Configuring IC Card Mode

Allow Direct Printing from Third-Party Systems

Sharp devices authorize all job owners to prevent unauthorized direct printing. When a customer wants to release print jobs from third-party systems where the job owner does not exist in Dispatcher Paragon, it is possible to allow it by adding <add key="sharpAllowUnauthorizedDirectPrint" value="true" /> into TerminalServer.exe.config. After doing so, all print requests from unknown users will be accepted.

Direct print jobs are accounted under the "-unknown-" user by default because the job owner is not known in Dispatcher Paragon. It is possible to account all jobs under one generic account by adding <add key="sharpUnauthorizedDirectPrintUser" value="sap" /> into TerminalServer.exe.config. The requirement is that the user specified in this option, sap in the example, is a valid Dispatcher Paragon user account.

Uninstalling Sharp Embedded Terminal 

When you need to uninstall Sharp Embedded Terminal completely, you need to remove the terminal in the standard manner, and then remove Dispatcher Paragon settings from the Sharp device.

• Remove all Dispatcher Paragon applications: System Settings > Standard Application Settings. Select all Dispatcher Paragon applications and click the Delete button.
  
• Remove the External Accounting application: System Settings > External Accounting Application Settings. Set External Account Control to Disable, and submit changes.
  

Manually Installing Sharp Embedded Terminal

When the automatic installation fails, you can still install Sharp Embedded Terminal, but installation contains several manual steps that have to be done.

• Stop the Terminal Server service. 
• Insert <add key="forceSharpOsa5InstallationSuccess" value="true" /> before the tag </appSettings> to the TerminalServer.exe.config file.

• Start the Terminal Server service.
• Install Sharp Embedded Terminal.
• The next steps contain placeholders <SQ_IP> and <terminalId>. Both of them have to be replaced by the correct value otherwise Sharp Embedded Terminal will not work properly. The placeholder <SQ_IP> has to replaced by the IP address of Dispatcher Paragon and <terminalId> has to be replaced by the current Terminal ID which can be found in the Terminal Server log after the installation of Sharp Embedded Terminal.
