This manual covers the Ricoh embedded MFD setup. For general PaperCut MF documentation, please see the PaperCut MF manual.
Overview
This manual provides an overview of the installation, configuration and operation of PaperCuts embedded software MFD (Multi-Function Device) solutions. Todays MFDs are smarter they have touch screens and offer the ability to run applications directly on the device. The goal of PaperCut Softwares embedded MFD solution is to leverage these smart devices and to provide walk-up copier users with the same set of rich application features provided in the print control area. These include: Secure access to device functions End user authentication including integration with single sign-on environments Monitoring and control of photocopying (quotas, charging, allocation and logging) Allocation of copying to accounts/departments/cost-centers/projects (shared accounts) Ability to locate shared accounts via select-from-list, keyword search or manual code/pin entry Release jobs from a hold/release queue (Secure & Find Me Printing) Tracking of faxing and scanning (for devices supporting SDK 4 or higher)
1.1 Consistency:
The embedded solutions are developed in-house by the PaperCut Software development team. This ensures that the copier interface is consistent with the workstation print interface, meaning users only have to learn one system.
1.2 Integration:
PaperCut is a single integrated solution where print, internet and copier control are all managed in the one system. Users have a single account and administrators have the same level of reporting and administration for all services. The embedded solution interacts with the PaperCut server using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and web services based protocols.

2 Installation
This section covers the installation of the PaperCut embedded application for compatible Ricoh devices. The embedded application will allow the control, logging and monitoring of walk-up off-the-glass copier, scan and fax usage and may serve as a release station for network prints (for information on just tracking network printing see the PaperCut user manual).
2.1 Requirements
Ensure that the following points are checked off before getting started: PaperCut is installed and running on your network. Please see the Installation section of the PaperCut user manual for assistance. Ensure that your Ricoh device supports ESA SDK version 2 or later. Check the device lists in 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 below. Ensure you know which SDK version your device supports. Installation instructions will vary slightly for different SDKs for older SDK 2 devices setup instructions can be found in Appendix 11 - Appendix: Setup for SDK 2.x Devices. Ensure that the Java card is installed. (This must be purchased and installed by a Ricoh technician). Ensure that the device has a hard disk drive (HDD) installed. A HDD is an option on some of the smaller MFPs. For SDK version 4 (or later) devices, the System Parameter SP-5113-2 must be set to Expansion Device 1. NOTE: This setting can only be changed by a Ricoh Technician. We recommend getting this changed when the Java card is installed. For devices prior to SDK 10.0, verify that the Other Function button is installed on the left of the Ricoh LCD screen (this is below the Copy/Fax/Scanner buttons see screenshot below). This button will activate the PaperCut embedded application and is usually installed by a Ricoh technician when the Java card is installed. The Other Function button is installed underneath the other Copier, Fax, and Scanner buttons on the left of the LCD screen.

Each authentication method is discussed in the following table. Authentication Method Username and password Identity number Description The user may use their domain/network username and password to log into the device. The user may log in with their identity number. Identity numbers are convenient when usernames are long or cumbersome to enter. For example, rather than entering a username like john.smith.001, it may be more convenient to enter an employee ID of 1234. See the PaperCut user manual for information about user identity numbers, including importing identity numbers from an external source. When a user logs in with their identity number, they must also provide their associated PIN. This provides additional security for identity number logins. When set the Identity number will be masked as entered (like a password entry field). The user may log in by swiping a card (e.g. magnetic strip, smart card, RFID). See the PaperCut user manual for information about user card numbers, including importing card numbers from an external source. NOTE: Only available on SDK version 4 (or higher) devices. See Appendix 9 for the list of supported card readers. Swipe card Require PIN Swipe card Enable self-association with existing user accounts Automatically login as user When a user logs in by swiping a card, they must also provide their associated PIN. This provides additional security for swipe card logins. Users can swipe cards previously not used or registered at the device with PaperCut and will be prompted for their username and password. The swipe card can then be used at subsequent logins. Specifies that this device should always automatically log in as the given user. This option overrides all other authentication methods

