Once you have added cloud storage, documents printed Via the cloud (including Chrome print) or as Mobile print from phones and tablets, Android and iOS/iPadOS, 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?
Print scenario | No cloud storage | Cloud storage |
---|---|---|
Print anywhere | Documents stays only on the computer that submitted the document. | Documents are stored on the computer that submitted the document and if Store print anywhere documents is checked, the documents are also stored in your cloud storage. |
Print later | Documents stays only on the computer that submitted the document. | Documents are stored on the computer that submitted the document and if Store print later documents is checked, the documents are also stored in your cloud storage. |
Via the cloud | Documents are sent via Printix Cloud. | Documents are sent via your cloud storage. |
Mobile print | Documents are sent via Printix Cloud. Documents to be released (anywhere and later) are stored in the Printix Cloud. | Documents are sent via your cloud storage. Documents to be release (anywhere and later) are stored in your cloud storage. |
Chrome print | Documents are sent via Printix Cloud. Documents to be released (anywhere and later) are stored in the Printix Cloud. | Documents are sent via your cloud storage. Documents to be release (anywhere and later) are stored in your 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.
