4.7 How to Use the ThinPrint Connection Service
The ThinPrint Connection Service sends print jobs via TCP/IP to
ThinPrint clients (i.e. the TPG) in masked networks (NAT).
The Connection Service manages the entire communication between
the ThinPrint server and the corresponding client. This allows the
connection via masked networks as well as the assignment of the
relevant print job to the respective end device.
To use this service, you must prepare the TPG. For each end device
that uses the Connection Service, you must store the client ID and
an authentication key in the database of the Connection Service.
You must also set these two values on the TPG.
Please note that you need a ThinPrint license for each client ID.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start the TPG Control Center.
2. Select DEVICE – ThinPrint®.
3. Tick Connection Service.
4. Enter the relevant parameters; see: Table 10 Ö48.
5. Click Save & Restart to confirm.
ª The settings are saved.
