YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal Overview

The YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal is a complementary solution for a mobile workforce or for devices that do not support embedded terminals. It is also a cost-effective solution to enable YSoft SafeQ 6 features on smaller printers or MFDs.

The primary use case for YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal is network printers that do not support YSoft SafeQ Embedded Terminal and external terminals are too expensive for them. In YSoft SafeQ 5, these devices were used either as direct printers or with Terminal Ultralight if Print Roaming was required. YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal enables Print Roaming at these kinds of printers similarly to the way Terminal Ultralight does. However, the user interface of YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal leaves Terminal Ultralight far behind in terms of features and usability.

Another use case is to use YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal with the MFDs that already have YSoft SafeQ Embedded Terminal installed. Customers with such MFDs can use YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal to leverage users’ mobile devices to provide an alternative means of Print Roaming and to deliver the same user experience at all devices in a multi-vendor fleet.

Features-wise, YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal provides a convenient way to release and manage print jobs. It supports user authentication, a prerequisite for Print Roaming, and print job management. MFD-related features are not supported. YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal has no direct link with a device so it cannot control copies and scans. Also, note that YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal is designed and licensed as a terminal. Currently, it is not designed to submit mobile print jobs. Printing from mobile devices can be enabled using the Mobile Print module of YSoft SafeQ 6.

YSoft SafeQ Mobile Terminal is available for iOS, Android and Windows 10 Mobile operating systems.
