ThinShare

In the event that printer shares are connected to computers in remote offices, the print data can be compressed in the opposite direction in addition to the normal ThinPrint compression – between the computers in the remote offices (where the applications are running) and the central print server. This print data compression of the shares is called ThinShare; it is available in the Driver Free Printing and V-Layer print modes.

  • Here you can choose whether ThinShare should be enabled by default for all new printer objects to be created that use the Output Gateway as driver.
    Confirm with Apply.
