Advanced Config for Devices

This page applies to:

Last updated September 30, 2025

The Advanced Config tab of the Device Details page allows for some adjustments to the operation of the Multifunction Device. Platform-specific details are included in the individual documentation for each solution.

Editing a device-specific config key

To change a setting just for one device:

  1. Log in to the PaperCut MF Admin web interface.
  2. Go to Devices.
  3. Select the device you want to edit.
  4. Click the Advanced Config tab.
  5. Use the Quick find search bar to locate the config key, change its value, and click Update.

More information on Advanced Config keys

Here’s an example of a device config key that applies to all devices, no matter the manufacturer:

  • ext-device.personal-account-charge-priority
    A comma-separated list of personal account names. When multiple personal accounts are enabled, this list decides which account is charged for a job unless it’s already allocated in the Print Provider. Keep in mind:
    • The order of accounts in this list overrides the order set on the Personal Accounts page.
    • If only one account is listed, then only that account can be charged on the device.
