Enhancements:

• Tuned Java parameters to improve Application Server performance on large sites.
• Pay Station: When a Pay Station fails to connect to the Application Server to update a user's balance, the Pay Station now displays an error message and prints a transaction error report (if an acknowledgement printer is attached), so the user has proof that the transaction did not succeed.

Fixes:

• Reduced the CreateSSLKeystore default certificate validity duration to not exceed 2038, to safeguard older devices running into a 2038 date rollover issue.
• macOS High Sierra (CUPS): Reduced the time it takes for a printer to be available in the Control Printer Monitoring.command script.
• Standard Release station via Site Server: Fixed an issue that caused an empty print release list for Hold/Release queue managers.
• Fixed an issue that caused the number of devices to be incorrectly reported.
• Integrated Scanning: Fixed an issue preventing Integrated Scanning failure notifications when the MFP is connected to a Site Server.
• User Client:
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the User Client from launching when the User Client icon was double-clicked in the Windows task tray.
  • Fixed an issue that caused high memory usage, especially when a high number of shared accounts are used.
  **Note: User Clients require an upgrade.
• Web Print:
  • Fixed an issue that caused the "Maximum document/file upload size" value to be ignored and set to 256MB instead.
  • Sandbox mode: Fixed an issue that caused multiple print jobs to be generated for each Web Print job in some virtual environments.
  ***Note: Web Print sandbox servers require an upgrade.
• Google Cloud Print:
  • Fixed a rare issue that caused a Google Cloud Print job to be printed multiple times.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented PaperCut MF from publishing all printers to Google Cloud Print when there were a large number of printers.
• Printer compatibility improvements:
  • RISO ComColor with PaperCut Global Print Driver: Added a new PDL transform to fix an issue that caused the printed output to have incorrect settings when printing in duplex, color, or selecting specific tray settings.
  • Canon printers on Linux and MacOS: Fixed an issue that caused an incorrect number of copies and pages to be reported for some Canon devices when using CUPS printing.
  • Epson printers: Fixed an issue that caused an incorrect number of copies and pages to be reported for some Epson printers.
  ****Note: Secondary servers require a Print Provider upgrade.

  • Improved security by adding an advanced config key ("secure-app-server-url) to ensure incoming requests from an MFP are secure using SSL.
  • Fixed an issue that caused PaperCut MF to stop working with the device when "ext-device.toshiba.secure-odca" was enabled.
• Toshiba (MDS):
  • Improved security by adding the following advanced config keys:
    • secure-scanning - ensures calls to the MFP for scanning are secure using SSL.
    • secure-app-server-url - ensures incoming requests from an MFP are secure using SSL.
  • Fixed an issue that caused a long custom login message to flow over other elements on the screen (e.g. username and password).
  • Fixed an issue that caused the "Job Status" button on the Print Release screen to disappear when there were no held print jobs.

  • The text label of the "Select All" checkbox on the Print Release screen is now clickable.
  • Fixed an issue that caused an error message when a user tried to log in if:
    • "ext-device.home-screen.show-balance" was set to Y, and
