1.Introduction
This chapter gives you an overview of the SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in’s major
features and benefits.
This chapter includes:
• Overview
• Benefits of using the SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in
• What’s improved?
• Features of SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in
• Tips for using SyncThru Admin 5
The SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in can be used only with Samsung devices.
Overview
The SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in offers basic accounting functionality to reduce waste and costs for
imaging and printing devices. It also provides security functionality and convenience. You can enable Job Accounting
features via SyncThru Admin 5, add users, and set a job limit for each user in the office. Before a user is able to use a
device or perform a job, he/she must enter a valid Job Accounting ID and password. Each user must have a valid ID and
password and must be assigned to a specific device(s). After a job is performed, the user’s allocation is reduced by the
number of pages used and retained for reporting.
For printing jobs, users need to configure user account IDs and passwords with the printer driver settings that support the
SyncThru Admin 5 feature. In other cases, such as scanning, copying or faxing, users need to enter valid IDs and
passwords on the device when starting the jobs.
Therefore, with SyncThru Admin 5, you can track all jobs within your imaging and printing environments and prevent
overusing.
If you have installed the SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x Job Accounting Plug-in, you can import database
information to the SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in (See "Compatibility" on page 9).
Benefits of using the SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in
With the SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in, you can track, analyze, and allocate the costs of every document
that any employee sends to any networked device.
With the SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in you can:
• reduce the printing cost of non-business use.
• eliminate unauthorized jobs (printing, copying, scanning and faxing).
• enforce quotas on color output to reduce color printing.
• allocate output costs to users, departments, or clients.
• protect the documents’ security and confidentiality.
• analyze exactly what jobs have been performed by the devices.
What’s improved?
SyncThru Admin 5 has improved Job Accounting features from SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x.
New features
• Powerful monitoring : You can see the statuses of assigned permissions and job records of devices (See "Device
History" on page 23).
• Proactive managements : You can send email notifications to users informing them of their remaining usage (See
"Analysis & Report" on page 35, "Settings menu" on page 41).
• History management : You can track the status of what you have started, like enabling Job Accounting or assigning
permissions (See "Device History" on page 23).
• LDAP users : You can use your domain users with your own server instead of adding them as local users (See
"Adding LDAP Users" on page 15).
• Group permissions : You can use group permissions based on the user group. Users can use the specified device
based on group permission (See "Group Permissions" on page 28).
• Maximum of 1000 users supported : You can add 1000 users to the Job Accounting enabled devices.
• Non-HDD devices supported : You can use the Job Accounting with non-HDD devices.
Introduction_ 8

• Job records stored even after Job Accounting disabled : You can see job records even after Job Accounting
disabled for the devices. (See "Viewing job records for a device" on page 22) You can also see job records with
Analysis & Reports.
Compatibility
SyncThru Admin 5 provides backward compatibility for SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x Job Accounting Plug-in. If
you are using SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x with the Job Accounting Plug-in, the SyncThru Web Admin Service
4.x Job Accounting database can be migrated manually when you install SyncThru Admin 5 and the Job Accounting
Plug-in.
How to import SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x Job Accounting data:
1. From the Windows Start menu, select Run and type in cmd.
A window appears.
2. Type in cd \swasdbconvertor\jobaccounting and press Enter on the
keyboard.
Usually, SyncThru Admin 5 is installed in "C:\Program Files\Samsung Network Printer Utilities\SyncThru
Admin 5".
3. Then enter jac_getSWASData.bat
and press Enter.
Usually, SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x Database location is "C:\Program Files\Samsung Network Printer
Utilities\SyncThru Web Admin Service Job Accounting\JACDB.db"
4. It will take a few moments for the data to be imported to SyncThru Admin 5.
Job Accounting devices, data will be imported only if those devices are already in the SyncThru Admin 5 Device
List.
If you do migration from SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x Job Accounting Plug-in, your devices may still support
SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x Job Accounting Plug-in, not SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting. If so, your
devices will not support followings, SyncThru Admin 5's new features:
• LDAP users
• Group permission
• Usage count information
• Maximum of 1000 users (SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x Job Accounting Plug-in compatible devices
supports only 255 users)

last step is to configure group (user) permission settings. You can arrange group (user) accounts
and devices, like allowing only software groups (engineers) to use device A.
Another example is if user A and user B are in user group G1, you can assign group G1 to a job
accounting enabled device. In this case, user A and user B can use that device with G1 group
permissions. If user A is assigned to the device as an individual user, user A can also use the
device with the individual account permissions.
In addition, you can assign access rights to each group (user) with different job types.
If you want to give permissions based on individual users instead of user groups, refer to User Permissions (See
"User Permissions" on page 24).
With the Group Permissions menu, you can:
• view the complete history of assigning user group permissions to the devices (See "Group Permissions History" on
page 31).
• view Job Accounting enabled devices (See "Understanding Job Accounting Enabled Devices List" on page 29).
• assign user groups with specific permissions to the Job Accounting enabled devices (See "Assigning user group
permissions to devices" on page 30).
• view user group permissions of the device and modify the permissions (See "Understanding Job Accounting Enabled
Devices List" on page 29).

