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 to allow printing across multiple print servers.

For example, a user who works in two different buildings can submit a print job from their computer in Building A, and while on the way to a meeting in Building B, they can walk up to any predefined MFP (with the embedded application installed on it) and "pull" the job to the device which then prints the job.

If you want to deploy the Equitrac Embedded application in a single-server or a multi-server Follow-You Printing environment, do the following:

  1. Enable secure printing on each MFP. Secure printing enables the Equitrac 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 to multiple compatible devices with the Equitrac Embedded application, 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.
See the Advanced Printing Configuration chapter in the Kofax Equitrac Administration Help for details on configuring secure printing, Follow-You Printing, and pull groups.
