ThinPrint Server Engine |
 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. |
| Mixed 32 bit and 64 bit print 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. |
| Support for the TCP/IP protocol |
|
|
| This ThinPrint product allows for optimum print data transfer using the TCP/IP protocol. |
| 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. |
| Cluster operation of print servers |
|
|
| 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. |
| Central configuration using MMC |
|
|
| All ThinPrint control elements are seamlessly integrated in the Microsoft Management Console as snap-ins. This allows you to configure ThinPrint centrally for all servers in the same place that you also configure and maintain all other system components under Microsoft Windows. |
| 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. |
| Support for remote print servers and print 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. |
| 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. |
| Connection-oriented bandwidth control for print data * |
|
|
| ThinPrint bandwidth monitoring 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. |
| Recording and analysis of company-wide printing costs * |
|
|
| The ThinPrintTracking 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 ThinPrint 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. |