Group Permissions Settings
From SyncThru Admin 5, click Job Accounting menu > Group Permissions > Group Permissions Settings.
Make sure that the user groups are arranged. Group Permissions work with user groups.
Understanding Job Accounting Enabled Devices List
Group Permissions_ 29

• Display devices from subgroups : By default, this option is enabled, which means you can see all the devices,
including the subgroups’ members. If you do not want to see the devices from subgroups, you can uncheck the option.
If you uncheck the option, the Job Accounting Enabled Device List displays a different total number of
devices from the number in the group list because the current Job Accounting Enabled Device List displays
only the members of the selected group.
The Job Accounting Enabled Device List has Job Accounting compatible columns as follows:
• JAC State : shows current Job Accounting status of the device
- Enabled : Job Accounting enabled by SyncThru Admin 5 system
- Disabled : Job Accounting disabled
- Occupied : Job Accounting enabled by another SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x or SyncThru Admin 5
system
• JAC Supported : shows whether the device supports Job Accounting or not
- Supported : device supports Job Accounting
- Not Supported : device does not support Job Accounting
• JAC URL : shows which server is controlling the Job Accounting if the device’s JAC State is Occupied. In other
words, JAC URL shows the URL of the server enabling Job Accounting. If the JAC State is Enabled, SyncThru
Admin 5 itself is controlling Job Accounting, so the JAC URL does not show.
• Modify Groups : shows the assigned user group and user group permissions of the device. If you click the Groups
button, the Group Permissions for Selected Device window pops up. You can see the assigned user group
permissions and modify them. You can also check the usage count for each user group or the usage count by job
types..
With this Groups button, you can:
- see all assigned users and permissions.
- change the permissions.
- delete groups by clicking the button.

9.Analysis & Report
This chapter includes:
• Overview
• Analysis
• Report
Overview
SyncThru Admin 5 provides reporting capabilities for printing and imaging devices. If you install the Job Accounting
Plug-in, you can see the Job Accounting category in the Analysis & Reports menu.
Basically, SyncThru Admin 5 analyzes the devices information by time, historical report, current report, and proactive
report. A historical report is to provide analysis for accumulated data and a proactive report is to provide forecasting based
on the collected data. You can better understand your printing environment using these various reports.
• Proactive report is not supported for Job Accounting.
• Please see Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > Database > Report Data Management.
This report part depends on Report Data Management settings. For example, if you configure Report
retention times to Year, SyncThru Admin 5 will clean the report data every year. If you want to remove the
report data with specific date, you can use Clean report data before specified date option.
Analysis & Report categories
The following table describes what kinds of analyses and reports SyncThru Admin 5 Job Accounting provides.

With Reports, more content, such as user information, is included.
You can see "Units" in Report Settings or Analysis Settings. This option is for configuring unit for usage data.
Available options are "Impressions" or "Sheets". Usage data collection works like this: Devices send impression
count to SyncThru Admin 5 and impression based report includes exact count. If you select "Sheets" based
report, SyncThru Admin 5 calculates sheet count using impression count collected from devices. Therefore
Sheet count is approximate.

3. Distribution Obligations
3.1 Availability of Source Code. Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available in Executable
form must also be made available in Source Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the
terms of this License. You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code form of the Covered
Software You distribute or otherwise make available. You must inform recipients of any such Covered Software in
Executable form as to how they can obtain such Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner on or
through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
3.2 Modifications. The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this
License. You represent that You believe Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or You have sufficient
rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
3.3 Required Notices. You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that identifies You as the Contributor of
the Modification. You may not remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices contained within the Covered
Software, or any notices of licensing or any descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or the Initial Developer.
3.4 Application of Additional Terms. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in Source
Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License or the recipients’ rights hereunder. You may
choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
Covered Software. However, you may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any
Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is
offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability
incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You
offer.
3.5 Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software under the
terms of this License or under the terms of a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this
License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable
form does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient’s rights in the Source Code form from the rights set forth in this
License. If You distribute the Covered Software in Executable form under a different license, You must make it
absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or
Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
3.6 Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with other code not governed by
the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the
requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Software.
4. Versions of the License
4.1 New Versions. Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may publish revised and/or new versions
of this License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number. Except as provided in
Section 4.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify this License.
4.2 Effect of New Versions. You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software
available under the terms of the version of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software. If
the Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original Software prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made
available under any subsequent version of the License, You must distribute and make the Covered Software available
under the terms of the version of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software. Otherwise,
You may also choose to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available under the terms of any
subsequent version of the License published by the license steward.
4.3 Modified Versions. When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new license for Your Original
Software, You may create and use a modified version of this License if You: (a) rename the license and remove any
references to the name of the license steward (except to note that the license differs from this License); and (b)
otherwise make it clear that the license contains terms which differ from this License.

