For customers who are using FUJIFILM Business Innovation standard drivers on Citrix MetaFrame® or Windows® Terminal Service environment

Last Update: May. 8, 2008

[ Preface ]

If FUJIFILM Business Innovation standard printer is used on auto generated printer in MetaFrame® or Windows® Terminal Service environment, the client may sometimes fail to log in to the server.
For customers who are using our company's standard driver and matched the description in the following sections of "Machine Model" and "Occurrence Condition and Environment", please act promptly according to the instruction described in "Solutions".

[ Phenomenon ]

When using FUJIFILM Business Innovation standard driver on auto-generated printer in Citrix MetaFrame® and Windows® Terminal Service environments, the number of clients that can concurrently log in will decrease as login operation is repeated many times, and eventually client login to server will fail.

[ Cause of Occurrence ]

When you install FUJIFILM Business Innovation printer driver on a server, settings information of the printer driver is written in the server's registry.
Also, when a client logs into the server in MetaFrame®/Terminal Server environment, FUJIFILM Business Innovation printer driver on the client PC will be created (installed) on the server automatically.
The problem is caused by exhaustion of resource on the server after repetition of login/logout operation, which accumulates settings information of the printer driver.
