Install SLNX Mac Client

SLNX Mac Client can be installed on Mac computers either manually or silently. 

• Install Mac Client Silently

• Install Mac Client Manually

The diagram below depicts the authentication workflow required between the Mac Client, the Delegation Server, and the MFP/output device.

Mac Client Operating Environment

Before installing SLNX Mac Client on Mac computers, confirm that the following requirements have been met.

Item	Requirements
Hardware	Any Apple supported hardware 100MB of free space is required to hold the queued jobs.
Operating system	macOS 13.0, 14.0, 15.0
SSL Requirement	TLS 1.1 or later is supported

To perform Client Secure Print using the SLNX Mac Client, the Printer driver that supports the function is required.

Mac Client Registration with the Delegation Server

Mac Client will attempt to register with the Delegation Server the first time the user prints. If the registration is unsuccessful after a randomized amount of time (between 1 minute to 10 minutes), the user will be unable to print via Mac Client. In this case, the Administrator must double-check all settings to confirm correct connection, certificate and licensing details. Once successful, the Client re-registers itself with the Delegation Server every 24 hours.

Limitations

Although a pop-up does not appear on the Mac Client when the user prints, print jobs are queued and held in a secure queue for release at a physical device.

If installing the Mac Client, note the following limitations that differ from the PC Client: 

• The Mac Client does not support rule-based printing, Dynamic Delegation Print, or Cost Center selection.

• Devices attached to the Mac via USB are not supported.

• Print costs at the MFP are estimated based on the job details including print rules that would apply. The Mac Client does not support applying print rules, but the MFP will still calculate the cost estimates as if print rules would apply.
