Sharp Print Service Plugin FAQ's

General FAQs

This pop-up message is always displayed when you activate the plugin that supports the Android™ printing framework. Your print job will not pass through any servers, but will be sent directly to the Sharp printer you select if you use Sharp Print Service Plugin.

The printer must be connected to the same network segment that your mobile device is connected.
If the printer and your mobile device are connected to different network segments, you may be able to use it by manually adding it to Sharp Print Service Plugin.

  1. Open [Settings]-[Print] on your mobile device
  2. Tap [Sharp Print Service Plugin]
  3. Open [Add printer]
  4. Enter IP address or hostname of the printer.

The application may not support the Android™ printing framework.

A Sharp printer can print up to 999 copies by specification, even though the Android ™ printing framework allows you to specify over 1000.

Since the print parameter setting dialog is controlled by the Android ™ printing framework, Sharp Print Service Plugin is not able to deny any invalid combination of print parameters for Sharp printers (e.g. Duplex printing on A3 wide paper). The actual print processing will depend on a selected printer.

Some combinations of a source application and an Android ™ version of your mobile device might not send the correct page range specification for the job. Update the application or the Android OS frequently.
