Introduction
Thank you for purchasing MOPS the mobile printing solution. MOPS is an advanced document
management & accounting solution that allows users to print from their client PCs, Laptops,
Smartphone, Tablets or via email in easy-to use and highly secure way.
Driver print
Users can print from within their applications on workstations as usual to the shared printers on
MOPS-Server.
Web print
Users can upload documents to MOPS Server for printing via a web portal.
Email-print
Users can send documents to MOPS Server for printing by sending an email with the documents
attached to one or multiple email address especially configured for that purpose. MOPS is periodically
retrieving mails from these accounts processing them to the desired print queues.
Mobile print
Users can send documents to MOPS-Server from Smartphones or Tablets using the MOPS-App.
MOPS-App is available for iOS and Android devices.
Depending on the configuration of the queue linked to the email account, print jobs sent to MOPS will
be printed immediately (in case of a direct queue) or stored on MOPS Server until the job owner is
authenticating himself at the printer (virtual queue). User Authentication can be performed by ID cards
swiped to a NetCardReader (networked card reader) or the MOPS-App.

Symbols in this manual
In this manual, some important items are described with the symbols shown below. Be sure to read
these items before changing any configuration.
Hint:
Indicates information to which you should pay attention
Warning:
Indicates a situation where modification of the settings may have severe impact on correct operation.

Virtual and direct queues
MOPS is designed to manage, track and route print jobs from the users clients (PCs, mobile devices
etc.) to a printer of your choice. Thanks to its advanced design, MOPS does not need to install any
additional port or similar to take control of the Windows printing system / print queues. Therefore
MOPS knows two different types of queues:
Direct queue
A direct queue is a shared Windows print queue for a dedicated printer. The print job is generated on
the user client or sent by email / upload to the share hosted on the MOPS server. MOPS will process
the documents to a print job and immediately release it to the printer.
Virtual queue
A virtual queue is a shared Windows print queue that is NOT linked to a physical printer. Print jobs that
are sent to a virtual queue will be spooled on the MOPS server until they are requested for printout at
any printer (print2me) or deleted (by user/admin intervention or due to a rule).
To actively release print jobs that are spooled on MOPS server a user authentication at the printer is
required. MOPS offers two different ways of authentication:
Networked Card Readers
are used to offer print2me/PullPrinting capabilities for direct print queues. Therefore print jobs are held
in MOPS virtual queues. To release all print jobs of a user he simply swipes his card at the reader
associated with the printer. MOPS will automatically send all jobs of that user to the printer´s queue.
MOPS-App / Print Release (iOS & Android)
Instead of a networked card reader spooled print jobs can be released using MOPS-APP (mobile print
release app). Users authenticate themselves to the server via the app. After selecting the printer (via
printer list or QR code scan) the job list is shown on the mobile device. Jobs can individually be
requested for printout.

Installing MOPS
Before installing MOPS make sure your server host is supported, operational and the event viewer
does not show any critical errors.
MOPS can take control / accounting of all printers locally installed on your print server. So it is
recommended to install and configure all printers and their appropriate drivers before installing
MOPS.
4.1
Pull printing / print2me
In case you intend to setup a pull printing environment at least one central (virtual) queue is required,
where the users are printing to and where the print jobs are spooled until they will be released 'on
demand' by the print job owner.
This virtual queue is a standard Windows queue that will be 'converted' by MOPS. So it is
recommended to add a new printer to your server that will be used as virtual queue by MOPS.
Attention:
Jobs kept in a virtual queue will be routed to different target queues/devices. So keep in mind to
assign a compatible printer driver to this queue.
4.2
Installing the software
To install MOPS run the Setup.exe program and follow the instructions.
Make sure the maintenance of your system
is matching the version you are installing /
updating to. Click Next

Configure TCPConv
MOPS supports PullPrinting by means of a networked card reader (NetCardReader).
A NetCardReader typically consist of a USB to Ethernet adapter (TCPConv) and a card reader
supporting the specific card technology in use.
TPConv is a serial device server providing two Ethernet plugs connected to an internal TCP switch.
This allows attaching a networked or USB reader to a printer or multifunctional even if only one
Ethernet connection is available.
The device is transparent in regard of the communication to the printer. The card reader will keep it´s
own IP address and port.
The Configuration of TCPConf is performed with the TCConfig tool provided with the device server.

Domains – User import
7.1.3.1
Here the synchronization options are configured.
OU filter
This allows you to import users only from specific OUs. Enter any
part of the distiguishedName of the OUs you will like to import.
This will also import users of any sub-OUs of the selected OUs.
Security group filter
This allows you to import users only from specific security groups.
Enter any part of the distiguishedName of the security groups you
will like to import.
MOPS allows to deal with filters containing only the relevant part of the OU/group name. e.g.
your domain structure contains sub-OUs "users" in each "branch"-OU like:
OU=users,OU=branch-north,DC=domain,DC=com
OU=users,OU=branch-south,DC=domain,DC=com
OU=users,OU=branch-west,DC=domain,DC=com
In this case you do not need to enter 3 filters but only
OU=users or
OU=users,OU=branch
to avoid to import users from the common OU "users"
Attention
Filtering for groups in additional (non-local) domains is not supported.
Ignore disabled AD accounts
If enabled, accounts that are disabled in the domain will not be
imported to the MOPS database.
Replace internal users
If enabled, internal users will be replaces by the domain users in
case of identical user names (Login name / samAccountName)
Delete unknown users
Domain users that are present in the MOPS database will be
removed if the corresponding account in Active Directory does not
exist anymore.

