Most of the settings in PaperCut MF are easily accessible via the main admin interface (e.g. the Options tab). Some advanced settings are however only accessible via the Config Editor. The Config Editor stores keys or information used by PaperCut MF to configure various options and functions. This is very similar to the Windows System Registry database.
Administrator can edit config keys using the following procedure:
Login to the system as an administrator (e.g. the built-in admin account).
Navigate to the Options section.
Click on the "Config editor (advanced)" link in the Actions list on the left.
In the quick find, enter the config key name and press GO.
Locate the required key and enter a new value.
Press the Update button to the right to apply the change.
Example of some keys that are often changed by administrators include:
client.config.show-link - Indicates whether the link at the top of the user client should be displayed or not.
client.config.show-details-link - Indicates whether the "Details" link that points to the user web interface is displayed or not.
display.login-instruction - Used to display login instructions on the user/password screen.
Take care when using the Config Editor. If you use the Config Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems which can only be fixed by reinstallation of the application.
