Overview

For the ThinPrint workflow, a ThinPrint server compresses your ThinPrint print job If you select the encryption option, the server encrypts the ThinPrint job Your Xerox device is a ThinPrint client printer that receives, decompresses, and decrypts the print data, then prints the job ThinPrint is disabled by default ThinPrint Client Certificate Requirements For ThinPrint TLS channel encryption, certificates are required on both the ThinPrint Server and the Xerox device The certificates can be created by an individual certificate authority server at the customer site, or by an official certificate source.  Configure a ThrinPrint Client To configure your printer as a ThinPrint Client: Note : ThinPrint encryption requires that your Xerox device and the ThinPrint server have identical configuration If both systems are not configured the same, job submissions fail. The ThinPrint Server requires a Server Authentication Certificate and the corresponding Certificate Authority Root Certificate The Certificate Authority Root Certificate is the certificate of the Certificate Authority that signed the Server Authentication Certificate. The Xerox device requires a ThinPrint Server Authentication Certificate that is signed by the same Root Certificate Authority that signed the ThinPrint Server Authentication Certificate of the ThinPrint Server. To upload certificates from the certificate management page, system administrator credentials are required As the system administrator, after you upload a certificate, from the ThinPrint page for your Xerox device, select and assign the certificate for ThinPrint Encryption Note : The ThinPrint Server Authentication Certificate on the device and the ThinPrint Server Authentication Certificate on the server can be the same or different certificates It is recommended that each device has a unique certificate. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Setup . In the Protocol area, for ThinPrint, click Edit . For ThinPrint Printing, select Enabled Note : The Printer Name is a read-only field, based on the Device Name. To add printers to a named group, type the group name in the Printer Class field You can enter up to seven ASCII characters or special characters in the Printer Class field. The packet size determines the size of the unit for transferring the printing data To set the packet size, choose an option: To allow the ThinPrint Server to determine the packet size, select Auto-Allow ThinPrint Server to Choose . To change the default setting, clear Auto-Allow ThinPrint Server to Choose Type a value from 200–64000. To allow the ThinPrint Server to determine the packet size, select Auto-Allow ThinPrint Server to Choose . To change the default setting, clear Auto-Allow ThinPrint Server to Choose Type a value from 200–64000. The default TCP Port is 4000 To use a different port, in the TCP Port field, type a port number. To enable encryption for your ThinPrint print job, select Activate TLS . For Select ThinPrint Certificate, select a certificate for your Xerox device. If you choose to use TLS, you cannot print a ThinPrint job unless a ThinPrint certificate is installed on your Xerox device. If the ThinPrint Certificate is not installed on your Xerox device, upload the certificate For ThinPrint Certificate upload instructions, in the ThinPrint Encryption section, click the I icon. To upload a ThinPrint Certificate, click the View Xerox Device Certificates link.  After a ThinPrint Certificate has been installed successfully, the certificate is available in the Select ThinPrint Certificate menu. If you choose to use TLS, you cannot print a ThinPrint job unless a ThinPrint certificate is installed on your Xerox device. If the ThinPrint Certificate is not installed on your Xerox device, upload the certificate For ThinPrint Certificate upload instructions, in the ThinPrint Encryption section, click the I icon. To upload a ThinPrint Certificate, click the View Xerox Device Certificates link.  After a ThinPrint Certificate has been installed successfully, the certificate is available in the Select ThinPrint Certificate menu.
