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:

a

Enable the option.

b

Set 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.
