Before you start printing documents, you must configure the Novell iPrint app either by specifying the iPrint Mobile Server address or by scanning the QR code of the printer. Before you begin, ensure that you have been provided with a valid User ID and password by your administrator as you will be required to enter your credentials during the configuration process.
Launch the Novell iPrint app.
Specify the iPrint Mobile Server address or scan the QR code of a printer, then tap Configure.
Specify the User ID and Password, then tap OK.
To save the password, turn on Save Password.

To print the document by scanning the QR code, select Scan using QR Code.
If no printers are listed in the Favorite Printers page, or if you want to choose a different printer, tap the more icon in the upper-right corner of the screen, then choose a printer from the list of available printers.
Set your print preference for the following options:
Color: Enables or disables color printing.
Double-Sided Printing: Enables or disables printing on both sides of the paper.
Orientation: Prints in Portrait or Landscape mode.
Copies: Sets the number of copies to print.

If you are not connected to the Internet when printing, and if email printing is enabled by the administrator, Novell iPrint prompts you to switch to email printing. The email client of your device is displayed, with the content populated, and the document attached. Tap Send. The email is saved in your email client’s outbox. After you connect to the Internet, the email is automatically sent, and the document is printed.
NOTE:If you print to a secure printer without saving the password, the specified password is still saved for the entire duration of the app’s session. You are not prompted for a password when printing to a secure printer again during that session.
