Overview of unencrypted secure printing
Celiveo Pull Printing can secure the release of jobs sent by the SAP Output Management to a Celiveo 8 CSVP (Celiveo Shared Virtual Printer).
Requirement: the user sAMAccountName or email address need to be known by SAP and available as a variable in the SAP device type editor.
Modifying the device type
You need to modify the device type to interface SAP and Celiveo.
Please refer to your SAP Output Management technical guides on how to modify a device type.
The following document provides some information, but due to the various customization that exist we strongly recommend you ask your SAP Output Management IT service for support.
Editing the PJL encapsulation of print jobs in SAP
Adding commands in the job PJL header lines
You need to add two PJL lines in the print job header, in the device type, they will link the print job with the user who can release them with his PIN or card. (Carriage returns were inserted in the listing below only for the purpose of improved readability.)
@PJL SET USERNAME="$(USER)"\r\n
@PJL SET JOBNAME="$(SPOOLID)"\r\nThe $( ) are variables filled by SAP document generator, you can adapt them as needed.
$(USER) shall be a value present in an ActiveDirectory attribute (i.e. sAMAccountName or Mail) to be linked to the user PIN or card number.
$(SPOOLID) will pass the spool ID as the document name.
Activation of the device type
Once the device type is saved, activate it in the production environment and use it to produce documents.
To verify that the modification is active, print to a file on disk, open it with any text editor and verify its PJL header meets the requirement.
Configuring the share print queue to accept those print jobs
A CSVP print queue needs to be dedicated to the SAP print jobs, so that the metadata is read from the print jobs PJL header.
In the Celiveo Web Admin portal, select the specific print queue to be used and set the preprocessing filter to “ Use @ PJL SET < usename > < jobname > “
Deploy or update the Celiveo Shared Virtual Printer as applicable.
