Configuring Xerox MFD Built on ConnectKey

This manual was created based on Xerox WorkCentre 7835, and should be applicable to most MFDs built on ConnectKey™, although slight differences may occur.

Before Installing Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal

Time settings

Go to the Properties tab > General Setup > Date and Time.

Make sure you set the time to match the Dispatcher Paragon Server time or specify automatic time configuration via an NTP server.

Scan services for scanning with workflows

You will need to enable Scan Template Management in device configuration for scanning with workflows later.

Go to the Properties tab > Services > Printing > Printing Web Services, and then enable the options Scan Template Management and Scan Extensions. Also make sure that Xerox Secure Access and Authentication & Accouting configuration are enabled:

You might also want to check that the Confirmation Sheets for Scanning Workflows are set to print only in case of an error. Otherwise, there might be a page printed every time someone uses the Scan option in the Dispatcher Paragon terminal.

Go to the Properties tab > Services > Workflow Scanning > General Settings. Set Confirmation Sheet to Errors Only.

Proceed with the MFD installation in Dispatcher Paragon to complete the installation of Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal. Check the installation status and installation steps.

If there some warnings appear during the installation, you will need to do some further settings of the MFD based on the messages you see. In that case, the following information should help you with configuring your Xerox MFD.

After the Installation of Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal

These settings are necessary only if requested by the Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal installation or if customization of the configuration is requested.

Accounting Workflow, User Accounting Prompts, Validation for Accounting Codes

Go to the Properties tab > Login / Permissions / Accounting > Accounting Method

Then, configure the Accounting Workflow, User Accounting Prompts and Validation for Accounting Codes. Click the respective Edit buttons.

Accounting Workflows:

Please note that there are two possible configurations depending on the selected features. When payments are used, Pre-Authorization and Capture Usage must be used. In other cases, Capture Usage must be used. (Please note that without payments, the Pre-Authorization will cause a malfunction. For example, selecting the copy function and starting copying will perform the scanning part of the process, but then the MFD will wait for user verification.)

  • Payments are used
