    The service account for the service must have full control permission in this directory.

    When Use SSL is selected, the SSL port for some models must be set to 443 to display the selected AutoStore icon and the description for the EIP service on the device panel. If the SSL port is set to different number, the default Xerox logo will display along with ????? instead of the expected service description.
