Support for Universal Print by Microsoft
Users1 can now print from anywhere with Universal Print2, the Microsoft cloud-based print solution, eliminating print servers and the need to install printer drivers.
Note 2：Only the Global Azure Cloud is supported by Universal Print. Sovereign Cloud is not supported.
What is Universal Print?
Customers with Enterprise Windows or Microsoft 365 subscriptions can now easy print to FUJIFILM printers using Universal Print, whether they are in the office, at home or on the go. People only need an internet connection and authenticate to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), to be able to print. The network traffic will be protected, using secure HTTPS protocol. There is no need to install the corresponding printer driver for the FUJIFILM printers on the user’s device for people to print to the nearest accessible printer right away.
- Print on Both Sides, Orientation, Color Printing Mode, Paper Size, Copy Count, Output quality, collation, Paper Source*, Media*, Output Bin*, Pages per sheet*, Stapling*, Document binding*, Hole-punching*, and Scaling* are configurable.
- Unlike the model-specific printer driver, there is no control to check if selected settings conflict each other. Therefore, an error message may appear or unexpected output may result if incompatible settings are specified.
- When paper feed direction is LEF, the location of stapling or hole-punching may result different from what you specified.

This problem does not occur with Windows 11.

This is because ‘tri-fold’ is unsupported as finishing.
- If 'stapling' is not possible at the position designated by stapling and orientation settings for paper selected by input tray setting, then the job will be cancelled with error code 016-722.
- If 'hole-punching' is not possible at the position designated by hole-punching and orientation settings for paper selected by input tray setting, then the job will be cancelled with error code 016-723.

Private printing is possible in the Universal Print environment
The printers from FUJIFILM Business Innovation support user authentication with Azure AD so people can use Universal Print to print safely without exposing your documents to other users. Documents are stored on the printer’s storage and are released by the user thanks to the ‘Private Print’ feature of FUJIFILM Universal Print ready printers.
This enables people to print easily in any place outside of the usual workplace or print to a printer at the destination after submitting a print job from their office in advance.
Printer administrators can centrally manage their organization's printers from the Universal Print portal, significantly reducing the effort involved in managing printers.
