PaperCut - Sharp OSA Manual 2014-12-24

 The copier’s built in admin password should be changed and always kept

secure.

 The power and network cable should be securely connected. The system is

designed to be robust. If the power or network is pulled during a copy job, the

server will detect this and attempt to account for jobs when the connection is

restored. There may however be cases not yet encountered where this

recovery may not work (e.g. if the copier resets itself back to factory defaults).

To disable the system (remove the login screen) for administrator level access,

disable External Accounting Application as configured in Section 2.5.

6.4 Server Restarts

If the PaperCut Application Server is restarted while a copy session is in progress,

details of this session may be lost. Administrators should be aware of this limitation

and limit server restarts during periods of high activity.

6.5 Interface

The development team is aware of a number of design inconsistencies in the

interface:

 Limitation on colors and formatting

 Button placement is inconsistent or non-intuitive (OK buttons located on top-

right-hand corner rather than bottom-right-hand corner).

 Interface elements appear slightly off centre.

These limitations are within the Sharp OSA API. PaperCut Software has expressed

the need for improved interface control and layout to Sharp engineers and hopes that

this will improve in future releases.

6.6 “Limit” Jobs

On pre-OSA4 MFPs when PaperCut Restricted users exceed their PaperCut account

balances while copying, scanning or using other MFP functions, their current job is

stopped and put in the “Limit” state. Limit jobs remain at the start of the MFP job

queue from then on and need to be deleted from the MFP LCD before other jobs can

be processed.

On OSA4 and later MFPs, when PaperCut Restricted users exceed their PaperCut

account balances while copying, scanning or using other MFP functions, their current

job will be deleted. In these cases the job will not be completed.

OSA4 and later MFPs can be made to create Limit jobs like pre-OSA4 devices by

going to the PaperCut administration interface Devices tab, selecting the device then

going to the Config Editor tab and setting “ext-device.sharp_osa.create-limit-jobs” to

“Y”.

7 On-Device Printing

Many Sharp MFDs allow users to print from

 USB sticks inserted into the MFD.

 The MFP’s network folder (also called SMB pull printing).

 FTP (also called FTP pull printing).
