Configuring the user session timeout

Kyocera

The session expiry time in this manufacturer is divided into two settings.

  1. When the user is in our application, the automatic logout by timeout respects the one defined in the Portal 360 settings. Each time the user interacts with the device, the time is reset. You can configure this by going to: Portal 360 > Settings > NDD Print Agent > General > Printer session.

  2. When the user uses any of the device's native functions, such as copying or scanning, the timeout configured on the device will be respected. In this case, when the user uses the application again after using the native functions, the timeout time configured on the device will continue to be respected. This setting can be made by accessing the physical button System menu > Data/Chronometer > Interactive mode.

Lexmark

The session expiration settings in this manufacturer are set according to the equipment's own settings.

  1. For 2x, 3x or 4x technology models, access the device's web page and follow the path Settings > Security > Various Security Settings > Login Restrictions > Login Timeout, enter the session expiration time following the interval allowed by the manufacturer.

  2. For 5x or 6x technology models, go to the web page and set the time in Settings > Device > Preferences > Screen timeout, fill in the field (in seconds). Range: 10 to 300 seconds.

This information may vary depending on the model.

Samsung

This manufacturer's automatic expiration respects the time configured in Portal 360. The minimum time supported by the manufacturer is 10 seconds. You can configure this by going to: Portal 360 > Settings > NDD Print Agent > General > Printer session.

Ricoh

While the user is inside the NDD Print application, the expiry time is the time set in Portal 360. It is important to note that each time the user interacts with the device, the time is reset. You can configure this by going to: Portal 360 > Settings > NDD Print Agent > General > Printer session.

Once the user has accessed the device's native functions, the time to be respected is the device's own time. To configure this, go to: User Tools > System Settings > Timer Settings > Auto Session End Time.

Manufacturers that emulate their devices via Web Service (Epson, Sharp, HP, Konica, Brother, Xerox, Toshiba and Oki) respect the time configured directly on the device. According to the settings below:
