If checked users, who otherwise must print later, can print directly, while there is no internet connection to the Printix Cloud. This is provided the computer and printer is on the same network, that is the document does not need to be printed via the cloud. On the computer a yellow dot is shown on the Printix Client iconwhen the Printix Client is in the state Connection failed and cannot register documents with Printix. The Select print method dialog will pop up and allow the user to select Print to submit the document directly to the printer. User and usage data is still collected and then sent to the Printix Cloud once the internet connection is back. Print anywhere does not work while there is no internet connection to the Printix Cloud.

Printix Go
- Require PIN code for sign in with card
This is unchecked by default. Check this if users are to both present card and enter PIN code to sign in to Printix Go enabled printers.
- Require PIN code for sign in with ID code
This is checked by default. If users are to only enter ID code to sign in to Printix Go enabled printers, you must contact us so we can change the setting for you. This is for security reasons.
- Users who must print securely, will only need to do this for printers with Printix Go
This is unchecked by default. Check this so the affected users must release documents they submit to printers with Printix Go. These users are thereby exempt from using Printix App on their phone to release documents when printing directly to other printers.
