Add Printers

Add a printer to enable Instant ID as a Service to print to the printer, manage the printer, and access Printer Dashboard.

Note: For additional information on Cloud-enabled printers supported by Instant ID as a Service, refer to Enable Cloud Printing for the supported printers list.

For additional information, refer to the How to Onboard a Printer - Instant IDaaS video tutorial.

  1. Click Main Menu menu button > Resources > Printers. The Printers List page appears.
  2. Click Add. The Add Printer dialog box appears.
  3. Enter the Printer Name.
  4. Enter the 16-digit Printer Device ID.
  5. Enter the printer Location.
  6. (Optional) Enable a self-signed certificate.  

      Note: Self-signed certificates may be needed when an Entrust Manufacturing Certificate Authority does not exist for a printer. In this case, existing certificates can be leveraged. The Cloud Ready utility can be used to obtain the self-signed certificates. Users are responsible for any certificates they provide to Entrust. Trust for the certificate is limited to a given tenant. If the printer is deleted from the tenant, the certificate trust for that self-signed certificate is also deleted.

    1. Click the Upload button.
  7. Click Add. The Printer is added to the Printers List page.

Note If a printer is duplicated by adding it more than once or by adding the same printer with a different name, an error message reading "Your printer is already registered" displays. In this case, both printer registrations must be deleted from existing tenants and the printer must be re-onboarded or re-registered one time by following the steps above.
