Services in “Input Control”: ThinPrint

22.6. ThinPrint

Introduction

Starting with release level 2171, ThinPrint is available in all print servers.

For a number of printers that are popular with ThinPrint users, a Centronics extension cable or a Mini-Centronics extension cable may be necessary in order to connect the Intermate1xx to the printer.

The terminology which we use (starting in “Processing Layers” [page 123]) needs to be adjusted if you want to understand how the Intermate1xx and ThinPrint work together. The term “RDP or WTSC” on the figure below (left) refers to the fact that either a Citrix Client (RDP, not ICA) or a Windows Terminal Services Client can be used.

The [ThinPrint] configuration page in the Intermate1xx:

aEnable the option.

bSet a “Client TCP Port” for the Intermate1xx to listen on.

This will be a TCP/IP port on the ThinPrint server (TCP/IP is the default print protocol for new ports). Consult your ThinPrint manual to see if you need a different port number setting than the default (4000) for your ThinPrint setup and printing environment.