The devices menu contains all data and settings related to queues, NetCardReaders and the settings
for mobile printing and mobile release.
7.2.1
Queues
MOPS is designed to control queues in terms of accounting and security. Having the most control on
print jobs can be achieved in two ways:


Pull printing: print release after user authentication at the printer. Jobs are held in a virtual
queue
Direct printing: print to printers shared by the MOPS server. Printout is performed
immediately
This icon indicates a virtual queue in MOPS
Direct queues are indicated by this icon
7.2.1.1
Adding queues
MOPS can take control of the existing queues of your print server.
It is not necessary to create new queues within MOPS. If you like to
add queues to your server you can do this 'as usual' via Windows
printer management.
To add queues to the MOPS queue list click to [ + ] at the bottom of
the list of queues. Select the queues you want to add to the list, so
MOPS can take control.
Before confirming your selection choose the type of queue they shall
be.
Click [ add ] to confirm.

MOPS – mobile printing solution
OPERATOR MANUAL
7.2.1.2 Direct queue
A direct queue is used to control a 'standard' Windows print queue. The queue is shared to the users.
When printing to this queue
MOPS is pausing the job and checking the availability of the printer. If OK the job will be released to
the printer.
If the job can´t be printed you can
decide whether to delete the job or
move it to a virtual queue for a late
release.
If enabled the Notify user option will
send an email in case of the job has
been deleted or moved.
To receive an email alert, the users email address must be available in active directory or in
MOPS database for internal users and the SMTP/Email-settings must be set correctly.
[Show print jobs] will show a window
with all jobs that are currently queued in
this direct queue waiting for release.
Reasons for staying here might be a
printer fault or the printer being off.
You can delete the non-executable jobs
from this list by tagging and clicking to
Remove.

SNMP accounting
To achieve an accurate accounting of printed pages MOPS can check the counters via SNMP from
the device´s counter MIB.
If SNMP accounting is enabled MOPS automatically
determines the IP address of the printer. If, for any
reason, the IP address is not available a warning is
shown.
You can now enter the IP address manually by clicking to [ change ]. Now SNMP accounting can be
enabled.
By pressing [ show SNMP values ] you can check the current
counters read from the device MIB database.
In case the values do not match the real counters of the printer
the desired device may not be known by MOPS at current.
Therefore contact [email protected] to integrate the
printer.

7.2.1.4 Virtual queue
Virtual queues in MOPS are used to perform 'pull printing' or 'secure print release'. Being a regular
(shared) Windows queue, users can print to it as usual. But instead of forwarding the job to the
destination printer MOPS moves the jobs to an internal spooler and keeps the jobs until they are


released by a user, or
deleted due to a rule, by the user himself or by the administrator
The Auto-delete option will remove jobs that have not been released after the time defined by the
administrator.
The virtual queue view shows all jobs that are currently spooled.
Clicking to the job´s row will show it´s details.
The REFRESH option will update the list every 10 seconds if enabled.
Use FILTER to only show jobs of one or multiple user/s.
If you have selected one or multiple print job/s, the MODIFY option gets available. You can now
 move the selected jobs to another virtual queue
 change the user (job owner) for the selected print jobs
 delete the selected print jobs

7.2.3
NetCardReader
MOPS supports the usage of networked card readers (NetCardReader) to release print jobs from a
virtual queue to a direct queue.
A NetCardReader has no physical connection to the printer it is attached to. Therefore they need to be
'connected' logically. (see Configure TCPConv)
Click to [ADD] to add a new NetCardReader.
Enter it´s IP address and a description (e.g. the printer name it is
attached to).
Card reader profile:
Select a card reader profile if necessary.
Virtual queues:
Add one (or multiple) virtual queue to check for jobs of the user swiping his card.
Target queue:
Select a direct queue the jobs shall be sent to.
Important
Make sure the target device is compatible to the driver applied to the virtual queues.

MOPS allows users to send documents for printing via email from any (mobile) device. Most common
office file formats, images and PDF are supported.
An advanced print release App (iOS & Android) is available for print release via the user´s mobile
phone or tablet.
7.2.4.1
Mobile print release
Print jobs held in a virtual queue can be released to any direct queue by using the MOPS mobile App.
Similar to the NetCardReaders a device identifier or a QR-code are used to logically link the printer so
MOPS knows at which device the user currently is in front of.
Click to [ADD] to add a new Device identification.
Enter it´s IP address and a description (e.g. the printer name it is
attached to).
Virtual queues:
Add one (or multiple) virtual queue to check for jobs of the user is selecting this device identifier.
Target queue:
Select a direct queue or a Toshiba direct queue the jobs shall be sent to.
Attention
Make sure the target device is compatible to the driver selected for the virtual queues.

Anonymous printing
By default MOPS discards emails from unknown senders.
To allow emails from anonymous users being sent to this email account, MOPS offers two different
methods of handling emails from unknown senders.
Use a common user account
All emails from unknown senders will be assigned to a specific account.
If the jobs will be held in a virtual queue, print jobs from anonymous senders need to be assigned to a
user account for a later release.
It is recommended to create a specific account for anonymous guest prints. This allows to disclose it´s
login credentials / PIN to guests.
Of course any other user account can be selected as well.
