VPQ Connectors for Multi-Function Printers

The VPQ Connectors are specially designed applications that can be embedded in Xerox, Samsung, HP and Brother multi-function printers (MFPs) to enable secure pull printing to network printers via UniPrint infinity’s Virtual Print Queue (VPQ).

The VPQ Connectors allow users to authenticate on the MFP touch screen to release print jobs securely and on demand. The print jobs can be released to any other printer anywhere within an organization’s multi-vendor printer environment. In addition to driving business efficiency and document security, the function allows the organization to save on wasteful printing, hardware and energy costs.

Using the single intuitive interface on an MFP panel, users can use the existing features on the MFP and enjoy all the functionality and benefits of the UniPrint Infinity software, including simplified printer management, easy and error-free printer mapping, print statistics auditing and archiving, and a fully redundant printing setup with load balancing capabilities. Each VPQ Connector is printer manufacturer-specific.
