Signing In
When the application is first launched, it displays the Sign In screen, which is used to log in to the YSoft SAFEQ Cloud solution. To continue logging into YSoft SafeQ 6 (Client v3), you must click the Alternate Login button.
On the Alternate Login screen, there are four input fields to complete:
- Identity provider URL – If a custom OIDC identity provider is deployed, provide the custom identity provider’s URL. For a default deployment use the address and port of Job Service, e.g. Job Service is deployed on a machine with hostname “example.com”, then the value is “https://example.com:5000/”.
- API endpoint – Use the address and https port of Spooler, e.g. “https://example.com:5002”.
- Client ID – Use the ClientId value specified in the identity provider. For a default deployment using Job Service as an identity provider, use ClientId of Additional Clients located in Job Service’s local.json configuration file. The default value is “mobile-application”.
- Client Secret – Optional value of the API Key that authenticates the app.
It is possible to allow communication that is not secured by TLS by using the toggle button.
Job List
After a successful login, you will see all of your documents.
Submission of the Print Job
You can submit new documents by tapping the plus button located at the bottom of the Job List screen. A standard system file chooser is opened. From there, you can choose one or more files for submission. If any of the chosen files are password-protected, a dialog will appear prompting you to enter the password. You have the option to skip those files you do not wish to unlock.
Once you have selected the desired files or entered passwords where necessary, the finishing options window is opened. Here, you can customize settings such as the number of copies, color preferences, page size, page orientation, and double-sided printing. Furthermore, users have the opportunity to select advanced finishing options.
After configuring your preferences, press the send button, and the job will begin uploading.
Another option is to submit the document by selecting YSoft SAFEQ from the share extension in the iOS share menu. This can be done from any app that supports printing.
Deletion of the Print Job
Swipe left on the print job to delete submitted documents.
How to Print Unsupported File Formats
If the printable document is not in supported format, you can use the standard system print dialog and share the output into the YSoft SafeQ 6 (Client v3) mobile app instead of selecting the AirPrint printer. This can be done in any app that supports system print.
iOS 16 or higher
Open the system print dialog and utilize the system print finishing options. Then tap on the Share icon.
To submit the print job, continue as described in the Submission of the print job section above.
iOS 15 or lower
Open the system print dialog and pinch to zoom with two fingers on the preview of the document. This will open the preview of the document in PDF format. On this preview, tap on the Share button and continue as described in the Submission of the print job section.
Print the web page from Safari
If you want to print a webpage from the Safari app go to the iOS share menu, tap on Options next to the header of the share menu, and make sure that the PDF option is selected so that the YSoft SAFEQ share extension is visible in the share menu.
