Item	Description
Enable Local Authentication	Specify whether or not to enable local user authentication.
Enable New User Auto-creation at Login	Specify whether or not to register a user automatically to the system when the user logs in and has not registered to the system yet.
Enable User Information Auto-update at Login	Specify whether or not to update the user automatically when the user attributes on the LDAP server and the database do not match.
Attributes to be Updated	You can synchronize the user attributes. Select the items to synchronize from the following: [Display Name] [Email] [Fax] [Home Folder] [User Group] [Department] [Cost Center] [User PIN] [Account Limit]
Enable Language Registration per User	Specify whether or not a general user can register a display language to the operation screen of the device.
Hide PIN in UI and Encrypt in Database	Specify whether or not to encrypt the user PINs in database. When it is enabled, the options in the [User Setting] tab in [Users] in [User Management] cannot be changed either.

Hide Job Name Column from Job Queue	Specify whether or not to hide the document name and job name columns in the delivery job and print job lists. When it is enabled, the document names and job owners' names on the print spooler of Delegation Server are also masked with asterisks
Encrypt Job Name in DS-Print database	Specify whether or not to encrypt the job name of the secure print jobs with AES128. When it is enabled, only the job owners and administrators can display the job name. When [Encrypt Job Name in DS-Print database] is enabled, no Job Name filter is available in job queue.
Don’t Record Job Name in Accounting Transactions	Specify whether or not to record the job name in accounting transaction. When it is enabled, the job name does not appear in reports.
Don’t Record User Name in Accounting Transactions	Specify whether or not to record user names in accounting transactions. The slnxuser_id field in slnx_job table is left blank (Null) when a user name is not recorded. [Target Users/Groups/Departments]: Specify the users, groups, or departments whose user names are not recorded in accounting transactions. [Target Devices/Groups]: Specify the devices or device groups for which user names are not recorded in accounting transactions. Masking will take effect at the time it is enabled. The user names of the transaction data generated before enabling masking are not masked.
Permission Merge Setting	Specify how to merge permissions for users who belong to multiple targets. A user who is in multiple target settings will receive the maximum permissions (OR) when the permissions are merged. A user who is in multiple target settings will receive the minimum permissions (AND) when the permissions are merged. The default is [A user who is in multiple target settings will receive the maximum permissions (OR) when the permissions are merged.]
Enforce Color Page Limit	Specify whether or not to allow the user to continue printing in color when the maximum number of color prints has been exceeded. [Alert Threshold]: To send a notification, specify the remaining number of pages that can be printed in color. The default is 5.
Enforce Account Limit	Specify whether or not to allow the user to continue printing when the maximum numbers of both monochrome and color prints have been exceeded. The following are enabled when this option is checked. [Managed in Authentication Server] Specify whether to use LDAP attributes to enable or disable the account limits. This option is available when [Enforce Account Limit] is enabled. [Alert Threshold]: To send a notification, specify the remaining number of pages that can be printed either in black-and-white or color. Default is 10 When [Managed in Authentication Server] is checked, the following are enabled. [Default Enable] Specifies whether the account limit is enabled when a user has neither or both attributes specified in [Attributes to Enable Account Limit] and [Attributes to Disable Account Limit]. This option is not available when either of [Enforce Account Limit] or [Managed in Authentication Server] is disabled. [Attributes to Enable Account Limit] Specify the attributes to be used for enabling a user's account limit. Multiple attributes can be specified by separating them using a comma (,). When a value includes a comma (,), double quote the whole value. This option is not available when either [Enforce Account Limit] or [Managed in Authentication Server] is disabled. [Attributes to Disable Account Limit] Specify the attributes to be used for disabling a user's account limit. Multiple attributes can be specified by separating them using a comma (,). However, a comma cannot be used for separating numbers. This option is not available when either [Enforce Account Limit] or [Managed in Authentication Server] is disabled.
Enable Cost Center	Specify whether or not to use the Cost Center function.
Enable Cost Center Association	Specify whether or not to apply the cost center associated with a logged-in user. When this item is disabled, the user can select the cost center after logging in to a device. Even when a login user selects a cost center, the default cost center of the guest user is applied to guest user jobs, host printing, and reception fax printing. In addition, no cost center is specified in direct printing.
Zero Count Stop	When enabled, the Streamline NX Embedded Applications stop a copy or print job at the page the user's point runs out. When disabled, a print job is canceled if the user's remaining balance calculated by the Streamline NX Embedded Applications is not enough to complete printing. A copy job is not interrupted once it is started even if the user's point runs out. A copy job is not interrupted once it is started even if the user’s point runs out. Zero Count Stop is a setting effective for a device not equipped with a finisher. To use Zero Count Stop when using a device with a finisher, enable [Zero Count Stop With Finisher]. A copy job is not interrupted even if the color page point runs out. The user with no color page point remaining can log in to a device but can only use black and white copying and fax functions, while the user with no point remaining can log in to a device but cannot use the copy and fax functions.
Zero Count Stop With Finisher	This setting is available when the [Zero Count Stop] check box is selected. Specify whether or not to enable Zero Count Stop when printing is performed on a device with a finisher.
Apply Pricing By	Specify whether the pricing tables are configured by Devices and Device Groups or Users and Departments. Devices and Device Groups Pricing tables are configured by devices and device groups. Users and Departments Pricing tables are configured by users and departments. For details about pricing tables, see Pricing Table.

Limitations for Zero Count Stop

If a copy job is interrupted by Zero Count Stop while copying is performed on a device with a finisher, a piece of paper of the job may remain in the finisher.
Zero Count Stop is disabled on devices for which SNMPv2 is disabled.
Direct print jobs are not restricted, but expend the user’s point.
Print jobs without user name are not restricted.
When a user logs in to multiple devices at the same time, Zero Count Stop is disabled.
Even if a print job fails because of an error (e.g. a paper jam), the printed part of the job expends the user’s point.
When using Zero Count Stop, a print job may be interrupted even if the user’s remaining point is sufficient for the job, or it may not stop even if the user’s point runs out during printing.
If the user logs out from the device while printing or copying, the job is interrupted. In this case, the printed part of the job expends user’s point.
When Zero Count Stop is disabled, the user’s balance may be negative after all print jobs are complete. It is because the print jobs are allowed based on the estimated balance of the user’s point.
If enough attributes cannot be obtained from a print job, it is treated as a job with the following attributes:
- Black & White
- 1 Sided
- Number of faces/2 pieces of paper
All copied pages are counted as one-sided when the cost is calculated because an insufficient number of attributes can be obtained regarding the sides for each page. Therefore, set both [2 sided] AND [1 Sided] for copy jobs on the [Cost Per Page] tab in [Pricing Table]. Refer to Pricing Table for instructions. The screen capture below depicts the addition of the Pricing rule for built-in copy jobs.
