Configuring a custom look of the login screen - Xerox

It is possible to configure what a Xerox MFD displays on the login screen. For example, an administrator might use this to display the company logo and environment-specific user authentication instructions including contact to an internal help desk. This is not a feature of Dispatcher Paragon but rather of the Xerox devices themselves.

Dispatcher Paragon configures its own look of the login screen when you install a Xerox embedded terminal. However, in the default configuration, it will also overwrite any manual changes made to the screen any time a user selects a different language on the device, or the first time a user logs in after a server restart. This is done so that users can see login instructions in their own language. To customize the look, the administrator has two options:

  • Take advantage of a configuration option in Dispatcher Paragon that allows defining one custom line of text, or

  • Configure the custom look after terminal installation using Xerox tools, and disable the screen overwriting in Dispatcher Paragon.

How to configure a custom line of text on the login screen

Use the configuration property welcome-to-safeq-text in Dispatcher Paragon System Configuration, in the Terminal UI category.

How to disable login screen overwriting

Add the configuration property keepCustomXeroxLoginScreen with the value "true" to the <spoc_folder>\terminalserver\TerminalServer.exe.config configuration file (usually C:\DispatcherParagon\SPOC\terminalserver\TerminalServer.exe.config).
