Show Money 

Select “Yes” if costs are to be displayed when making copies and releasing print 
jobs. Selecting “No” means that the Prices and Cost Center fields will not appear 
on  the  copying  screen,  and  the  print  job  cost  will  not  be  displayed  on  the 
printing screen. 
 

Time Zone 

This property sets the time zone that is going to be used by the PS200 terminal.  
By default, this is set to “

Use Server

” which means that the PS200 uses the time 

zone of the Pharos EDI Server. However, you can configure this property to use 
GMT offset. Click on the dropdown box to show a list of all the available time 
zones.  
 
This is particularly useful if you have an EDI terminal on one location and an EDI 
Server on another location (assuming that these locations are on different time 
zones). 

 

The following Session properties only appear when 

Show Advanced Properties

 is toggled on from the 

Release Stations Actions Pane.

 

 Property 

Description 

Screensaver Time 
(minutes) 

 Enter  the  amount  of  time  (in  minutes)  after  which  the  Omega  Terminal's 
screensaver  will be  activated if no user  activity is detected on the main menu 
screen at the Touchscreen. For example, if you have set the Screensaver Time to 
2 minutes, after 2 minutes of inactivity, the Screensaver starts. 
 
If a change control is pending, the screensaver's activation will be delayed by an 
extra ten seconds. 

Screen Turn Off 
Time (minutes) 

Enter the amount of time (in minutes) after which the PS200’s display will shut 
down to save power and extend the life of the screen. This period starts at the 
same time as the Screensaver Time. 

 

Outside of the available  hours (as defined by Access Times), Omega Terminals 
shut  down  as  soon  as  the  Screensaver  Time  has  elapsed.  Omega  Terminal 
automatically  comes  out  of  screen  suspend mode  at  the  start  of the  available 
hours. 
 
The  screen  suspend  feature  is  only  supported  on  newer  Omega  Terminal 
hardware versions.