5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE
COVERED SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED
SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU
(NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT
UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
6. TERMINATION
6.1 This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein
and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. Provisions which, by their nature, must
remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
6.2 If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You assert such claim is referred to as “Participant”)
alleging that the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where the Participant is a Contributor or the
Original Software where the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and
all rights granted directly or indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial Developer (if the Initial Developer is not the
Participant) and all Contributors under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from
Participant terminate prospectively and automatically at the expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if within
such 60 day period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the Participant Software against such Participant either
unilaterally or pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.
6.3 In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above, all end user licenses that have been validly granted by
You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses granted to You by any distributor) shall survive
termination.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER
CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED SOFTWARE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH
PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS
OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR
DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS
The Covered Software is a “commercial item,” as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of
“commercial computer software” (as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 252.227-7014(a)(1)) and “commercial
computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48
C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire
Covered Software with only those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause is in lieu of, and
supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or provision that addresses Government rights in computer
software under this License.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is
held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. This
License shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice contained within the Original Software
(except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding such jurisdiction’s conflict-of-law provisions.
Any litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the jurisdiction and
venue specified in a notice contained within the Original Software, with the losing party responsible for costs, including,
without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which
provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License. You
agree that You alone are responsible for compliance with the United States export administration regulations (and the
export control laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use, distribute or otherwise make available any
Covered Software.
10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly
or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and
Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to
constitute any admission of liability.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically
libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you
first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any
particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed
to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that
you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free
programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or
if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library,
you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes
to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives
you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so
that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a
company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder.
Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of
use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the
GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General
Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally
speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such
linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria
for linking other code with the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the
ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing
non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries.
However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so
that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more
frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by
limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a
large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more
people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a
program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of
the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference
between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library,
whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also
called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you". A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form
executables. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these
terms.
Open Source Information_ 54

A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) "Source code" for a work means
the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code
for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
installation of the library. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope.
The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its
contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that
is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium,
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of
this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your
option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
• a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
• b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
change.
• c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
• d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that
uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort
to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and
performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square
roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that
any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it,
the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute
them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the
Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees
extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this
section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another
work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of
the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU
General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU
General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other
change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU
General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful
when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement
to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being
compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the
Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the
Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a
"work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of
such executables. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object
code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is
especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be
true is not precisely defined by law. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and
accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is
unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of
the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object
code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or
not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to
produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the
terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such
modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library
and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays
copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the
user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
Open Source Information_ 55

• a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including
whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is
an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code
and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable
containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
• b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at
run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into
the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the
modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
• c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified
in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
• d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to
copy the above specified materials from the same place.
• e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.For
an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed
for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not
include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler,
kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that
do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the
Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other
library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution
of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these
two things:
• a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other
library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
• b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and
explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License
will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission
to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or
works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license
from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may
not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a
whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents
or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of
that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and
a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from
time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of
this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license
version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible
with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two
goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
generally.

NO WARRANTY
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR
THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free
software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or,
alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to
most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to
where the full notice is found.
one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.
Copyright (C) year name of author
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later
version.
This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied
warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNULesser General Public
License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free
Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for
the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU
General Public License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions
As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the “GNU GPL” refers to
version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined
below.
An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on
the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface provided by the
Library.
A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library. The particular version of
the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also called the “Linked Version”.
The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source for the Combined Work,
excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the Application,
and not on the Linked Version.
The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the object code and/or source code for the
Application, including any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the Application, but
excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an
Application that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked), then you may convey a
copy of the modified version:
• a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an Application does not
supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
• b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that copy.
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. You may
convey such object code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited to numerical
parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in
length), you do both of the following:
• a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use
are covered by this License.
• b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
4. Combined Works
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict modification
of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications, if
you also do each of the following:
• a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its
use are covered by this License.
• b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
• c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include the copyright notice for the Library
among these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license
document.
• d) Do one of the following:
- 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and the Corresponding Application
Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to recombine or relink the Application with a
modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the manner specified by section
6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.
- 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses
at run time a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer system, and (b) will operate properly with
a modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked Version.
• e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required to provide such information under
section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is necessary to install and execute a modified
version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application with a modified version of the
Linked Version. (If you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding
Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation Information in the
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.)
Open Source Information_ 58

5. Combined Libraries
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side by side in a single library together with other
library facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this License, and convey such a combined library under
terms of your choice, if you do both of the following:
• a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other
library facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.
• b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where
to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License from
time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered
version of the GNU Lesser General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the
terms and conditions either of that published version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
the Library as you received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public License, you may
choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public
License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is permanent authorization for you to
choose that version for the Library.

