YSoft Payment Machine

YSoft Payment Machine now supports Lebanese and Georgian currencies.

Embedded Terminal for Lexmark

Automated Scan Workflows are now available on Embedded Terminal for Lexmark. There are two unsupported limitations: file folder browsing and list type of user input. The Embedded Terminal for Lexmark is compatible with eSF 3.0/4.0/5.0/6.0 platform devices and supports authentication, print, scan, billing codes, YSoft Payment System and device dependent accounting.

DeeControl 2.5

A new version, DeeControl 2.5, is now available as a free download for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms on Partner Portal and the Y Soft website.

Main enhancements:

• YSoft SafeQ username can be configured - dedicated for BYOD used for sending 3D jobs to SQ server

• Dutch localization - user interface, user guide, quick guide

Additional print status snapshots from YSoft be3D eDee printer

If the print job is 5 hours or longer, the user can receive additional snapshots of the print job's progress (5% and 50% of print completion). The job owner is now better informed about the 3D print job's progress and can react if needed.

Terminals, User Interfaces

The order of default languages for YSoft SafeQ Embedded and External Terminals has changed. The system property “supported-lang-priority” now has a new default value: “En, De, Es, Fr, Ja, Cs”. It results in a lower priority of double byte languages leading to higher performance of YSoft Terminal Professional 4.

The user can once again open End User Interface when a quota with a zero limit is assigned to him.

LDAP settings are no longer modified in the device when installing Embedded Terminal for Xerox and the “enableXeroxAccessDefinition” property is set to “Application registry”.

Installation of Embedded Terminal for Fuji Xerox now automatically disables the device internal logging of the user's ID card number.

It could happen that the USB card reader as part of YSoft Terminal Professional 4 stopped working when connected to Konica Minolta devices. It has been fixed.

Printing

The FlexiSpooler now skips invalid XML characters in the print job’s XCPT header and doesn't stop printing for this reason.

YSoft Payment System

User detail data is now correctly shown to the user in the YSoft Payment System web interface.

A better error message is now displayed in the YSoft Payment System web interface when the administrator creates an entitlement and the user wasn’t found.

Cash Desk users can now open a user’s account even when the user was already deleted in the web interface but the money in the user's account hasn’t been deleted yet. The System creates the user’s account again automatically.

YSoft Payment System’s service is once again called “YSoft Payment System” in the operating system’s services window.

Installation and Administration

Terminal Server newly utilizes a certificate’s validation procedure during the establishment of the HTTPS communication when secured WebDAV scan data storage type is used. A valid certificate must be installed in the server where Terminal Server is installed otherwise Terminal Server won’t start.

Embedded Terminal for Fuji Xerox can be once again installed and uninstalled on Fuji Xerox Apeos devices from Management Interface.

A Web report and an exported Microsoft Excel report now match when a custom report is created.

Administrators can no longer include blank spaces in the beginning or at the end of a YSoft SafeQ External Terminal’s serial number in Management Interface which causes a malfunction of the Terminal.

The YSoft SafeQ database validator no longer writes database credentials in the log file.

Upgraded YSoft SafeQ servers from version 5 to version 6 with YSoft SafeQ Terminal Professional v3.5 no longer falls into off-line mode after starting.

A better error message is written in the log file when Management Server can’t connect to the YSoft SafeQ database due to incorrect credentials.

The wrong password is no longer logged in case a user mistypes when logging into Management Interface.

Microsoft Excel files generated for scheduled reports exported from Management Interface now have a better name and includes the name of the filter.

A description of the system property “finishingOptionsPriority” has been fixed. It now includes the right name of the Finishing options property: “enableFinishingOptions”.

YSoft SafeQ installation package now includes a new version third party component Infinispan 9.4.6 that fixes possible crashes of Site Servers in a clustered environment.

System properties in the "SMTP settings" part of the "spoc.conf" (Spooler Controller configuration file) can now include the "[EMPTY]" value. It tells Site Services that really empty values should be used for the property instead of a non-empty value received from the central settings in Management Interface.
