Vasion Output
Last Updated: April 07, 2026
Vasion Output provides organizations the modern tools and automation necessary to ensure output from any system gets to where it needs to go, in the format it needs to be in. Vasion Output is licensed per print queue. With the Vasion platform, you can unify end user print and your large-scale applications or high-volume printing for centralized management.
Benefits
- Centralization of print management. Vasion Output unifies the management of front-end workstation printing with back-end, large-scale application printing.
- Stabilization of the print environment to ensure critical business processes are seamlessly supported and uninterrupted.
- Adaptability and flexibility to work with legacy mainframe and similar systems and ensure documents are delivered as expected.
How Vasion Output Works
We have three different ways that we can receive print jobs or documents from our customers.
- LPD service. LPD and LPR are the print protocols used.
- Via the API print service The API Service extends the capabilities of Vasion Output to web-based applications that aren’t natively equipped to communicate via typical print protocols. The API Service can connect to both cloud and on-premise applications..
- Via the IPP / IPPS protocol.
We first look inside of the print data that we've received to try to find a user that is matches a user in Virtual Appliance. Then we tie that print job to that particular user. Once that's done, the print job it is going to benefit from the user identification in the Virtual Appliance solution, ranging from secure release or reporting or any other similar features.
We then perform an analysis of the data to determine the attributes of the file, and then make a decision on what's going to happen to that file in the most basic sense. We can send a file directly to a printer and have it printed, or we could use secure release printing, which holds the print job until the user walks up and releases that job using a badge, QR code, or other supported release mechanism.
Vasion Output supports connections to SAP's on-premises and private cloud version editions.

Confirmed Delivery
Confirmed Delivery provides granular status monitoring of print jobs sent to a printer that supports the PJL USTATUS commands. It allows printers to communicate back to Vasion Output what's happening when a job is printed, and helps pinpoint precisely where printing stopped and identify potential issues, eliminating confusion and guesswork based on limited information from the printer.

Vasion Output is licensed per print queue. You’ll need additional licensing to access additional features like Secure Release and Off-Network Printing.
As a Vasion Output customer, you will already have a functional Service Client and printer configured. From there, you must secure a digital certificate issued by a reputable Certificate Authority (CA), recognized and trusted by the system or application you are connecting to the Output Service.
For additional information on the API Print Service prerequisites, visit our documentation.
The API Print Service runs on the Vasion Output Service on a Windows or Debian Linux server either on-premise or in your cloud instance. This allows the API Print Service to reach your source application and printers unless Off-Network Print is utilized. This back-end configuration is flexible to your environment’s requirements to function seamlessly with your existing systems and processes.
