What’s New

Printer Terminal Support

  • Integrated printer emulation: printing terminals support implemented. Send print jobs to your browser-side printer, or download them to a file. TN3287 and TN3812 support.
  • Easier access to printing job files: printing queue, print preview, and more.

Updated and Flexible Authentication Scheme

  • Provide anonymous access to connections, avoiding the login process.
  • Combine authenticated and anonymous access connections for logged in users.

New Integration Possibilities

  • Direct access to the emulation screen through a dedicated virtual path per connection. Facilitate integration by allowing the user to bypass the landing page.
  • HLLAPI.js: new HLLAPI javascript interface to provide programmatic access from external applications to z/Scope.
  • One Time URL (OTURL): create a temporary, unique URL to provide one time access to a specific connection. This URL expires as soon as it’s used or after a specific period of time.
  • Secure access to core company data: multiple authentication options and simplified Single Sign-On (SSO). Enable access for end-users via one or more of these authentication methods: Logon, OAuth 2.0 (Google, Facebook, etc.), Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), or customize the authentication process using a dynamic-link library (DLL).

New and Enhanced User Interface

  • New navigation and user interface. Classic, Coverflow, Gallery and Grid modes available.
  • Open new connections on different tabs or manage them within the z/Scope environment.
  • Create Display, Printer or Display and Printer connections.
  • Autosuggestion: contextual menus that appear when typing into input fields. These menus contain a list of recently typed phrases that match your initial keystrokes.
