Basic Information
The MyQ X Mobile Client application is a multifunctional tool for simple and
touchless task management within the MyQ solution printing environment. It
assists you anytime and anywhere you need to print or manage your print jobs
and provides you with simple access to a variety of MyQ features. Printing
options are managed before printing as well. It also supports biometrics.
With the mobile app, you can perform the following operations:

- Securely release your print jobs on a selected printing device.
- Manage print jobs, re-print already printed jobs, and select projects.
- View and recharge MyQ credit.
- View quotas.
- Unlock printing devices by scanning a QR code.
- Register and set up a MyQ server via scanning a QR code.
- Edit your profile and generate a new PIN.
The MyQ X Mobile Client application uses the following ports to communicate with the MyQ Print server:
-
TCP 8632 (by default)
AirPrint/MOPRIA protocol for print job transmission to the MyQ server -
TCP 8090 (by default)
HTTP protocol for accessing the MyQ web interface.
For more details, see the main communication ports in the MyQ Print Server
guide.
A MyQ Server 8.2+ is required.
Your embedded terminals version has to be compatible with MyQ Server 8.2+.
In order for a queue to be available in the MyQ X Mobile Client application,
log in to the MyQ web administrator interface, go to MyQ, Queues, select the
queue and click Edit (or right-click, Edit, or double-click), go to the Job
receiving tab, and in the Jobs via mobile devices section, mark the Enable
checkbox, and click Save.
Only the Job sender user detection method can be used with this queue.
Installation and setup
3.1 Installation
The MyQ X Mobile Client application can be installed directly from Google Play
(Android and ChromeOS), or App Store (iOS). It is free and does not require
any license.
The app requires Android version 5.0+, or iOS version 11.0+.
3.2 Connecting and logging on to a MyQ server
The first time you open the application, you need to connect it to a MyQ
server.
Usually, it is your company’s MyQ server or your branch’s MyQ server.
The app is also available in Dark mode, which can be set in your phone settings.
Once the connection to the server is initiated, you are asked to enter your
MyQ credentials to log in to the server. After logging in, you stay logged in
until you log out from the server. Each time you open the application, you are
automatically redirected to the home screen of the application, where you can
access its features.
After you log out from a server, the next time you log in, you can either
connect to a new server, or you can select one of the previously used servers.
The easiest way to connect to the server is to scan a QR code that you can
find on any of your company’s printing devices. Usually, it is either printed
on a sticker near the printing device panel or directly displayed on the
panel. It can also be accessed on the Web UI. In case you cannot use these
options, you can ask your administrator for all the necessary information and
manually connect to the server.
Connecting to a server
You can choose to connect to a server via SCAN QR CODE or Enter Manually.
If you scan the QR code from the printing device, the application uses the
information from the QR code to automatically set the IP address and other
security settings.
If you choose to manually enter the required server information, add a Server
name, type the MyQ server’s IP address or hostname and port, and tap ADD
SERVER.
In both cases, you then get a prompt asking you to turn the safe mode on
(required), which uses certificate verification against the server for a
secure connection. Tap TURN ON to enable it:
As soon as the safe mode is enabled, there is another prompt asking you to add the certificate to the trusted certificates. Tap ADD. The login screen opens and you can log in.
If the Invalid SSL certificate message appears, no trusted SSL certificate was
found. In such cases, contact your network administrator.
3.3 Logging into the MyQ server
To log in to the MyQ server, type your MyQ credentials, and then tap login.
The app saves the connection settings for previously used servers. If you want
to select one of the previously used servers, tap SELECT FROM SAVED SERVERS.
The Select a server screen opens. On the screen, tap on the server where you
want to connect. The login screen opens and you can log in.
Using the mobile app
All features of the MyQ X Mobile Client application can be accessed either
directly from the app’s Home screen, or from the navigation bar. In addition,
the app enables you to directly print from other mobile apps and from mobile
Web browsers.
Home screen
On the Home screen, you can see the state of your credit (displayed only if
credit accounting is activated on the MyQ server), and all your ready jobs.
You can also recharge credit, add new jobs, and print the ready jobs. Quota is
also visible if activated on the MyQ server.

job, you can specify the number of copies, choose between monochrome (B&W) or
color printing, and Simplex or Duplex. If project accounting is enabled on the
MyQ Server, you can assign a project to the job.
You can also tap the + plus icon at the top, to add a new job (from your
device’s folders or cloud storage) to the list.
You can then specify the number of copies, choose between monochrome (B&W) or color printing, and Simplex or Duplex. If project accounting is enabled on the MyQ Server, you can assign a project to the job. You can also specify the job’s queue:
- Direct type – the job is immediately printed to the printer assigned to the queue.
- Pull Print type – you are asked to scan the QR code of the printer where you want the job to be printed (Pull Print queues require MyQ embedded terminals or a MyQ TerminalPro (hardware)).
If you select SAVE JOB, the job is saved for printing at a later time.
4.3 Log in via QR code
The Log in shortcut in the center of the navigation bar takes you to the Scan
QR code screen. There, you can unlock a printing device by scanning the QR
code displayed on the device’s panel.
Point your phone towards the QR code as if you wanted to take a picture of it.
Make sure that the QR Code is inside the square displayed in the middle of the
screen. The application automatically scans the code and unlocks the device.

information related to your account.
In the Account section, you can change the email address and password related to your account by tapping the edit icon next to it.

can either enter the new server’s information manually (add a Server name, the
IP Address, and Port) and tap ADD SERVER, or you can tap SCAN QR CODE.
4.6 Print via MyQ X
You can print directly from mobile apps and from mobile Web browsers. To do
so, select to share the file (picture, Web page, etc.) via the Print via MyQ X
sharing option.
The print job management dialog box appears, where you can change the print
