WebPrint (upload file)

If a WebPrint print input has been created in the system, users have the option of uploading files from directly within the WebClient and using them as a print job.

To open the WebClient, enter http://<hostname>/webclient in the web browser (where hostname corresponds to the server on which the IQ4docs WebClient was installed). The login screen opens.

Log in with username and password or PIN. Which login methods are available can be defined by the administrator.

Login with PIN: Enter the PIN and click on the green button (you probably received the PIN from the system via e-mail).

Login with user credentials: Under enter your username and under your password (username and password are usually the same as those you use to log in to your PC).

Click on My Print Jobs. The list shows all your print jobs that are present in the print@me queue.

Upload a file by clicking the Add button. An Explorer window opens where you can select the file. Only supported file types are displayed. After the selection, the upload or further requests will start. After a few seconds you can refresh the list view of print jobs and the file will be displayed as a print job (even if the default method is set to direct printing, a WebPrint will not be printed as a direct print, see also Setting direct printing / print@me).

For e-mail and WebPrint, these files are sent directly to the device. This means the devices must support direct printing of these file types. Currently the following file types can be used with IQ4docs:

  • PDF (Portable Document Format)
  • XPS (XML Paper Specification)

Note that there may be restrictions depending on the device manufacturer, file properties, and file type (e.g. for PDF files, the paper format might not be recognized by the device).

For more information, please contact your partner responsible for questions about devices.

The following file formats are supported for Office printing. These are not sent directly to the device, but are first converted into a PDF file by IQ4docs, which is then used as a print job.

  • JPG (image format of the Joint Photographic Experts Group)
  • TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
  • DOC, DOCX (Microsoft Office Word)
  • XLS, XLSX (Microsoft Office Excel)
  • PPTX (Microsoft Office PowerPoint)

When converting Office formats to PDF, there may be slight variances in the display.