6 Advanced Configuration
6.1 Config Editor
The common configuration options for a device in PaperCut are available on the devices 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 ext-device.ricoh.locale Description Enter the locale (language setting) for display on the device in form xx or xx_XX if different from the devices locale. Examples: fr or pt_PT. The text displayed on the copier enabled screen (the screen where the device is ready for use/copying). This can be used to provide specific information about using the device. Use \n to create a new line. Default: DEFAULT (uses the default application text). 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.inactivity-timeoutsecs Defines how long to allow a user between key presses before they are automatically logged out. NOTE: The devices system auto-reset also impacts logout time. Default: 60 ext-device.card-no-regex ext-device.ricoh.cardreader.allow-sleep See chapter section 6.2. If a card-reader is connected, PaperCut will stop the MFP entering full sleep (it can still go into the energy saver mode). This is done to allow user to swipe their card to activate the device and login to the MFP. If the device is in full sleep mode, the PaperCut application is stopped so will not see the card reads or wake the device. To allow the device to go into full sleep mode, set this to: Y Default: N ext-device.ricoh.accountconfirm.auto-switch.seconds If account confirmation screen is being displayed this determines how long (in seconds) the screen is displayed before switching to the copy screen. It can also disable the auto-switch by setting this to 0. Default: DEFAULT (which is 8 seconds) ext-device.ricoh.sessionpage-limit When set to a non-zero value, this limits the number of pages a user can copy/scan/fax in a single login session. Once this page limit is reached the job is cancelled and user notified. The message can be customized using the

6.1.1 Customized Logos The embedded application header is a single full-width image has 2 header logos (as shown below). These logos can be replaced with your organizations logo.
There are 2 sizes of header logos for devices with different screen sizes. images\header.jpg (800x80 pixels) for large screen devices images\header-small.jpg (480x48) for small screen device
When providing replacement images: The images dimensions must be identical to the above. The devices can have trouble displaying some JPG images see Section 6.1.1.1 Tips for Saving JPG Images.
PaperCut also displays a title message and buttons in the header area. So these areas should be left clear in your logos as shown in the image below:
The area for the text should contrast the font color (white by default to change see Section 6.1.2), and should be positioned: Large screen (header.jpg): 75 pixels from the left Small screen (header-small.jpg): 40 pixels from the left.
This shows the two logos outlined in red. The images are must be saved as 8-bit bitmap (BMP) files with the following sizes: Icon logo (icon-logo.bmp) 64 x 64 pixels Text logo (text-logo.bmp) 150 x 32 pixels
These images should be saved in the images subdirectory of the application prior to creation of the ZIP file (see section 2.2.8.1).

6.1.1.1 Tips for Saving JPG Images Some issues have been found in the Ricoh MFP when displaying some JPG images. If the provided logo cannot be rendered then the header will appear blank. If this occurs, it is recommended that you use Microsoft Paint to save the image. Programs such as Adobe Photoshop save a modified Huffman Table that is not compatible with the Ricoh devices. If the image is still not displaying, it is recommended that you: 1. Try reducing the quality of the image. 2. Remove the thumbnail. This has been shown to sometimes stop the MFP from drawing the JPG. Use the JPG save options in your image editor to not include a thumbnail or use a tool like ExifTagRemover (http://www.rlvision.com/exif/). 6.1.2 Custom Header Font Color The header colors are defined in the config.properties file of the embedded application directory. Use a text editor to open/save this file prior to preparing the application ZIP file. Set the header-font-color value as required (defaults to white #FFFFFF). F) The color is specified using the hexadecimal web/HTML notation (#RRGGBB) where RR is the red component, GG is the green component and BB is the blue component. NOTE: The Ricoh devices have a limited color palette (216 colors) and will convert the colors to the closest color. It is recommended to use one of the following hexadecimal color values for each color component: 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, FF.

