Presentation

Watchdoc Client for Android® allows a user with an Android® phone or tablet to launch a PDF print thanks to the Watchdoc Print API (proprietary protocol developed by Doxense allowing to manage prints).

 

Watchdoc Mobile Client for Android allows:

  • to secure the flow by encryption (Watchdoc https) ;

  • to transfer the authentication (Watchdoc) ;

  • to apply finishing options to the PDF file before printing ;

  • to route thePDF spool to the printing device (Watchdoc).

Principle

Watchdoc Mobile Client allows you to send PDF print jobs to a printing device via HTTPS.

 

All traffic passes through port 5753 (TLS/SSL).

 

Watchdoc Mobile Client relies on a Watchdoc server to search for available print queues.

 

Each time a user submits a print request, the port checks the availability of the print server before sending the job. If the server is unavailable, it asks the Watchdoc server to find a new available print server.

 

If the Watchdoc server is shut down, Watchdoc Mobile Client keeps the information about the print servers in cache to ensure continuity of printing.
