Overview of Serverless Pull Printing

Serverless pull printing is a function that enables execution of print jobs, which have been sent from the computer and stored in the MFP, by any MFP in a serverless pull printing group, which consists of multiple MFPs.

Installing the serverless pull printing function provides the following benefits.

  • The size of the remaining print jobs can be reduced, thereby reducing printing costs and enhancing security.

  • No print server is required, which reduces equipment costs and administrator load.

  • Print jobs stored in a target MFP can be executed from another MFP, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.

Serverless pull printing allows you to use the storage function to store print jobs and the client function to execute print jobs on all MFPs that make up a serverless pull printing group.
