About the Xerox Mobile Print Solution

The Xerox Mobile Print Solution allows customers to print office documents and photos from their mobile device. The customer can either submit their documents using email or the Xerox Print Portal Application (for IOS or Android devices). While printing, the customer can select copy count, 1-sided / 2-sided, color / black & white, and stapling print options. Documents can be sent directly to a printer, or for sensitive content the customer can send documents (via email or app upload) to the Mobile Print server and print when they arrive at the printer. This is all done without the need for print drivers or special software. The Xerox Mobile Print Solution works with EIP-enabled and non-EIP enabled MFPs, as well as non-Xerox devices. There are various methods for submitting and uploading files and printing documents, which are outlined below. You can upload documents by: Sending an email with your office documents or photos to the Xerox Mobile Print server Using the Document upload feature in the Xerox Print Portal App How to print uploaded documents: From the Xerox Print Portal App, select Documents > Print Options, and then select Print. From a Mobile Print EIP-enabled device, enter your confirmation code, select documents to print and print options, and then select Print. How to send directly from a smart device to a printer: Using your smart device, select on a document and via the Open-With Xerox Print Portal App, select your printer and print options, and then select Print. Note The documents uploaded from the Print Portal App and the documents emailed are combined and are available to print from both methods.

Mobile Print Main Server Configuration


(continued)

Email Addresses Administrator Email Address (eg: mpadmin@email.com) The Administrator Email Address is the address used by the Xerox Mobile Print Solution server to send an email in the event that the server address changes. This email should be to the system administrator in charge of the server.

Multifunction Printer (MFP) Information Gathering Form


Gather and note the following information about each Multifunction Printer (MFP) that you want to use with the Xerox Mobile Print Solution. The IP Address or Host Name is required for each printer. Device IP Address or Host Name Username and password SSL (true/false) GET Community Name SET Community Name PDL Type Accounting System Site Name

Step 2. Configure Xerox Mobile Print Solution to Access the Customer Email Server
In order for the Xerox Mobile Print Solution to operate, it must be configured to access the customer email server. The server IP Address, default port, secure connection and incoming and outgoing mail server information should have been identified in Step 1. Enter all of these server settings in the Server Setup area from the Properties tab at the top of the Administration window.

Access the Server Setup


The Server Setup subtab from the Properties tab is where to enter required configuration settings for the email server, printer and user accounts that allow the email server to operate.

2-4

Xerox Mobile Print Solution Configuration and System Administration Guide

Mobile Print Main Server Configuration

1. From the Admin Tool window, Select the Properties tab. The Server Setup subtab should be highlighted in the left panel and the Server Setup window displayed. 2. Locate the email server and printer information gathering forms from Step 1. 3. Use the forms to enter values in all of the fields in the Server Setup window. Review the following field descriptions and steps on how to select or enter the information.

Server IP Address Option


1. From the Server Setup dialog, locate the Server IP Address Option field and pulldown menu. 2. From the Server IP Address Option menu, select either IPv4 or IPv6. This menu specifies the servers IP address, not the printer IP address. Your selection determines how the printer will connect to the solution server. For example, if you select IPv6, the registration that is set on the printer to the server will be IPv6. Note What appears in the Server IP Address Option menu depends on what is available on the server and network. If the server and network are not configured for IPv6, then it will not appear in the menu.

About IPv4 and IPv6 Connections


If you have a mixed IPv4 and IPv6 connection environment, there are some special considerations to take into account for Xerox Mobile Print Solution.

IPv6 Considerations:
Some EIP devices will accept IPv6 addressing in EIP registrations. Not all network infrastructures support IPv6 addressing.

What does this mean?


If your server is configured with IPv6 but the subnet where your printer resides does not support IPv6, your printer will not be able to resolve the URLs in the Xerox Mobile Print Solution EIP Devices registration. The Xerox Mobile Print Solution icon and label will not display on the MFP (Multifunction Printer) and the application will not open. Xerox recommends IPv4 addressing unless there is a specific need to use IPv6 addresses.