4. Ensure the card number, as read by the reader, is loaded into the Card Number field in the PaperCut database (or consider using user self-association). Swipe cards contain numbers used to identify users according to the card number configured in the User Details screen under Card/Identity number. Some readers report information in addition to the number encoded on the card, such as checksums. PaperCut can treat these cases in three ways:
Card Number Format Converters In addition to extracting parts of the card numbers using regular expressions, converting numbers from one format to another is a common requirement. For example a card reader may report in hexadecimal format, while the number stored in the source (e.g. Active Directory) is in a decimal format. PaperCut includes a number of inbuilt converters to assist here.
Note: Many card readers are configurable - the number format can be changed at the hardware level via utility or configuration tools. PaperCuts software-level converters are there to support card readers that dont offer this level of configuration, or where a global software-level conversion is a better choice. For example it may be quicker to do the

conversion in PaperCut rather than manually reprogram 100+ readers! Like regexs, the convertors may be defined on either a global (all devices) or on a perdevice basis. To set globally:
Options -> Actions -> Config Editor Search for ext-device.card-no-converter Enter the name of the required converter (see table below) and click Update
Devices -> [select device] -> Advanced Config Editor Search for ext-device.card-no-converter Enter the name of the required converter (see table below) and click Update
dec2hex ascii-enc

1. Create a file text file [install-path]/server/custom/card.js 2. Define a single JavaScript function in this file called convert It should accept and return a single string. Here is a trivial example: function convert(cardNumber) { return cardNumber.substring(3,10).toLowerCase(); } 3. Enter a converter in the form: javascript:custom/card.js
Tip: Check the file [install-path]/server/log/server.log when testing. Any scripting errors will be displayed as warning messages in the log. Tip: A Javascript script may also be included in the pipeline. For example ascii-enc|hex2dec|javascript:custom/card.js Other advanced notes
If both a regular expression and a converter are defined, the regular expression is applied first. This means a regular expression can be used to clean up the input (e.g. remove checksum or delimiters) before passing to a converter. In some special situations a custom JavaScript implementation may not be enough. For example there may be a requirement to use a 3rd party system to decrypt the number. PaperCut includes an advanced plugin architecture that the PaperCut Software development team uses to implement these advanced converters. Please contact support to discuss development options and costs.

6.5.1 Enable Application Switch Button(s) PaperCut allows for up to two application switch buttons. These buttons appear after the user logs in on the copier enabled screen. The first step is to determine the product id of the application to create the button for. The product id is the unique identifier for an application. To find the number: Login to the device web admin Navigate to Configuration -> Extended Feature Settings -> Extended Feature Info. Locate the application and press the small list icon next to the application. This will display detailed information about the application, which includes the application product ID. See the screenshot below showing the application information for the PaperCut embedded application. The product id is a 9 digit number and is highlighted below.
To configure the application switch buttons: Login to the PaperCut admin site On the Devices tab, select the Ricoh device to configure Select the Advanced Config tab. Locate the entry ext-device.ricoh.app-button1.label. This is the text that appears on the application button. Change the button label to as appropriate, and press the Update button next to the setting. Locate the entry ext-device.ricoh.app-button1.product-id. This will be set to DISABLED to indicate the button is disabled. Enter the product id of the application and press the Update button. Confirm that the settings were saved. The settings will take effect after a short period of time.
To create a second application switch button perform the same steps setting the extdevice.ricoh.app-button2.label and ext-device.ricoh.app-button2.product-id settings. To disable the application buttons set the product id settings to DISABLED.

