Printer

The CloudBridge connects the local network with events from the Brand's Mill BPaaS Cloud. The CloudBridge is a local server that is informed by Brand's Mill as soon as tasks have been made available for processing. These tasks are e.g. Print jobs for the local network.

This is also the replacement of Google Cloud Print, which will be out of service from December 31, 2020.

When the CloudBridge server starts, the current IP and port of the CloudBridge are transmitted to Brand's Mill. If a printout is required, Brand's Mill's CloudBridge will be asked to accept it. The request is made via HTTP (brandsmill -> CloudBridge) and is then handled confidentially via an HTTPS connection (CloudBridge <=> Brand's Mill). This is secured via the WEB API Secure Token.

A printer can be assigned multiple relevant aliases for processing by the corresponding CloudBridge (selection via the employee).

The CloudBridge is assigned to a user. In this way, documents from Google Drive for the CloudBridge can be called up by this user. In addition, the correct CloudBridge is then informed about tasks.

The printer aliases result from the design of the workflow in the workflow design.

The ALIAS "Label" is reserved for the label printer.

If printers are set up, you can activate one as the preferred printer.
