1.6 Copy Control on MFPs
If you wish to control the copy function on Multifunction Printers (MFPs) the
MFP must be networked and in most cases you need a special SafeCom MFP
cable. The tables in the following shows the MFPs that allow the SafeCom
solution to control the copy function and count the number of copied pages
(requires SafeCom Tracking).
The number (nnn010) is the SafeCom part number of the cable. Please contact
safecom_sales@nuance.com to hear about support for other MFPs.

Note: Unless mentioned explicitly the MFPs can only report the number of
copied pages and does not provide information about paper size or use of color
and duplex.
A Supports paper size and duplex information.
B Supports color detection on a per copy page basis.
C Page counter is updated at end of copy job and after every 50 or 100 pages
depending on model.
D Page counter is updated at end of copy job.
Note: Some of the MFPs that are unable to provide information about paper
size or use of color try to compensate for this lack of detail by reporting a
higher number of copied pages. One popular method is to report that two
pages are copied when actually one monochrome A3 page or one color A4 page
is copied. Likewise one color A3 page would be reported as 4 pages.
When a SafeCom Controller and stand-alone card reader is used, copying can
begin only after any pending Pull Print jobs have been printed. If a SafeCom
Front-end is attached the user is free to log in to copy, print or both.

2.7.4 Printer web page
The Printer web page can be opened from the Advanced Configuration web
page (2.7.2) by clicking on Printer.
Select Network – Port 9100 if the SafeCom Controller connects to the printer
via the network. On the obsolete SafeCom Controller 3 Port and 1 Port select
Parallel Port if the printer is connected to the SafeCom Controller’s PAR1 port.
Printer IP Address must be correct if the SafeCom Controller is to control
copying on any attached MFP. For fixed IP addresses, use the printer's IP
address. For DCHP IP addresses, use the printer’s hostname.
Use auto-configuration should normally be YES to allow the SafeCom
Controller to automatically determine the Printer Manufacturer and Print
Model. Both of these are used to ensure correct operation of the SafeCom MFP
Cable. SafeCom Go should be YES if Printer Manufacturer is Xerox and the
MFP is EIP-enabled.
Copy Enabled should be YES if a SafeCom MFP Cable is connected to control
copying. The process of enabling Copy Control is MFP dependent and covered in
more detail in 2.6.
Copy Idle Timeout. When the SafeCom controller automatically logs-out the
user after the MFP is idle for a length of time. If Idle timeout is set to 0 there
is no timeout.
2 SafeCom Controller
D60700-07
33
High Speed Print Enabled should be YES if print data is to be sent directly (and
unencrypted) to the printer from the SafeCom server rather than through the
SafeCom Controller. The pace of high speed print is then comparable to that of
printing the document directly to the printer.
SafeCom G2 version S82 070.380*07 or higher can hold off Push printed
documents while a user is logged in at the device. The directly printed
document needs to be submitted via a SafeCom Push Port that is is referencing
the same tracking device.
Documents that are submitted via a standard TCP/IP port cannot be held off.
There is the risk that the user standing at the device printing and copying may
experience that other users' direct prints are printed between their own jobs.
Post tracking affects the following tracking data types for Pull print jobs:
Tracking pages (TrackingPageCount) is adjusted to reflect the actual
number of pull printed pages. If a 100 page document is cancelled after
10 pages the job is only tracked (and priced) as 10 pages.
Color pages (TrackingColorPageCount) is adjusted to reflect the actual
number of pull printed pages with color.
Price 1 (JobPrice) and Price 2 (JobPrice2) are adjusted as well to reflect
the adjustment of Tracking pages and Color pages.
Post tracking is supported on SafeCom Controller with Canon devices (CPCA
Protocol v.1. and v.2.), Ricoh devices and Xerox devices.
Driver Names. During Pull Printing, SafeCom compares the driver name
embedded in the print job with its list of driver names. If there is no match,
the document appears with a question mark [?] in the document list. This way
the user is warned that fidelity is low and the document may print incorrectly.

