 DRIVER FREE PRINTING |
 |
|
| This technology allows you to variably distribute the Windows print process in the network. A virtual printer driver, the ThinPrint Output Gateway, initially transmits the print data in a printer-independent format. This enables you to use the original printer driver only where it makes sense and is easy to manage. Depending on the application scenario this can be the client computer or a central print server. |
| Operation of client print properties |
|
|
| The virtual printer driver used with DRIVER FREE PRINTING (ThinPrint Output Gateway) allows you to access all the print options and properties of the target printer. Standard properties of the original printer drivers are read automatically. You can select options such as paper format, duplex print and the correct paper tray in the normal way using the operator interface. Any special functions of the printer can be easily operated using a preview on the Client. |
| ADVANCED ADAPTIVE COMPRESSION |
|
|
| With ThinPrint you can reduce your print data volume by up to 98%, thereby significantly speeding up the printing output from your network. Thanks to adaptive compression, the quality of print outs is maintained at all times. The individual components of the print jobs are analyzed prior to transfer and compressed with the best respective algorithm, ensuring high print speed with perfect printed images. Your administrator will also be pleased that the burden on the network has been reduced. |
| Mixed 32 bit and 64 bit printing environments |
|
|
| With ThinPrint you can maintain optimum print output regardless of whether servers, client PCs or virtual desktops are working with 32 or 64 bit operating systems. This can saves on investments for new hardware if no 64 bit printer drivers are available for your printers when migrating to 64 bit. |
| Printing to thin clients, network printers, printboxes |
|
|
| ThinPrint gives you the option of using DRIVER FREE PRINTING even if your receiving terminals are technically unable to prepare a Windows print job. Because of the Printer Virtualization Layer (V-Layer) you can also benefit from a centralized administration of your printer drivers when using thin clients, printboxes or network printers. |
| Support for remote print servers and printing appliances |
|
|
| ThinPrint enables compressed and bandwidth-optimized printing to remote print servers (for example, in branch offices) or print appliances. The administration of printers belonging to the respective branch office is thus outsourced to the respective office. |
| Size-Optimized Native Printing |
|
|
| ThinPrint can transfer your print data over a network with high compression even when using original printer drivers. This saves on bandwidth and significantly accelerates print output. |
| SSL / TLS encryption |
|
|
| ThinPrint sends print jobs over networks with 128 bit encryption, which ensures that even highly sensitive documents are complete safe from unauthorized access when printing using WAN connections. The software allows for an end-to-end encryption right up until the print stage - regardless of which printer models you are using. |
| Support for all protocols (ICA, RDP, TCP/IP) |
|
|
| ThinPrint provides optimized print data transfer using the TCP/IP protocol or alternatively via ICA (in Citrix environments) or RDP (in Microsoft environments). This extensive support for protocols provides you with ultimate flexibility and ensures that you can benefit from ThinPrint functions in almost any environment. |
| Printer Virtualization Layer |
|
|
| In many network environments, central print servers have long been used to relieve the application server and increase system performance. The ThinPrint Printer Virtualization Layer (V-Layer) supports this approach and also allows you to use DRIVER FREE PRINTING technology on central print servers. In this way you can store all original printer drivers centrally on your print server, while the virtual printer driver (ThinPrint Output Gateway) is used everywhere else. The sharing is done using the ThinPrint Output Gateway, which is coupled with the original printer drivers. |
| Connection-oriented bandwidth control of print data |
|
|
| ThinPrint bandwidth control ensures that the bandwidth set for the port is not exceeded even if multiple users are printing at the same time (for example, if all printers at a branch office are only addressed by one ThinPrint port). This method offers distinct advantages as compared to simple user-based methods for restricting bandwidth. |
| Integration of central print servers, including cluster operation |
|
|
| Central print servers relieve your application servers or virtual desktops and simplify the administration of printer drivers. In such very advantageous and commonly implemented architecture all the ThinPrint function are, of course, fully available. As ThinPrint can also be installed on Microsoft Cluster servers, fault-free operation remains assured. |
| Recording and analysis of company-wide printing costs |
|
|
| The Tracking Service integrated into the software allows you to comprehensively document and analyze printing patterns in your company. The information recorded is stored in an SQL database. Using the Report Engine you can easily analyze printing patterns and costs for individual employees, departments or entire branches using a graphical interface. This provides valuable information to assist with the efficient distribution of printing hardware and the ability to identify cost savings potential. |
| Printing in masked networks |
|
1 |
| ThinPrint allows you to access network printers in branch offices even when no dedicated line or VPN connection is available. The ThinPrint Connected Gateway can be used to establish a tunnel between the main office and a branch office, allowing you to print to network printers in the branch office just as you would to printers in the LAN. You therefore do not need to invest in an expensive dedicated line in branch offices. |
| Central, dynamic set-up and administration of printing environment |
|
2 |
| You can use the ThinPrint Management Center to simplify the installation and administration of complex printing environments. You can also make extensive changes in your print environment with the support of the database, and with just a few clicks. A graphical user interface assists you and provides a comprehensive overview of hardware, drivers and branch offices. |
