The menu File, Settings, General allows to change some general settings of the IBS Control Center:
- General settings
- Network Settings
- Single-click installer settings
General settings
These settings do control the general behavior of IBS Control Center:
Display Language | The IBS CC software selects the language for all texts, depending upon the default MS Windows system settings. If it is the wrong one for you, please correct it here and select your language if it is available. If your local language is missing please open the file 0009.txt into any ASCII Editor, do the translation and send us the texts after the first = sign for embedding it into the software. |
Preferred Brand | By default, the preferred brand is Ricoh. The Scan table will list according to the brand name found from the definition file models.ini. Unfortunately some brands may have the same device model names. This option will set your preferred brand. |
Add a simulated device | In case you do not have a printer/MFP from your client available, you may use some of the IBS CC functions to generate "print" files, which can be sent by e-mail to the client and then to the printer using the Command Line Tools lpr (Windows feature) or tcpsend. The selected device model is displayed in the printer tables with a red line. If set, it is always the last device in the list. The IP address is set to zero also. Notes: That "device" is not listed in the Install IBS and LicenseDevice menus. In other menus, selecting the simulated device may disable some of the functions. |
Update Options
Show news at startup | If internet connection is available, on startup IBS Control Center checks our WEB site for any new information or updates that may be available. This information will be displayed. You have the option to turn this function off and open the Extras menu for viewing them as well. |
Scan options
Rescan found devices | If set, IBS CC does check on each startup if all found devices of the last scan are powered on. If they are, they are not available, they are removed from the list. All the others are displayed without a new scan. Benefit: No new scan needed Disadvantage: New devices are not listed, so a re-scan is then needed anyway. |
Extensive scan | The default IP port where IBS operates in the device is 10001. The former Ricoh supported BOCR-Tool was able to change this port. If that feature has been used and IBS does no longer listens on the default port the Extensive scan option has to be enabled. |
Miscellaneous options
Log File retention time (days) | This option defines how long the IBS Control Center´s log files are kept (in days). Valid values: 3 to 60 (default value is 7). The log files are located at: "C:\ProgramData\IBS_CC\temp". Note: IBS Control Center will not delete the log files actively, but it will test on start-up if there are old log files and will delete them. |

Note: This option is only displayed if the Enhanced Features are enabled, see here. |
Licensing options
