Configuring Follow-You Printing

Follow-You Printing extends the basic functionality of secure printing by allowing a user to release a print job to other compatible devices in the organization. Even if you deployed multiple DRE print servers—each of which manages a separate set of devices—you can configure Equitrac Office or Equitrac Express to allow printing across multiple print servers.

For example, a user can submit a print job from their computer, and while on the way to a meeting in a different section of the office, they can walk up to any MFP (with the embedded application installed on it) and pull the job to a compatible printer nearest them.
Note: The native Samsung Print Application for a device must be disabled for Follow-You Printing to work.

If you want to deploy Unified Client for Samsung Smart UX in a single-server or a multi-server Follow-You Printing environment, do the following:

  1. Enable secure printing on each MFP.

    Secure printing sets up a virtual print queue that holds jobs until they are released at the embedded device by a valid user.

  2. Create and manage pull groups.

    To allow users to release print jobs through Unified Client for Samsung Smart UX, you must create Pull groups, then add each physical device hosting the embedded application to a pull group.

  3. Configure the Follow-You print settings.

    Determine the site where you want Follow-You Printing to be accessible from, and choose whether the print job is priced based on its properties before or after it is released.

  4. Optional: You can enable multi-server Follow-You to make this a global setting instead configuring it for each device.
Note: See the Advanced Printing Configuration chapter in the Equitrac Office or Equitrac Express Installation Guide for details on configuring Follow-You Printing and device Pull groups.
