List of available settings
The list presented below must be used whenever there is the need to add or edit the NDD Print Agent's advanced settings.
Some services need to be restarted for the settings to take effect.

DisableParser | 0;1 | 0 | Disables the parser so the accounting will be performed based on the number of pages as captured by the Windows. |
EnableCopyInfo | 0;1 | 0 | When enabled, the copies will be accounted as an independent print job. For example: Job XYZ nº Pags: 3 nº Copies: 2 Total Pgs: 6 The system will account as: Job XYZ nº Pags: 3 nº Copies: 1 Total Pgs: 3 Job XYZ nº Pags: 3 nº Copies: 1 Total Pgs: 3 |
EnableLocalForceAutentication | 0;1 | -1 | Forces the activation of the authentication on the station. |

MaxTimeAnalyzeFile | Time in seconds | 900 | Parser's time out. |
OfflineBehavior | print;block | It allows you to set the print agent behavior when comunication with NDD Print Host server is unavailable. Print = In this case, if there is no communication between Host/Agent the printings will be coutend and printed normally; Block = In this case, if there is no communication between Host/Agent the printings will be discarded, not being printed or counted. | |

ReleaserOffline | 0;1 | 0 | Secure Print continence. When enabled (1), if the Releaser server is offline, the user will receive an option to print straight to the printer or cancel the print job. When disabled (0), if the Releaser server is offline, the print job will be canceled and the user will receive a message informing him about the cancellation. |
SaveSpool | 0;1 | 0 | Saves a copy of the SPLs in the folder tpar\error. |
ShowCostReleaserPrint | 0;1 | 0 | When enabled (1), it displays a message with the approximate print cost for NDD Print Releaser retention queues. |

VeryDocScriptParser | 0;1 | 0 | It enables or disables spool files analysis, via VeryDoc, in the PostScript language. When enabling this key, PDF documents added to NDD Print Releaser will also be analyzed with VeryDoc. |
EnablePostScriptInterpreter | 0;1 | 1 | It enables the analysis, via PSInterpreter, of spool files in PostScript language. It is necessary to change the PostScript generation to ASCII mode in the driver settings. To use this configuration, the VeryDocScriptParser key with the value 0 is also required. |
EnablePostScriptMultiThreading | 0;1 | 0 | It enables the use of multiple threads by PSInterpreter in the spool files processing using the PostScript language. |
ForcedOldPCLXLConversion | 0;1 | 0 | It enables the old conversion engine. This engine does not alter images, only the PJL commands, therefore, in some printers it will only convert texts. |
DisableLogicAccounting | 0;1 | 0 | It enables logging only of printings blocked by restriction policies. When enabling the configuration, the Agent will generate the NPL with only the records of blocked printings. All others will be discarded and cannot be recovered. |

Service to restart: NDD Print Agent Listener and NDD Print Agent Watcher | |||