Media Access Control (MAC) data communication protocol sub-layer, also known as the Medium Access Control, is a
sublayer of the Data Link Layer specified in the seven-layer OSI model (layer 2).
mDNS
Multicast DNS (mDNS) is a protocol that is used by Apple Inc. It uses similar APIs to the unicast DNS system but
implemented differently.
MFP
Multi Function Printer/Peripheral (MFP) is an office machine that includes the following functionality in one physical
body, so as to have a printer, a copier, a fax, a scanner and etc.
MIB
A management information base (MIB) stems from the OSI/ISO Network management model and is a type of database
used to manage the devices in a communications network. It comprises a collection of objects in a (virtual) database
used to manage entities (such as routers and switches) in a network.
OPC drum
Organic Photo Conductor (OPC) is a mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam emitted from
a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray colored and a cylinder shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn
away by its usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it gets scratches from grits of a paper."
Plug-in
In SyncThru Admin 5, plug-in is an additional feature that you can add to SyncThru Admin 5.
POP3
Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is an application-layer Internet standard protocol used by local email clients to
retrieve email from a remote server over a TCP/IP connection.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS). It is released under a BSD-style license
and is thus free software.
RFC
In computer network engineering, a Request for Comments (RFC) is a memorandum published by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) describing methods, behaviors, research, or innovations applicable to the working of
the Internet and Internet-connected systems.
RFC 3805
Printer MIB version 2. This document provides definitions of models and manageable objects for printing
environments. The objects included in this MIB apply to physical, as well as logical entities within a printing device.

RSS
Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such
as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. RSS feeds can be read using software
called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based or desktop-based. A standardized
XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user
subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's URI (often referred to informally as a "URL", although technically, those two
terms are not exactly synonymous) into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the
subscription process.
SLP
Service Location Protocol (SLP, srvloc) is a service discovery protocol that allows computers and other devices to find
services in a local area network without prior configuration. (RFC 2608)
SMB
Server Message Block (SMB) is a network protocol mainly applied to share files, printers, serial ports, and
miscellaneous communications between nodes on a network. It also provides an authenticated Inter-process
communication mechanism.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard for e-mail transmissions across the Internet. SMTP is a relatively
simple, text-based protocol, where one or more recipients of a message are specified, and then the message text is
transferred. It is a client-server protocol, where the client transmits an email message to the server.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a component of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP is used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices
for conditions that warrant administrative attention. It consists of a set of standards for network management, including
an Application Layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.
SSDP
SSDP is the basis of the discovery protocol of universal plug-and-play.
SSL
Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols
that provide security and data integrity for communications over TCP/IP networks such as the Internet.
SSO
Single sign-on (SSO) is a method of access control that enables a user to log in once and gain access to the resources
of multiple software systems without being prompted to log in again.
SWS
SyncThru Web Service(SWS) is a embedded web server for Samsung devices.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite. TCP is so central that
the entire suite is often referred to as "TCP/IP."
TCP/IP
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP); the set of communications protocols that
implement the protocol stack on which the Internet and most commercial networks run.
Trap
Trap is used to report an alert or other asynchronous event about a managed subsystem. In SNMPv1, asynchronous
event reports are called traps while they are called notifications in later versions of SNMP.

UDP
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, the set of network protocols
used for the Internet. With UDP, computer applications can send messages, sometimes known as datagrams, to other
hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior communications to set up special transmission
channels or data paths. UDP is sometimes called the Universal Datagram Protocol. UDP uses a simple transmission
model without implicit hand-shaking dialogues for guaranteeing reliability, ordering, or data integrity. Thus, UDP
provides an unreliable service and datagrams may arrive out of order, appear duplicated, or go missing without notice.
UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The goals of UPnP
are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing,
communications, and entertainment) and in corporate environments for simplified installation of computer components.
UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based
communication standards.
WINS server
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is Microsoft's implementation of NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS), a name
server and service for NetBIOS computer names. Effectively WINS is to NetBIOS names, what DNS is to domain
names — a central mapping of host names to network addresses. Like DNS it is broken into two parts, a Server
Service (that manages the encoded Jet Database, server to server replication, service requests, and conflicts) and a
TCP/IP Client component which manages the client's registration, renewal of names and takes care of queries.
