Specifying advanced settings
When you configure a Ricoh Embedded device, you can specify the type of panel that the Client
must use. This is useful because, with many different devices and panels available, it can be
difficult for the Client to detect the correct type of panel. When you select the panel color, the
Client can send correct information to the Services Manager about how to process the scanned
documents and return them to the Client.
Since Ricoh devices are energy-efficient products that comply with the energy guidelines
promoted by the Environmental Protection Association (EPA) ENERGY STAR program, the
devices enter a “sleep”, or low-power, state, after a certain period of inactivity, or “timeout’. You
may want to prevent a device from entering a “sleep” state for the following reasons:
■ If a device that you have already added to the console is in the “sleep” state when you start
ShareScan Administration, the device will be marked by a red “x” in the console tree. This
is because the Administration console can no longer verify Services Manager information
for the device.
■ If you try to add a device that is in a “sleep” state, the Administration console will not be
able to detect it and, therefore, the device will not appear in the list of available devices.
To specify advanced settings:
1 In the console tree, select Devices > <device_name> > Properties.
The Device Properties pane appears.
2 Select the Tracing tab.
The information in the eCopy Client Settings area enables you to configure the capture
of trace information; this information helps troubleshoot connector issues. You typically
do this only when working with Technical Support. Tracing will slow down overall system
performance..
3 Click Advanced.
The Advanced window opens.
4 In the Select Panel Color list, select the color for the device you are configuring:
COLOR, GRAYSCALE, or MONOCHROME.
5 If you need to prevent the device from entering a "sleep" state, make sure that the Energy
Star Compliant option is not selected.
6 Click Save.