At the current time the Ricoh MFPs do not support tracking of USB print jobs performed by users. This is a limitation in the current SDK. Ricoh are aware of this limitation and PaperCut have requested that this capability be added to future devices. To disable USB printing completely: at the MFP select User Tools/Counter->System Settings->Administrator Tools->Media Slot Use->Print from Memory Storage Device, and set this to Prohibit. 7.1.2 Zero Stop In an ideal implementation, PaperCut would be able to control exactly how many pages a user can copy and always prevent the user from overdrawing their account. On the Ricoh SDK PaperCut is informed after each page is copied/scanned/etc. This limits how strictly we can control usage because we only learn of the usage after it has occurred. Once PaperCut detects that the user has no available credit to continue it instructs the MFP to stop the job. In some cases this may result in a small overrun. This overrun may also happen where different page types have different costs (e.g. for color and BW pages). The user may have enough credit to perform B&W copying (but not color) so PaperCut allows the job to continue. If a user then copies a color page, this will be detected and the job will be stopped, but this color page will be printed resulting in a small overrun. If the user is detected to no have credit for color copying at the time of login, the color copying function is disabled. 7.1.3 Fax Tracking Due to limitations in the Ricoh device, the PaperCut application is only notified of fax events when the user is logged in to the device. Depending on the size of the fax, it may take a number of minutes to deliver and receive the successful notification. If the user has logged out, the fax will not be logged. This is an unfortunate limitation in the Ricoh device SDK, and we are working with Ricoh to resolve this. To mitigate this problem, PaperCut will disable the automatic logout timeout when a fax job is started, and then restarts the time-out when the fax is received. This means that faxes will be logged OK as long as the user does not press the Logout button. If another user logs in and then the fax transmission is completed, the fax may be charged against this new user. It is recommended to change the Fax transmission mode to Immediate TX. This is discussed in section 2.2.7. 7.1.4 Track/control usage from 3rd party applications The Ricoh ESA SDK does not allow PaperCut is to track or control MFP usage (e.g. copy/scan/fax) initiated from 3rd party applications (e.g. GlobalScan NX). When the built-in copy/scan/fax applications are used, the Ricoh device notifies the PaperCut application of the usage, and PaperCut can cancel the job if the user does not have credit.

When usage is performed from 3rd party applications the PaperCut application is not notified of the usage, so this usage cannot be tracked or controlled. This is as a result of a limitation in the ESA SDK that doesnt notify PaperCut of this usage. This has been confirmed with Ricoh, and PaperCut has requested this functionality be considered for a future platform release. 7.1.5 Limitations for devices with SDK 4.x, 5.x, & 7.x (i.e. less than 10.x) PaperCut makes use of some functionality available on devices running Ricoh SDK 10 (or higher). These are mostly small usability improvements. If the device is running an older SDK version (e.g. 4.x, 5.x, or 7.x) then these features are not available: The Logout hard button cannot be used to logout when the application is not in focus. A card swipe cannot wake the device in sleep. The user must press the screen or other button. Automatically switch to the copy screen after login. The user must press the function key to select the application to use. This also applies to the Show account confirmation option disabling this will have no effect on these older devices.
To disable the embedded application to allow for uncontrolled access to the copier, see the Uninstall section of this document.

The PaperCut embedded application is not listed in the applications to install? This can happen if the embedded application is not copied to the Java SD card in the correct location/format. Check that files were copied to the card as described in the setup instructions. Can I allow users free/unauthenticated scanning and continue to charge for copying? Yes. The recommended way to do this is to disabled the Enhanced External Charge Unit for the scanning function (see 2.2.5.3). This will allow user to scan without authenticating at the MFP. When I connect the card reader the message Incompatible USB device has been connected appears in the LCD screen status are? This message is from the MFP not the PaperCut application. This indicates that Ricoh does not recognize the connected USB card reader. However the reader can still work with PaperCut if its a supported card reader. A Ricoh technician can disable this message by configuring the following system parameter: SP 5-844-100 setting the value to 0.

I see an error on the Ricoh LCD screen? This may indicate a configuration issue, or maybe a software bug. Re-check your settings and restart the MFD (i.e. power-off and power-on the copier). If problems continue, please collect the Ricoh log files (see KB article) and contact PaperCut Support. My users have symbols in their passwords and/or its difficult to enter their usernames. What options do I have? The Shift button will offer addition symbols. Use of this is however cumbersome. You may wish to instruct your users to change their network passwords so they only contain standard characters. Another option is to enable the ID/Pin authentication option. This may be used in addition or as a replacement to username and password authentication and can be limited to numbers only. I have thousands of accounts representing my clients. Will the system handle this? Yes. We have designed the system to handle thousands of Shared Accounts. Users with many accounts will also be presented with some power options to help them find accounts including keywords based search.

