Key Features & Benefits
The change from expensive leased and dedicated lines to cost-effective VPN connections, usually based on the affordable DSL standard, is nowadays a key requirement for every IT manager. Printing via these VPN connections, nevertheless, presents a number of challenges in terms of administration. The need to abort all print jobs due to even the slightest instability in the DSL connection, the inability to address printers in masked networks, or the need for the drivers of branch office printers to be made available centrally are only some of the difficulties that administrators have to overcome. Moreover, the costs for volume-metered VPN connections can easily spiral, especially on account of the large data volumes required for print jobs.
The .print Connected Gateway offers the ideal solution for all these problems. It stabilizes the transfer of print jobs even in the event of a disconnection, for up to 90 seconds (the additional use of the .print Queue Manager is recommended for bridging longer distances). Unlike the standard communication direction, the Connected Client Gateway also enables connections from the remote location to the central server, and thus allows the addressing of network printers via TCP/IP also in masked networks. Thanks to an adaptive compression technology, these .print components allow the reduction of print data by up to 97 %, even in client gateway configurations. The patented Driver Free Printing technology also makes central administration of printer drivers unnecessary. In conjunction with the .print Engine, the Connected Gateway offers the ideal solution for simple, fast and cost-effective connection of remote offices. Please note that printing to a .print Connected Gateway requires a .print Engine (.print Server Engine, .print Application Server Engine, or .print Engine Unix). The .print Engine software is not included in this package. Please download it separately.
