How to create a screen saver on Konica Minolta embedded devices that shows a series of images

When a printer is idle, the LCD screen shows the login screen until it goes into low power mode and switches off. Using the Print Director screen saver functionality, you can show corporate adverts or announcements on the screen before low power mode is initiated. These images will cycle continuously until the user touches the panel after which the normal authentication screen will appear.

Different screen savers can be assigned to different groups of printers.