Incoming Mail Server


The Incoming Mail Server area from the Server Setup subtab is where you set the incoming email servers along with port numbers, passwords, and whether a secure connection is needed. This information must be available in order to complete the software configuration.

2. In the Messages area, change the default message in the Confirmation Message box to the message desired. Tip A best practice is to add text to the confirmation message, before the confirmation number, that tells the user how long their job will stay in the system. For example, As a safeguard, jobs are automatically deleted if not printed within 12 hours of submission. Any jobs not printed within this time period will need to be resubmitted. Change the number of hours to the value set in the Auto Delete Job Timer. 3. Make sure that somewhere in the text [####] appears. This is required since without it, no confirmation number would be transmitted in the email. 4. If you have finished making changes on this page, click Apply.

Proxy Server
These email proxy server settings are found under the Proxy Settings subtab under the Properties tab. A proxy server for Mobile Print intercepts connections between the sender and receiver to provide increased performance and security. The proxy server is used where a high level of security is required. Use the settings in this area to configure connection to the proxy server.

Enable Proxy Server


To use a proxy server with the solution software, in the Proxy Settings area, select the Enable Proxy Server checkbox. Clearing this checkbox will disable the connection to the proxy server. Web Proxy Address, Bypass Proxy, List of addresses, and Requires Authentication are only available for editing if Enable Proxy Server is selected.

Web Proxy Address


Type the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for the proxy server. The URI must include the server address and port number, http://proxy.anycompany.com:8001, for example. The proxy address must begin with http:// or https://

Bypass Proxy for Local (Intranet) Addresses


When the Enable Proxy Server setting is active, all browser requests are forwarded to the proxy server. There are instances where it is preferable to have the proxy server bypassed, such as locally available resources available through a direct network access. It is recommended that you select Bypass proxy for (local intranet) addresses.

Xerox Mobile Print Solution Configuration and System Administration Guide

Mobile Print Main Server Configuration

To ensure that an internal IP address or URLs with a fully qualified domain name bypasses the proxy server, add the addresses to the Bypass proxy for local (intranet) addresses field.

Bypass Proxy Settings for These Addresses


In the List of addresses that will be bypassed by the proxy field, type any addresses that you specifically want to bypass the proxy server. Ensure that each address is separated by a semicolon ( ; ).

Requires Authentication
If the proxy server requires authentication, select the Requires Authentication checkbox to enable the authentication controls and complete the Authentication Mode, Domain, Username, and Password fields in this area. The Requires Authentication checkbox is only available if Enable Proxy Server is selected.

Authentication Mode
If you know the authentication mode that the proxy server requires, select it from the Authentication Mode menu. The default setting is Auto.

Software Maintenance
This chapter deals with software maintenance procedures such as: Printer enablement update Backup and restore Removing the software Licensing

Printer Enablement Update


The Xerox Mobile Print Solution natively supports most EIP capable Multi-Function Printers (MFP) available at the time of the solutions release. When new MFPs are introduced before the next release of the Mobile Print Solution, the Printer Enablement Process as described below should be used to enable the new MFP to support Mobile Print. Please refer to the Supported Printers list at http://www.support.xerox.com/support/xerox-mobile-print-solution/support/ to determine whether a particular MFP is supported natively by the Xerox Mobile Print Solution or whether the Printer Enablement Process is required at this time. There is one Supported Printers list for each supported release of the Xerox Mobile Print Solution. These tables will be updated for future Xerox Mobile Print Solution releases to reflect when new MFPs are supported natively and when new MFPs become available and can be supported via a Printer Enablement Process.

Backup and Restore


Follow your recommended corporate best practice to backup or restore the Xerox Mobile Print Solution server. You should backup the server prior to carrying out any action, such as installation of a upgrade, which might result in irreversible changes to the system. There are two types of backup that should be done: Full System Backup / Restore
