooler failure.

• The Embedded Terminal for Sharp has been improved. Authentication is now immediately functional when the device is waking up from sleep mode. Additionally, a user can logout by touching the native logout button. Both improvements are applicable when YSoft SafeQube 2 is used as a Site server.

• Terminal Server can now be secured when the device supports certificate usage and other necessary parts of secure communication. This improvement is applicable for Embedded Terminal's installation and scan's initialization.

• An incorrect printing time could be shown for print jobs on YSoft Terminal Pro 4. A new version of the terminal's operating system (4.10.5) fixes this issue.

• Embedded Terminal for Toshiba/OKI has been improved. A user's authentication is now immediately functional when the device has woken up from sleep mode.

• The Accounting of print jobs is now more accurate for a very specific situation when the Epson device is unplugged while printing.

• The Embedded Terminal for Sharp/Sagem no longer is stuck when an unknown card is used for user authentication.

• The validation of the Terminal Pro 4's network address on a device in the Management interface has been improved.

• On the rule definition page in the Management interface, an action description has been changed from "Add watermark (PS/PCL jobs)" to "Add watermark (PCL jobs)" because watermarks for PostScript print jobs is not supported.

• Service accounts for LDAP integration are now properly saved when more LDAP servers are connected to the Management server.

• Optional widgets 'My savings' & 'My reports' in the Management interface’s dashboard are functional from all nodes in the clustered environment.
