Printing from a Windows workstation or server using SafeQ Command Line Client

Overview

SafeQ Command Line Client is a utility that enables the delivery of print jobs (files) to the YSoft SafeQ server by means of a command line. It is similar to the LPR utility, but provides extra features specific to YSoft SafeQ.

This utility enables integration of third-party products with YSoft SafeQ.

Usage

  • SafeQ Command Line Client can be executed directly from unpacked installation package without any installation.

  • Parameters specified on the command line have the following syntax:
    SafeQERun [-<parameter>=<value>] [-SQ<parameter:value>] <job file>

  • All parameters described in SafeQ Client configuration options are supported except those that require user interaction during printing. If a particular parameter is not specified, its default value is used. You can also use one of following parameters with the prefix "SQ" which are passed to the YSoft SafeQ server as extra headers without any checking:
    -SQFinishing-Duplex:{ShortEdge, LongEdge, None} -SQFinishing-BW:{true, false} -SQFinishing-Copies:3

  • Example that sends job file document.pdf under the title Annual report to a YSoft SafeQ server that has the IP address 192.168.1.78 under the identity of a user that has the username smithj
    SafeQERun -ServerIP=192.168.1.78 -JobTitle="Annual report" -AuthType=3 -AuthText=smithj -SQFinishing-Duplex:LongEdge -SQFinishing-BW:true -SQFinishing-Copies:2 document.pdf