2.7.5 TCP/IP web page
The TCP/IP web page can be opened from the Advanced Configuration web
page (2.7.2) by clicking on TCP/IP.
Select Automatic as IP Lookup Method. The SafeCom Controller can obtain its
IP address and related information automatically from a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP
server in the network. Or you can choose to use the manually specified IP
address.
Check Enable WINS if Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is enabled and
the SafeCom Controller should register its IP address, NetBIOS name, and
WorkGroup name with a WINS server.
DNS Servers. The SafeCom Controller uses the listed Domain Name System
(DNS) servers to resolve hostnames and IP addresses. A maximum of 14 DNS
servers can be specified.

2 SafeCom Controller
D60700-07
37
2.8.8 Assign IP address using arp and ping
The arp command must be set on the same network segment as the SafeCom
Controller. If your computer has an IP address of 194.192.134.90 and you are
using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then, the SafeCom Controller must have
an IP address of 194.192.134.x, where x is a number between 1 and 254.
Since the IP address is a unique address for a host in a TCP/IP network, you
must ensure that the IP address you intend to use is valid and is not used by
anyone else on the network.
Hold down the SafeCom Controller’s test button to restore factory defaults and
ensure any existing IP address is deleted. Log on as an administrator and issue
the arp command from the command prompt.
Syntax:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>
The MAC address can be found on the rear side of the SafeCom Controller. If
you want to use the IP address: 194.192.134.86 for the SafeCom Controller and
the 12-digit hexadecimal MAC address is 00C076FF00F2. Enter:
arp -s 194.192.134.86 00-C0-76-FF-00-F2
Now you have added an entry in the arp table for the SafeCom Controller. Use
the ping command to give the SafeCom Controller its new IP address. Issue the
ping command from the command prompt, the format is:
Syntax:
ping <IP Address>
For example if you want to use the IP address: 194.192.134.86 for the SafeCom
Controller, enter:
ping 194.192.134.86
There is NO reply to the ping, as the device is in a special network mode where
it cannot respond to ping. The ping is only to ensure that a local arp entry is
made on the client computer.
2.8.9 Assign IP address using the SafeCom Color Front-end
If the SafeCom Controller is not given an IP address automatically, the SafeCom
Color Front-end prompts you for an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
Use the dot (.) to step between the numbers in the addresses (x.x.x.x). Press
Select to accept an address.

servers is provided via DHCP.
2. Click TCP/IP.
3. In DNS Servers you can enter the IP address of your DNS servers to
resolve hostnames and IP addresses.
4. Click Save and Continue.
5. Click Printer.
6. In Printer IP Address enter the printer’s DNS name or IP address.
7. Click Save and Continue.
8. Click Restart.
2.8.12 Specify the LAN speed
The obsolete SafeCom Controller 3 Port and 1 Port can operate at 10 or 100
Mbps. The SafeCom Controller will by default sense and decide the speed (100
Mbps, unless the number of ports using 10 Mbps are in majority). The LAN
Speed can be set explicitly via the SafeCom Controller web interface.
1. Open the Advanced Configuration web page (2.7.2).
2. Click Hub (3 Port) or LAN (1 Port).

8. You may wish to delete the static entry again. Enter:
arp -d 194.192.134.86
Note: If you experience problems completing the software upload, we
recommend isolating the SafeCom Controller and the computer being used for
the upload. This should eliminate eventual network broadcast and network
noise that could otherwise disturb the data being sent to the SafeCom
Controller. One way of accomplishing this could be done by connecting the
computer and controller to the same network switch, and removing network
connections to that switch.
2.10 Monitor link to SafeCom Color Front-end
The status of the serial link between the SafeCom Controller and the SafeCom
Color Front-end is reflected in the SNMP value hrDeviceStatus
(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5) and can assume the value 2 (Running) or 5 (Down). A
3rd party SNMP tool can be used to monitor the status.
The SafeCom server the SafeCom Controller is connected to can write two
related events in its Event log:
Frontend has stopped communicating, check device <IP address>,

