Using Cloud Print Management with third‑party printers

You can use Cloud Print Management with printers that do not support eSF applications, including Lexmark printers that are not solutions‑enabled and printers from third-party manufacturers.

Cloud Print Management is enabled on these printers by using the ELATEC TCP3 adapter, a device that connects between the customer’s network and the printer. It also provides a USB connection for badge or card readers. The TCP3 adapter handles all user badge or card authentication and passes the user’s print jobs from Lexmark’s Cloud Print Management service to the printer. For more information, including limitations on using the ELATEC TCP3 adapter, see Printing jobs from third‑party printers using Cloud Print Management.

Note:  The Elatec TCP3 Adapter receives power either from an external 5Volt power source or from an Ethernet connection that supports power over ethernet. See the Technical Manual provided with the Elatec TCP3 for more details.
