1.1 primos
Purpose primos is a mobile printing solution (print server) for printing content such as documents
and graphics from iOS devices (iPhone, iPad etc.). Print jobs that go through primos stay
in the network, they are processed locally and do not get transferred via the Internet or
cloud mechanisms. Up to 10 printers can be made available for iOS devices with primos.
primos has mainly been developed for professional business use (enterprise
environments).
Mode of
Operation
primos is connected to your network by cable. The iOS devices are connected to this
network via WLAN. Print jobs are sent from iOS apps with AirPrint™ support to primos via
your network. primos forwards the print job to wired or wireless printers with or without
AirPrint™ support for printing. In doing so primos is manufacturer-independent.
Figure 1: Topology
In addition, primos enhances AirPrint™with various features (Wide-Area AirPrint™,
directory services support and much more).
Requirements Network
Wired TCP/IP network (LAN) with wireless access point (WLAN).
Supported iOS devices
primos supports all iOS devices with AirPrint™ support. All iOS devices with iOS 4.2 or later
come with AirPrint™. The iOS devices are connected to the wired network via WLAN.
Supported printers
Network printers (wired or wireless) which support at least one of the following printing
protocols: IPP, IPP Secure, LPD or Socket Printing (JetDirect Printing).

1.6 Find IP address of primos
Why IP
Addresses?
An IP address is used to address network devices in an IP network. TCP/IP network
protocols require the storing of the IP address in primos so that the device can be
addressed within the network.
How Does primos
Obtain its IP
Address?
primos is shipped without IP address. After primos has been connected to the network, it
receives an IP address via DHCP. If this is not the case, primos seeks a ZeroConf IP address
from the ZeroConf address range (169.254.0.0/16).
You can change the IP address settings later on:
• ’How to Configure IPv4 Parameters’ 10
• ’How to Configure IPv6 Parameters’ 11
How Do I Find
the IP Address?
The primos IP address can be determined using the SEH primos App.
Requirements primos is connected to your network; see: 'Quick Installation Guide'.
1. Write down the hardware address of you primos. You can find the hardware address
in the type plate at the bottom of primos.
2. Download the SEH primos App for your operating system from the SEH Computer-
technik GmbH website.
http://www.seh-technology.com/services/downloads/download-mobility-solutions/
primos.html
3. Install the SEH primos App on your client.
4. Start the SEH primos App.
All primos devices found in the network are displayed.
5. Find your primos using the hardware address.
Note
The IP address can also be found via Bonjour. primos is advertised under the name
'primos@ICxxxxxx' (wherein ICxxxxxx is the default name 61). All devices with iOS and
OS X support Bonjour natively. On devices with other operating systems, such as
Windows, the Bonjour service must be installed manually.
