Setting the Serverless Pull Printing Environment
Enabling the advanced options
Enable the advanced options for serverless pull printing on the MFPs that make up a serverless pull printing group.
For details on the setting procedure, refer to Here.
Permitting an access from an application via OpenAPI
Permit an access from an application via OpenAPI on the MFPs that make up a serverless pull printing group.
Select [Utility] - [Administrator] - [Network] - [OpenAPI Setting] - [OpenAPI Setting], and configure the following settings.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
[Access Setting] | When enabling an access from an application via OpenAPI, set this option to ON (default: ON). |
If you change the SSL Enable/Disable status in [SSL/Port Settings] of [OpenAPI Setting] after serverless pull printing settings have been completed, reconfigure settings using LK-114_SetupTool.
MFP authentication settings
Specify the user authentication method on the MFPs that make up a serverless pull printing group.
Select [Utility] - [Administrator] - [User Auth/Account Track] - [General Settings] - [User Authentication], then specify one of the following authentication methods.
MFP authentication
External server authentication
MFP + External server authentication (Destination: MFP)
MFP + External server authentication (Destination: External server)
Enhanced server authentication
MFP + Enhanced server authentication (Destination: MFP)
MFP + Enhanced server authentication (Destination: Enhanced server)
Set the same authentication method to all MFPs that make up a serverless pull printing group.
To perform the external server authentication using the IC card, you need to permit the quick authentication. For details on how to permit the quick authentication, refer to Here.
Permitting quick authentication
When composing a serverless pull printing group involving different models, permit the quick authentication.
For details on the setting procedure, refer to Here.
To use Data Administrator for settings, double-click Device on the device list, click [Authentication Settings] - [Simple Print Authentication], then select the [Enable Simple Print Authentication] check box.
Configuring the client function
Set the client function on the MFP to be assigned to the client machine. Enabling the client function allows you to execute print jobs stored on the storage device through the MFP with the client function enabled.
For details on the setting procedure, refer to Here.
The client function can also be set by selecting [System Settings] - [Universal Print Settings] - [Client Function Setting] in administrator mode of Web Connection.
When the client machine uses IPP as the protocol while IPP authentication is enabled, you need to set the user name and password for authentication to all the client and storage machines that compose the target serverless pull printing group. For details on the setting procedure, refer to Here.
You can select [System Settings] - [Universal Print Settings] - [Domain group list] and check the status of each MFP included in the serverless pull printing group the self-machine joins.
Joining a serverless pull printing group
Specify the serverless pull printing group to join.
For details on the setting procedure, refer to Here.
It takes approximately 20 seconds to complete information sharing between serverless pull printing groups via the topology machine after [Group settings] has been executed.
You can select [System Settings] - [Universal Print Settings] - [Domain group list] and check the status of each MFP included in the serverless pull printing group the self-machine joins.
