Once you have added cloud storage, documents printed Via the cloud (including Chrome prints) or as Mobile print from Android and iOS phones and tablets, will go via your cloud storage, rather than the Printix Cloud. In addition you can enable storage of pending documents in your secure cloud storage:

• Store print anywhere documents
  Check this if you want print anywhere documents to be stored in the cloud.
• Store print later documents
  Check this if you want print later documents to be stored in the cloud. Be aware that print later documents are typically larger in size compared to print anywhere documents.

Which documents go via the cloud?

Without cloud storage enabled:

• Via the cloud documents are sent via Printix Cloud.
• Mobile print documents are sent via Printix Cloud.
• Chrome print documents are sent via Printix Cloud.
• Print anywhere documents stays only on the computer that submitted the document.
• Print later documents stays only on the computer that submitted the document.

Enabled cloud storage:

• Via the cloud documents are sent via the cloud storage.
• Mobile print documents are sent via the cloud storage.
• Chrome print documents are sent via the cloud storage.
• Print anywhere documents are stored on the computer that submitted the document and if Store print anywhere documents is checked, the documents are also stored in the cloud storage.
• Print later documents are stored on the computer that submitted the document and if Store print later documents is checked, the documents are also stored in the cloud storage.

To reduce Internet network traffic, it will always try to retrieve the release document from the computer that submitted the document if the computer is online and it is on the same network as the printer. Otherwise it will retrieve it from the cloud storage.
