35Configuration Options
there is something special about the setup type, such as session time is 10 minutes rather than the
standard 3 minutes on site, it should be made reference to here. E.g. ‘MB20 Copier 10min’. Again,
you are limited to 20 alpha numeric characters.
Model
A drop down list containing all current models available. Which model you choose does not affect
the operation of the terminal, it is just for reporting purposes.
Run Mode
In later versions of terminal firmware it is possible to alter the run mode of the terminal via this
option. Available settings are: Standard (default), Fax, Remote, Multi-Mode, Serial, Retail and Print.
User Prompt
Displays the prompt on the top line of the terminal during a session. Available options are Primary,
Secondary, Auxiliary or Disbursement. The default setting is Primary which displays the users
name.
Duration
If the terminal doesn’t see any activity on the Main count optos, it will wait this long before
automatically ending the session and returning to the initial prompt. There is always a trade off
between usability and security here – you don’t want this too short so that it will end a session
before the user has scanned all their pages into the digital copier, but you don’t want it so long so
that there’s more risk of someone else using the resource if the user walks away without pushing
the finish button on the terminal.
Extended Session
The user can press the function button on the terminal during a session and turn the session
timeout off so that the session will never end unless the finish or cancel button is pressed. It is valid
for that session only.
Allow Interrupt
Enable the interrupt feature on the terminal to be used. This allows someone to interrupt another
user’s current job without ending their session, carrying out a transaction of their own and then
passing it back to the original user.
Narration Enabled
If also enabled in the Disbursement configuration, this will allow a prompt for narration to appear
after the user has authenticated on the terminal. The prompt is defined in the box below.
Display Time
The amount of time information and warning messages appear on the terminal’s screen. If this time
is extended, the apparent time it takes to initiate a session will increase. It is time in seconds and
the minimum value is 0.1.
Scrolling Speed
Used when the message being displayed on the screen is longer than the number of screen
characters. This is measured in pixels per second. Setting it to 0.1 will move the message one pixel
to the left every 0.1 seconds.
Scrolling Delay
The number of seconds that the over-sized message will display on the screen before beginning to
scroll.
Auto Number Entry
When enabled this function will cause the Terminal to simulate <Enter> key being pressed when the
