MFPs - Argos Keypad - Advanced Settings

The Argos Keypad has several advanced settings that can be configured, if desired.

Customize the Display Prompts

The default messages displayed on the terminal can be changed. For example, if users enter their phone extension to unlock the copier, you may want to display "Enter Phone Ext" rather than "Enter User" on the screen.

1. Browse to Devices & Terminals, double-click the Keypad device and click the "Terminal" button
2. In the "Text" header, change "User prompt", "Username", "Out of service" and/or "Project prompt" messages
   
3. Click OK

Change the Keypad timeout option

By default, the Keypad will time out after one minute of copier inactivity. This can be changed to no limit, 30 seconds, or 3 minutes.

1. Browse to Devices & Terminals, double-click the Keypad device and click the "Terminal" button
2. Under the "Login" header, change the "Session Timeout" drop down to the desired setting.
   
3. Click OK

Allow Swipe Card authentication

Argos Keypads support swipe card authentication. To use this functionality, the PIN setting for users should be set to the value that is written to the swipe card.

1.  Browse to Devices & Terminals, double-click the Keypad device and click the "Terminal" button
2. Under the "Login" header, check the "Enable Swipe Card" box
   
3. Select your Card type and Card reader. If your model is not listed, select "Standard"
4. Define the Swipe Card text prompt ("Swipe Card==>" is the default option)
5. Click OK

Change Routing mode from Postbilling to Prebilling

By default, users are required to only identify themselves via PIN or swipe card to access the copier. If users are set in Interactive mode, the Desktop Client will appear on their computer after making a copy to prompt for billing. In some environments (where users do not have computers, for example), our Prebilling workflow may be desired. With Prebilling, users identify themselves via PIN or swipe first, then enter a billing code.

1. Browse to Devices & Terminals, double-click the Keypad device and click the "Terminal" button
2. Change the "Routing mode" drop down under Job routing from Postbilling  to Prebilling
   
3. Click OK
