Tip #1: Obtaining and Applying a UniPrint License to your UniPrint Server

Sign in to the UniPrint Web site. Click Add a License. Enter the Serial Number, Server Name, and Server IP Address of the server where UniPrint is installed. Click Add License and an activation key will be sent to the e-mail address used for signing in to the UniPrint Web site. The activation key is sent as a .TXT attachment. Rename the text file to .REG and save it on the UniPrint Server. Log on to the UniPrint Server machine with administrative rights. From Windows Explorer, browse to the location where the UniPrint activation key was saved. Double-click this file to install the key. In the Registry Editor dialog box, click Yes to install the activation key information into the server’s registry. Verify the license installation by clicking Start, point to Programs, UniPrint Suite and then click UniPrint Management Console. Under Performance & Maintenance, click System Properties. The license information should appear in the details pane.

Tip #2: Optimizing the Printing Process Using the UniPrint Acrobat Plug-in

At times re-rendering a document that is already in PDF format may produce undesirable results. In such cases, users can utilize the UniPrint Acrobat Plug-in to inform UniPrint not to re-process the file. This tool can be downloaded from the UniPrint Web site, DownloadOthers.aspx?TypeID=Utilities.

Tip #3: Ensuring Font Type Remains True During Rendering Process

All UniPrint print jobs are generated in PDF format. During the conversion, the description of each font used in the original document is added to the PDF file. When the print job is sent to the printer, the printing process of either UniPrint Client or UniPrint Print Server will map the fonts used in the PDF file to the ones locally installed on the computer. If a font is not found, the process will substitute it with a locally installed font that has the closest resemblance based on the font description. There are two ways to ensure the correct font is used when printing: Enable the appropriate Font embedding options and/or Multi-language character support options on the UniPrint Server or UniPrint VDI machine. On the UniPrint Server or UniPrint VDI machine, click Start, point to Programs, UniPrint Suite and then click UniPrint Management Console. Under Performance & Maintenance, click Driver Properties and then click the Fonts & Images tab. Select the font embedding options you require and then click Save. Install any non-standard font(s) used in the document on all client workstations and/or print servers.

Tip #4: Improving Image Quality Within UniPrint PDF File

There a few ways to improve the quality of images in UniPrint PDF files: Enable PostScript emulation option on the UniPrint Server or UniPrint VDI machine. This option is particularly useful when printing graphic or image intensive documents, such as Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. On the UniPrint Server or UniPrint VDI machine, click Start, point to Programs, UniPrint Suite and then click UniPrint Management Console. Under Performance & Maintenance, click Driver Properties and then click the Fonts & Images tab. Click PostScript emulation and then click Save. Adjust resolution from the default value of 300 dpi to 600 or 1200 dpi on the UniPrint Server or UniPrint VDI machine. On the UniPrint Server or UniPrint VDI machine, click Start, point to Programs, UniPrint Suite and then click UniPrint Management Console. Under Performance & Maintenance, click Driver Properties and then click the General tab. Select the desired resolution and then click Save.
