Other NDD Print MF HP settings

NDD Print MF HP has other settings that make it easier to use and administer.

To access the settings

1. Open the NDD Print MF HP interface

2. In the menu, click on Tools > Settings

Accounting tab

Differentiated user login identification: If you use an ERP system, configure the delimiters to identify the user who sent the printout through the document title. Here's an example:

Display tab

Language: Select the language that will be displayed in the NDD Print MF HP administration interface and in the interface of the solution embedded in the device (NDD Print Client HP).

If you select French, Italian or Catalan only the interface of the embedded solution will be displayed in these languages, the administration interface of NDD Print MF HP will be displayed in English.

Application name: Name that will be displayed on the printer panel.

It is not recommended to use special characters.

Application icon: Image that will be shown as an icon on the device panel.

The image must be 96 x 96 pixels in .png format.

Authentication tab

Server address: This setting is filled in with the IP address where the NDD Print MF HP is installed. This address is registered in the settings of the added devices, and if you use more than one network card (primary internal network card and secondary VPN card), this IP must be the one through which the device will communicate with the server.

If you change the server address, the printers will be reconfigured and may be unavailable during this period.

Conversion to hexadecimal: In some RFID card models used in some USB readers, it is necessary to enable this option.

Document release behavior: This option is used so that the user's pending documents are released immediately after authentication.
