Direct printing

Secure, driverless, and built for hybrid work.

Secure clientless printing, where you need it

Direct Secure Print integrates seamlessly with Canon imageFORCE and imageRUNNER ADVANCE (DX) devices, delivering robust security and simplified deployment for IT departments.

For organizations seeking flexible, network-wide printing, the Universal Output Queue offers a single, centralized print queue. Users can send jobs to any printer across the company network, eliminating the need to select a specific device for printing.

Direct Secure Print: Simplified security for every device

Direct Secure Print delivers secure My Print Anywhere functionality without requiring client software. Print jobs are sent directly to a designated Canon device and held securely until the user authenticates and releases the job.

Print jobs are sent directly to a designated Canon device and securely held until the user authenticates. The job metadata is transmitted to uniFLOW Online, allowing release from any supported device within the same location. Even during network disruptions, jobs remain safely stored, ensuring business continuity.

To prevent unauthorized access, Direct Secure Print automatically blocks direct IP print attempts. When paired with the uniFLOW SmartClient, authorized users retain full access to secure printing, ensuring compliance and control across the organization.

Key capabilities
  • Clientless printing: No need to install software on user devices.
  • Secure job release: Only authorized users can access their documents.
  • Unified print queue: View and release all jobs, including mobile, through a single interface.
  • Resilient infrastructure: Jobs remain stored on the device even during network disruptions.

Universal Output Queue: Driverless printing across your network

The Universal Output Queue, powered by the uniFLOW SmartClient, eliminates the need for device-specific drivers. Users print to a single, universal queue and release jobs from any printer, regardless of brand or location. This solution is ideal for environments where secure printing isn’t required, such as reception areas or multi-office setups.

IT teams can standardize workflows, reduce complexity, and extend the value of existing hardware investments without being locked into proprietary ecosystems.

Streamlined IT management with the uniFLOW SmartClient

Reduce IT workload with automatic device detection and silent installation via the uniFLOW SmartClient. Configure globally or per location, and apply user or group-based access controls to meet compliance needs.

Flexible printing for hybrid and multi-office environments
