Time Configuration

Time settings have to be configured for the proper accounting of jobs and the assignment of billing codes to these jobs.

Go to Web Administration > Settings > Security > Set Date and Time, and configure Daylight Saving Time Settings and Time Zone Settings to comply with the configuration of your server where Terminal Server is running.

Next, there are two options possible based on the availability of the NTP (time) server in your network:

1. If an NTP server is available, set all the necessary details in the section Network Time Protocol, and tap Submit.

2. If an NTP server is not available, in the section Set Date and Time, set the timezone, date and time to the time of the server where Terminal Server is running, and tap Submit. If set, this will disable the NTP server.

   WARNING: Be sure to set the time as precisely as possible (in means of seconds) to avoid errors in assigning billing codes to scan and copy jobs. It is better for the MFD to have the clock set slightly ahead, than behind.

   

Security Configuration

If you have installed Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal in To each application mode (see Embedded Terminal installation), you might want to also configure other applications to be protected by Dispatcher Paragon authentication (note that Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal is protected by default).

After Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal installation, go to Web Administration > Settings > Security > Security Setup > Access Controls

Then open, for instance, the Function Access folder and select the feature you want to protect with Dispatcher Paragon authentication by selecting the Dispatcher Paragon authentication profile and tapping Submit.

Panel Login Timeout

To configure the timeout after which a user is logged out from the Home screen, go to Web Administration > Settings > Security > Miscellaneous Security Settings > Login Restrictions and set up the timeout as required. The value is in seconds.

Creating an Administrator Account and Preparing the Public User for Installation

Administrator account creation

First of all, an administrator account has to be created on a device to be able to configure the permissions of the Public user.

1. Go to Setting > Security > Local Accounts and tap Add User button.

2. Then create the admin account and do not forget to select the permission group with all permissions in the Permission Groups section. You can also create a new permission group if necessary by tapping the Add New Group button in the Permission Groups section.

3. Always login as the administrator when you want to configure the device.

Adding permissions to the Public user

To be able to install or reinstall Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal for Lexmark, an administrator has to grant all permissions to the Public user. The Public user is used by Terminal Server for the installation, and without permissions, the installation fails.

1. Go to Setting > Security > Manage Permissions.

2. In the Manage Permissions view, grant all permissions.

3. When the Public user has all permissions granted, you can continue with the installation based on the Authentication mode.

Configuring Lexmark Devices with the To device Authentication Mode

This section describes how to configure Lexmark devices with framework 5 and 6 (Android device) to be used with the To device Authentication mode.

In Dispatcher Paragon web interface, select To device and continue with the installation.

There is a Lexmark limitation in framework 5 and 6 preventing configuring the security setting during the installation process. Therefore, the following manual step is required after Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal installation from Dispatcher Paragon.

To have the Dispatcher Paragon login screen on a device, an administrator has to add the required permissions to All users and remove permissions from the Public user.

1. Go to Security > Additional Login Methods and tap Manager Permissions.

2. In the view Manages Permissions, tap the All Users line.

3. In the Edit Solution Group view, grant all or the required permissions (at least Apps and Function Access are required) to All users.

Then go back to the Public user settings, and remove all permissions except B/W Print and Color Print.

4. Go to Setting > Security > Manage Permissions.

5. In the Manage Permissions view, set the permissions according to the picture below.

Then set up Dispatcher Paragon Authentication to be the default authentication for the Control Panel.

6. Go to Setting > Security and in the Additional Login Methods click Change next to the Default Control Panel Login Method.

7. Select Dispatcher Paragon Authentication Module for the Control Panel.

8. If possible, go to the device and tap the HOME button for the changes to take effect.

Configuring Lexmark Devices with the To each application Authentication Mode

This section describes how to configure Lexmark devices with framework 5 and 6 (Android device) to be used with the To each application Authentication mode.

In Dispatcher Paragon web interface, select To each application and continue with the installation.

There is a Lexmark limitation in framework 5 and 6 preventing configuring the security setting during the installation process. Therefore, the following manual step is required after Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal installation from Dispatcher Paragon.

To have the Dispatcher Paragon login screen displayed when a user taps to the required printer feature, the feature cannot be available to the Public user. Therefore, it is necessary to remove all features that require authentication.

1. Go to Setting > Security > Manage Permissions.

2. In Manage Permission, open a Function Access list and uncheck the features that should be available only after login. Usually, they are Copy Function, Copy Color Printing, B/W Print and Color Print.
