What Is an All-in-One Printer?
"Roaming printing" is also known as "following printing". In English is Follow Me Printing, which means that the printer sends the print task directly to the printing center or the print server, and the user can output to the most convenient printer. The simplest understanding is that the printing task outputs the paper according to the printer location selected by the user. It is called following printing, roaming printing. English also has Follow You, Find Me Printing.
Roaming print
Right!
- "Roaming printing" is also known as "following printing". In English is Follow Me Printing, which means that the printer sends the printing task directly to the printing.
- What is Follow Me Printing (Follow Me Printing)
- There are two main ways to achieve current roaming printing:
- 1.Use a virtual printer
- The user submits the print job to the print center server through virtual printing, and the print job or task is retained on the service or the document center. After the user can provide authentication with a print terminal, the print server will forward the print job to the terminal.
- 2.Use print server
- The user sends the print job directly to a printer on the print server. The print server pauses the print job and keeps a copy of the job to the server for job forwarding. The paper output method is the same as that of virtual printing on a convenient printer, and the user selects a print job to print, or directly prints by card. The difference between the above two implementation methods is:
- 1. Virtual printing deployment is flexible, users only need to face one printer. The disadvantage is the paper, type, and many printer features that cannot be used. For example: all-in-one, binding, double-sided printing and so on.
- 2. The server mode requires the same printer model or the same driver. Users can choose different printers to print. You can take full advantage of printing features. The disadvantage is that the printer conditions are limited, at least the same driver is required, or the driver is universal. This solution is particularly suitable for large enterprises with printers of the same model.
- PrintUsage Roaming Printing Principle
- PrintUsage converts all roaming printing methods to server methods. The task remains on the print server. When the user needs it, the printing paper is obtained through a specific device or MFP. As shown in the figure:
- Follow me
- You can go to the printing or copying equipment
- 1) Self-service printing terminal
- 2) Multifunctional or
- 3) Credit card
- Get the output file nearby.
- Suitable for those printers
- Kyocera MFPs, Lexmark full range printers, SHARP MFP Sharp MFPs, TOSHIBA MFP Toshiba MFPs. Suitable for HP UPD series printers, Ricoh universal driver series printers.
- Roaming printing principle of cloud printing
- Roaming printing through cloud printing technology overcomes the shortcomings of traditional roaming printing through virtual printing or server. It can achieve any roaming between all brands and models of printers, and can ensure that the various features of the printer can be used. For example, secret printing is a typical system that uses cloud printing roaming technology.
- When users need to print, they can first initiate a print application to the cloud print service through a computer, laptop, mobile phone, or other mobile device. The generated print tasks will remain in the cloud, and then the user can use any self-service terminal or multifunctional , Even on ordinary web pages, you can choose to release tasks to any printer for printing. Roaming printing through cloud printing can provide users with the most convenient printing experience.