4 Troubleshooting
4.1 SafeCom Help Desk Assistant
We want your SafeCom solution to be one that reduces not only print costs, but
is also easy to support. In the following you will find useful troubleshoot hints.
The most common problems reported by end-users have been compiled into an
online SafeCom Help Desk Assistant available at safecom.eu/help
4.2 At the printer: Out of order
This message is displayed when communication is lost to the SafeCom server.
Check the following:
Does the web page of the SafeCom device reference a SafeCom server
and is the IP address and Group name correct?
Is the SafeCom Service running on the SafeCom server?
Is the network down?
Is there a firewall blocking the communication?
Is the SafeCom Controller connected to the network via the LAN port? If
the network is up and running the port’s green light should be on and it’s
yellow light should be flashing.
Is the printer connected to the network?
The message is cleared and the device returns to normal operation by itself a
couple of minutes after communication has been restored.
4.3 At the printer: User unknown
The used card (or entered user code) is unknown.
4.4 At the printer: Login denied
Wrong PIN code.
The device is not registered.
Too many consecutive failed login attempts has caused Prevent login to
be checked on the Identification tab in the User properties dialog.
If none of the above accounts for the message it could be because the Windows
system on the SafeCom server does not allow any more connections. If you also
get a “Connection error. Login failed” when you try to log in to SafeCom
Administrator, then you should restart the computer.

4.5 At the printer: Restricted access
The user is not allowed to use the device.
A Pay user is trying to log in and Pay is not checked on the License tab in
the Device properties dialog.
4.6 At the printer: Error printing document
Pull Print is cleared on the License tab in the Device properties dialog.
Pull Print is cleared on the Settings tab in the Device properties dialog.
4.7 At the printer: Question mark before the
document name
The list of supported printer drivers does not include an entry matching the
driver you used. Use the web browser to add the driver name to the list.
4.8 At the printer: Printer busy, retry later
The 'Print busy, retry later' message in the printer’s control panel indicates that
SafeCom cannot get exclusive ownership of the printer. With exclusive
ownership it is ensured that it is your documents only that prints while you are
logged in. If you get this message for no apparent reason it could also be
because SNMP is disabled on the printer. Please enable SNMP on the printer.
4.9 At the printer: Login error <number>
Is the SafeCom Service running on the SafeCom server?
Is the SafeCom device registered at the SafeCom server?
4.10 At the printer: Error printing: General Failure
The document you are trying to print is no longer on the SafeCom server. This
may happen if you log in at two or more devices and try to do a print all
simultaneously.
4.11 At the printer: Card reading not working
Is the card reader powered and firmly connected?
Is the card compatible with the reader?
Try to move the card reader away from the printer to check that if it is
electrical interference that prevents the reader from working.
4 Troubleshooting
D60700-07
51
4.12 Document is not printed
Is the print queue paused?
Is the printer powered on and connected?
Is the printer online?
Is intervention required? Check for: 1) wrong paper size, 2) manual
feed, 3) out of paper, 4) paper jam or 5) toner low.
4.13 At the printer: Printer is not available
The SafeCom Color Front-end displays: “Printer is not available. Please try
later”. Check the following:
Is the printer powered on and ready?
Are the cables connected (2.2)?
Does the printer’s IP address match the one defined in the SafeCom
Controller?
It could also be because either the printer or the network is running at 10
Mbps. The SafeCom Controller can operate at 10 or 100 Mbps. The SafeCom
Controller will by default sense and decide the speed (100 Mbps, unless the
number of ports using 10 Mbps are in majority). The LAN speed can be set
explicitly via a web browser.
4.14 Copy jobs are not tracked
Please check the following:
On the SafeCom Controller’s Printer web page (2.7.4) Copy Enabled is
YES.
