1 General Information
1.1 Purpose
The ThinPrint® technology enables the transmission of compressed
and bandwidth-optimized print jobs within a network. Print jobs are
compressed using the server component of the .print technology,
the so-called .print Engine.
The server sends the compressed print data to a device with the
implemented .print Client. This client then decompresses the print
data, transferring it to any printer.
The TPG60 (ThinPrint®Gateway60) contains a completely integrated
ThinPrint® .print client. This ThinPrint .print client allows you to
receive and decompress print data. The TPG60 supports the decoding
of print data that was encrypted via SSL. The TPG60 also supports
the features .print AutoConnect and .print Connection Service.
• The feature .print AutoConnect allows you to automatically
create the required printer objects for the relevant client on the
server. .print AutoConnect will automatically connect all
selected printers on the server with a ThinPrint® port; provided
that templates exist.
• The .print Connection Service allows you to print to .print
clients, that are found behind a firewall, for example. This allows
the connection via masked networks as well as the assignment
of the relevant print job to the respective end device.
1.2 System Requirements
The TPG60 has been designed for the use in TCP/IP-based networks.
A ThinPrint® server must be integrated within this network. The
network printers involved must support socket printing. If you want
to use the .print Connection Service, you need a license.