4. On the PaperCut server, open the directory that contains the embedded application:
[app-dir]\providers\hardware\ricoh\403046656 5. Open the "connection.properties" file in this folder and verify the server-name and server-ip are set to the network name and address of the PaperCut server. It is recommended to set the server-name to a name that can be resolved by the Ricoh copier (e.g. the DNS name of the PaperCut server). 6. Use a ZIP tool to create a zip file containing all the files in the above directory. The name of the ZIP file name is not important. 7. Copy the ZIP file to location where you will perform the installation from (i.e. any workstation with network access to the Ricoh devices).
11.1.4 Install the application To install the application, perform the following steps:

20. Press the Install link. 21. A confirmation screen will appear. Verify the install options and press the OK button. 22. The application will be installed. You can confirm by selecting the Extended Feature Settings -> Startup Setting option from the Configuration page.
11.1.5 Set Default Application and System Timeout The PaperCut embedded application is now installed on the Ricoh MFP device. For the PaperCut embedded application to run effectively it must be configured as the default application and a system reset timeout should be set. This gives PaperCut full control of the copier and forces the user to login before using the copier. To do this: 8. On the device go to the Ricoh admin/settings by pressing the "User Tools/Counter" hard key (on the top left of the device panel). 9. Press the "System Settings" button. 10. On the "General Features" tab, select the "Function Priority" setting. 11. Select "JavaTM/X" and press "OK 12. Select the "Timer Settings" tab. 13. Select the "System Auto Reset Timer" option. 14. Enable the timer by pressing the "On" button and set the timeout to something reasonable. We recommend setting this to between 30 and 60 seconds. There is a trade-off setting the timeout. If it is set too short, then it will be annoying for users. If it is set too long and users forget to logout other users could charge copies to the previous users account.
11.1.6 Starting the Embedded Application Once the application is installed and configured it can be started via the web interface. Navigate to Device Configuration->Extended Feature Settings->Startup Setting. Alternatively, the embedded application can be started at the device itself. 6. Go to the Ricoh admin/settings by pressing the "User Tools/Counter" hard key (on the left of the device panel). 7. Press the "Extended Feature Settings" button at the bottom of the screen. 8. On the "Extended Features Settings" screen, select the "Startup Setting" tab. 9. The running applications are highlighted. To start the PaperCut application, press the PaperCut MF application button. 10. The device will display a "Please wait ..." dialog until the application starts.

11. Once started, exit the admin screens by pressing Exit twice. 12. Press the "Other function" hard button (which is below the copy/fax buttons on the left this can also be replaced with a custom button). The PaperCut application will then appear as shown below. On SDK 10.x+ devices, the PaperCut application can be found after pressing the Home hardware button. 13. The first time the PaperCut application runs, it prompts for a friendly name to register the device in PaperCut (e.g. admin-copier). The name should uniquely identify the device on your network. Using the same name as the copiers print queue is recommended. Enter the name and press Save.
14. The PaperCut application then attempts to connect to the PaperCut server. If it successfully connects to the server, you will be presented with the Welcome screen (see below).
15. The Ricoh device will appear in the PaperCut administration interface under the Devices tab with the name you provided in the steps above. It will be created using the cost settings of the [Template Printer].
The embedded application is configured to auto-start which means that when the MFP device is rebooted/restarted the PaperCut application will start automatically. The embedded application is now successfully installed. To use the photocopier, the users must login to the application, and any copying they perform is logged in PaperCut.

11.2.2.1 Customized Logos The embedded application header has 2 header logos (as shown below). These logos can be replaced with your organizations logo.
This shows the two logos outlined in red. The images are must be saved as 8-bit bitmap (BMP) files with the following sizes: Icon logo (icon-logo.bmp) 64 x 64 pixels Text logo (text-logo.bmp) 150 x 32 pixels
These images should be saved in the images subdirectory of the application prior to installation.
11.2.3 Custom Header Color The header colors are defined in the config.properties file of the embedded application directory. Use a text editor to open/save this file prior to installing the application. The settings that define the colors are: header-background-color the background color (defaults to green - #006633) header-font-color the title text color (defaults to white - #FFFFFF)
