5.1 Config Editor
The common configuration options for a device in PaperCut are available on the
device’s ‘Summary’ tab, and are discussed in more detail in the Configuration
section. This section covers the more advanced or less common configuration
options which are available via the ‘Advanced Config’ tab in the device details
screen.
Config name
Description
ext-device-msg.welcome-
text
The text displayed on the ‘welcome screen’ (the screen
displayed after pressing ‘Start’ from the ready screen). This
text can be used to provide specific information about logging in
to the device. Use “\n” to create a new line. Default: DEFAULT
(uses the default application text).
ext-device-msg.login-text
The text displayed straight after logging in. (Sharp OSA 3 only)
ext-device.header.color
See chapter 5.3
ext-device.header.textcolor
See chapter 5.3
ext-device.inactivity-
timeout-secs
Defines how long to allow a user between key presses before
they are automatically logged out. Default: 60
ext-device.sharp_osa.acl-
deny-access
This setting defines the functionality that is not available to a
regular (non-admin) user. The functions disabled by default
represent methods a user could use to bypass the tracking and
accounting process. Administrators have access to all
features. Default: SETTINGS.SYSTEM-
SETTINGS,SETTINGS.WEB-SETTINGS
ext-
device.sharp_osa.deny-
multiple-jobs
Sharp OSA devices have the capability to queue up multiple
off-the-glass jobs from the same user (e.g. the user starts one
copy job, then queues another, which will start after the first
one finishes). Because of the way print/copy jobs are
accounted for with the OSA platform, this presents an
opportunity to perform more copying than the user’s balance
would allow for. Users who have a restricted balance (e.g. a
quota) will be restricted from queuing multiple copy jobs. Only
one job can be started and it must complete before a new one
is started. Uses with an unrestricted account (or select an
unrestricted shared account) are not restricted to a single job.
For security reasons these setting defaults to on. Default: Y
(Yes)
ext-device.sharp_osa.limit-
reference.duplex
and
ext-device.sharp_osa.limit-
PaperCut will deny device access to restricted users who do
not have enough balance to copy. To determine if a user has
enough balance to copy a reference copy is required. By
default PaperCut checks if the user has enough balance to
copy one single sided Letter (North America) or A4 (worldwide)
page. In some situations it may be desirable to change the
reference copy, such as when the device allows smaller page
sizes like A5.
