Tricerat ScrewDrivers Installation

Product: Applied Cloud Services

Tricerat ScrewDrivers is a remote desktop print management solution that enables users to access all of their local printers. This document describes the procedure to install the ScrewDrivers print driver client software by Tricerat, Inc. and is intended for Applied Cloud users (excluding Applied Epic), and all Private Cloud customers.

Important considerations:

• The workstation on which Tricerat ScrewDrivers is being installed must be connected to the Internet.
• Following the installation Tricerat ScrewDrivers version 6.x, any future updates to the software are automatically updated to the Tricerat ScrewDrivers client. To determine what version of ScrewDrivers Client you are currently on, access the Tricerat ScrewDrivers Client Control Panel > About tab. Several files names and their shared version will display—the version listed here is your current ScrewDrivers Client version.
• Since Tricerat ScrewDrivers universal print driver allows printers available to the local workstation to be associated with the Applied Cloud environment, any printer that can be selected locally on the workstation for printing is also available when connected to the Applied Cloud environment. This does not, however, mean that your printer is compatible with your Applied product. For more information regarding supported printers for the Applied product, please consult the product compatibility requirements on the Applied Community under Product Information, select the Applied Product > Release Information > Product Documentation.

The Tricerat ScrewDrivers installation is automated; however, preparation for the download is necessary and configurations options can be implemented after installation.
