This release has the following salient enhancement:
Auto reset option - Device users can scan documents with large number of pages only if the default auto reset time of 30 seconds is changed to a higher value.
Nested Buttons - You can configure the top level button to be a group button under which there can be multiple buttons. For example, the top level button could be AccuRoute under which feature buttons like MyAccuRoute, Scan to Folder etc. can be nested together. Depending on the need, you can configure multiple levels which means that a group button can have another group button containing a group of feature buttons.
Custom button Images - You can configure custom button images that can be dynamically retrieved via an URL. These custom button images should all be stored in the \SCRIPTS directory in order for them to be dynamically retrieved. If the custom images are not configured, the device displays the default AccuRoute button images.
Scan option enhancements - Additional scan options are now available to the user. For example, the "File Type" option allows the user to select the format in which the scanned document will be delivered.
Print confirmation - Simple (text) confirmation will be used by default. For PDF to work a postscript card will need to be installed on the device.
Note: PDF print confirmation requires that the Ricoh device supports PDF printing.
Remote install - Ricoh Embedded Software Architecture (ESA) Device Client, can now be installed using the Omtool Server Administrator instead of using the SD card. This is the recommended method of pushing out the AccuRoute buttons to the Ricoh device as well.
Prompts.- You can configure prompts for Personal and Public Distributions, Routing Sheet, Fax and MyAccuRoute features using the configuration.xml file. For the Public and Personal Distributions features, prompts can be configured in the xml file or on the Omtool Server. In the server, the prompts are configured in the Embedded Directive.
Secure encrypted communication Secure communication via HTTPs is now provided between the Ricoh device and the AccuRoute Server.
Improved user interface- The user interface has changed from prior versions.
The following issues were resolved in this release.
17447 - When installing Ricoh Embedded Software Architecture (ESA) Device Client using the SDK card, the client fails to install on the device on first attempt.
15473 - Logged information is lost if auto reset timeout occurs during scanning & posting of files.
12340 – Integration of the Ricoh Embedded kit is slow.
