UniPrint Infinity v9 is the next-generation enterprise print management solution for the mobility and security movement. The software replaces all manufacturer printer drivers with a single PDF-based universal print driver simplifying printer management and enabling anywhere, anytime, any device secure pull printing across platforms. The UniPrint Infinity Suite also comes with Apple iOS/OSX Printing, Email2Print, Delegate Printing, SmartPrint and High Availability Modules.
1. Many businesses deploy universal printer driver (UPD) software to streamline
printing and printer management in their complex IT environments. It is
therefore of no surprise that there are many printing solutions available on
the market; and finding the one that fits your specific IT environment and
objectives is not an easy feat. Meanwhile, the shifting macro landscape -
globalization of businesses, centralization of IT infrastructures, technological
growth such as cloud and mobility, changing work-life styles and security
concerns, add to the complexity of enterprise print management. Forward
thinking organizations must future-proof their printing environments to provide
worry-free printing with security at reduced costs to their workforce.
UniPrint Infinity™ is your solution.
Whether you are using virtualization solutions such as Microsoft, Citrix and
VMware View VDI, or physical desktops, UniPrint Infinity is the printing
solution of choice for your organization.

UniPrint Infinity Software
1 2 A user prints from any application to one Virtual Print
Queue (VPQ). UniPrint Universal Printer Driver (UPD)
converts and encrypts the print data into a PDF print
job and stores it in a holding server (UP Bridge).
3 The print job is sent to the central printer server where
it is spooled. Spooled print data on a central print
server print queue can be many times the size of the
original document. Using the UniPrint Transport Port
Monitor, a spooled print job can be compressed by up
to 95%.
4 The remote user authenticates on the vPad, and
selects the document for printing. The compressed
print data is decompressed for release on the selected
printer in the proximity for immediate pickup.
1 2 Only one UniPrint™ Universal Printer Driver (UPD)
is required on each Application Server. When
a user prints, the UniPrint UPD converts and
compresses the print data by over 90% into an
encrypted PDF file and sends over (a WAN or the
Internet) the document to UniPrint Client on the
remote client’s workstation.
3 The user can print the spooled document to network
or locally-attached printer; archive or e-mail as an
attachment; or merge multiple PDF files.
4 The Gateway Module allows thin or zero clients to print
to the network printers without installing the UniPrint
Client software.

More Than a Universal Printer Driver
UniPrint Infinity™ v9 Overview – Features Benefits
Standard UPD Features
• Administrators only need to install and manage one PDF-
based UPD from the Centralized Management Console.
• PDF Conversion/Compression saves bandwidth use
by over 90%.
• PrintPAL printer mapping utility allows centralized and
consistent printer mapping based on Active Directory, IP
addresses or device names.
• The Printer Profiles feature allows the creation of custom
printer profiles (such as stapling, hole punching, stacking)
available on any printer per printer or driver.
• Gateway Module allows thin or zero clients to print to
network printers without installing client software.
• Statistics Archiving Module enables the tracking and
auditing of user print statistics – who prints what, where and
when; and monitoring for irregularities. PDF reports by print
job activity, user activity summary, day of the week usage,
and top N user can be exported on demand.
• End-to-end 256-bit encryption scheme.
• Additional PDF Features – Save, e-mail
and merge multiple PDF files before printing.
Secure Pull Printing
• User will see one printer only – UniPrint VPQ, across the
corporate network. No more printer mapping issues.
• VPQ and user-authenticated pull printing on UniPrint vPad
or VPQ Connector plug-ins on HP, Xerox, Brother, and
Samsung MFPs.
• Tap-and-Print with Security – Users can simply tap their
RFID or HID devices on the vPad to print on demand and
for added security.
• Uninterrupted Printing through VPQ - Print commands
sent through the VPQ to busy or non-functioning printers
are automatically re-directed to other available printers for
immediate printing.
• Delegate Printing allows users to delegate the right to print
their documents to another user or user group(s) through
PIN-coded user authentication on vPad or assigned
printers.
• vPad Pull Printing reduces waste printing, thereby saving
paper, ink, other consumables and energy costs.
Mobile and Cloud Printing
• Apple iOS/OS X Printing
on any printer across the
corporate network.
• Email2Print for any mobile device
on designated or
PIN-protected printers.
• One-click to Install and easy
to deploy; no client software is
needed.
High Availability
• Enable fully redundant and load
balanced printing setup, promoting fast
and reliable printing.
• Provide 24/7 printing uptime, essential
for global businesses.
Smart Print
Module
• Provide Role-based Printer Mapping
that is especially beneficial for EHR
applications in the healthcare sector.
• Allow administrators to bypass EHR
designated printers in a Citrix, VMware
View or Microsoft VDI environments
ensuring that print output follows
the users.
vPad Print Stream
Compression
• The Print Stream Compression
feature compresses spooled
print data by over 95% delivering
faster printing in remote sites over
the ICA, RDP or PCoIP virtual
channel, eliminating the need
to support Windows-based
print servers.
• The vPad Network Print
Appliance is a Linux-based
device with on/off capability,
priced at a fraction of the cost of
acquiring and supporting printer
server hardware.
