Configuring the Application on Sharp OSA3.5 and OSA4 MFPs

To configure the Equitrac embedded application on OSA3.5/4 MFPs, do the following:

Depending on your device model, you may need to enable authentication.

  1. Open a Web browser and enter http://<MFP IP address> in the Address field.
  2. Log in with your Admin credentials when prompted.
  3. Navigate to Application Settings > External Application Settings > External Accounting Application Settings.
  4. Select Enable from the External Account Control drop-down list.
  5. Select the Set Authentication Server (Server 1) check box.
    The External Account Control and Set Authentication Server options must be enabled on all supported Sharp MFPs for the configuration to take effect. This locks the MFP and prevents access to document features without going through the Equitrac Embedded application.
  6. Specify the Application Name of the external accounting application.
  7. Specify the IP Address for the Application UI: 
    https://<DCE IP address>:4942/public/dce/sharposa4/ui/login.xslt
  8. Specify the IP Address for the Web Service: 
    https://<DCE IP address>:4942/public/dce/sharposa4/authentication
  9. Enter a Timeout value (in seconds) to determine the length of inactivity the user has before being logged out.
  10. Click Submit(U) to save the application settings.
  11. Click Reboot Now(C) to validate the settings.
After you have created the External Accounting Application, then you can configure the OSA3.5/4 Follow-You Printing application.
