Enhancements

• Device Expiry:
  • For unlicensed devices, we’ve improved the behavior to allow continued access to the device’s native functionality. Previously, an unlicensed device would prevent any login. Now, users can log in to the device for native features, but cannot access PaperCut-specific functions like Print Release and Integrated Scanning. [PO-3577]
  • Administrators can now create new embedded devices even when an entitlement is not available. These devices will operate in an ‘Unlicensed Mode’, which still allows for the use of native device functionality. However, PaperCut-specific features such as Print Release, Integrated Scanning, and Card Self-Association will not be available in this mode. [PO-3608]
• Document Processing:
  • Document Processing settings section, under Options > Capture. A new banner has been added to remind administrators that to make Document Processing scan actions visible on devices, they must also enable ‘Enable Document Processing Scan Actions’ on each device’s individual settings page. [PO-3423]
  • When creating a scan action, if the required self-hosted Document Processing setup is incomplete, a new warning message is displayed. [PO-3421]
  • Improved Document Processing system reliability and recovery. [PO-3590]
• Reporting: Significantly improved the performance of several built-in reports, including the ‘User - Shared Account Usage’ and ‘Department Usage’ reports. When you use complex filtering options, these reports now load much faster. [PO-3160]
• Web Print: For Windows now runs on a 64-bit architecture, which significantly improves rendering performance and reduces processing time. In addition, new checks have been implemented to ensure that password-protected or encrypted documents and those with printing restrictions are identified and blocked, preventing failed print jobs. [PIE-935]

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the ‘Device Details’ page and other scan-related features would fail to load if the system.scan.ocr.mode advanced configuration key had an invalid or blank value. [PO-3560]
• Fixed an issue where the installation package for our Payment Gateway was updated to use a generic PaperCut logo, ensuring consistency across both PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF. [PO-3534]
• Fixed an issue where temporary scan job data was not automatically cleaned up from the mapdb database on the filesystem. Note: Any in-progress or pending scan jobs will be removed with this update. [PO-3527, PO-3509]
• Fixed an issue where disabling a device with Document Processing enabled would not release the license entitlement. [PO-3327]
• Fixed an issue where administrators with printer group restrictions could not access the ‘Jobs Pending Release’ page or the direct job release page. See known issue PO-3648 for more information.
• Fixed an issue that caused an error page to display when filtering the Printers or Devices pages in the Admin console by Alternative ID Number. See known issue PO-3690 for more information. Note: The fix is included in the updated build 74323 and onwards.
• Fixed an issue where attempting to upload a Not-For-Resale (NFR) or Trial license could fail and display an ‘Unable to resolve expression’ error. See known issue PO-3679 for more information. Note: The fix is included in the updated build 74323 and onwards.
• Fixed an issue in the installer where an existing license file could sometimes cause a ‘JRE file not found’ error during an upgrade. See known issue PO-3701 for more information. Note: The fix is included in the updated build 74376.

• Email to Print: Improved debug logging to help administrators diagnose and troubleshoot potential performance issues with Email to Print jobs. [PIE-924]
