Dear Customer:
This kit contains the Xerox FreeFlow
®
Remote Print Server software.
Product overview
Remote Print Server allows access to FreeFlow Print Servers and DocuSP printers on a remote client. Remote Print
Server provides the functionality of the FreeFlow Print Server and DocuSP at a remote desktop, enabling the user
anywhere on the network to use the full range of functions.
Remote Print Server allows the remote client to easily add printers and to dynamically view the status of all FreeFlow
Print Server and DocuSP systems. After adding printers to the list, double-click any printer and the full FreeFlow Print
Server or DocuSP interface is available for use.
The Remote Print Server software encrypts passwords for security, and the Remote Print Server can be enabled or
disabled on an individual client, FreeFlow Print Server, or DocuSP system.
Refer to the Remote Print Server help for further information on adding printers. The interface includes access to the
full help system as well.
