Printer Synchronization List
Last Updated: March 17, 2026
The Printer Synchronization List API pulls a list of your Vasion printers, which allows customers to populate the list into their applications rather than manually adding or importing them.
Key Points
- This schema supports the API Print Service. For API Cloud Link schemas, go to API Cloud Link Schemas.

Troubleshooting Help
In some setups, external applications may need to reach the Vasion OutputService Client using a DNS name that resolves to an external IP address. However, this can cause issues the following issues:
- The Service Client cannot resolve the DNS name to its internal IP address.
- External DNS resolution conflicts with internal requirements.
Check if the Service Client can resolve the DNS name to its internal IP address. If the DNS name doesn't resolve correctly, you may need to modify the hosts file. See Troubleshoot DNS Resolution for Output Automation-Service Client
Ensure that the DNS name in the UI matches the one in the certificate used by the Service Client.

Yes, Vasion Output easily connects your systems with Vasion to route and deliver documents to your desired destinations while offering you more granular control and visibility.
It seamlessly connects with ERP/EMR/CRM systems and other business-critical applications, enhancing your current document management without needing a complete overhaul. The API Service also supports on-prem and cloud-based systems, expanding your integration capabilities with ease and flexibility.
The Output Console offers complete control and oversight over your printing and document environment. This unified interface offers the ability to view printers, filter and sort print jobs, track processed jobs, redirect failed print jobs, and cancel or reprint past jobs. With robust reporting capabilities, you gain enhanced insights into queue statuses and printer performance, ensuring efficient, transparent print operations. Reduce downtime by quickly identifying and troubleshooting issues to protect your critical business processes.
Vasion Output provides robust security features that protect sensitive documents during transmission and storage, ensuring that only authorized users can access critical information. It includes:
- Detailed Audit Trails: Track document access and delivery for compliance and security audits.
- Zero Trust Remote Printing: Enable secure print jobs from remote facilities without costly VPNs.
- Information Security: Document and print jobs are stored locally and encrypted when at rest on our services.
Vasion’s Secure Release Print capabilities ensure that print jobs are only accessible to authorized users. Users must authenticate at the printer before releasing their documents, whether by badge swipe, entering credentials at the CPA, or scanning a QR code—preventing sensitive documents from falling into the wrong hands.
Additionally, Vasion’s SaaS platform is ISO27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2-certified to mitigate risks to customer data and help manufacturing organizations better meet their business, legal, and regulatory requirements.
Vasion Output is easy to implement. Tools like Network Scanner, the Data Manager, and Quick Config tool help you migrate queues and apply settings in bulk. You can also configure zones to route jobs by region and use the Output Console for real-time monitoring, job health, and automatic redirection.
Vasion Output is licensed per print queue. You’ll need additional licensing to access additional features like Secure Release and Off-Network Printing.
The API Print Service can send documents to the printer via LPR and RAW protocols.
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.

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.
The API Print Service accepts and processes print jobs concurrently for improved scalability and speed. Documents sent to the same printer will be printed in sequential order.
The Service’s maximum capacity depends on the hardware it is running on and network connection speeds. If capacity is reached, additional service clients can be utilized with a load balancer to distribute traffic to a highly available partner service client.
Vasion Output was built to scale with high volumes of input in mind and has been shown to process high volumes of documents in less than a second. Various factors, like job size, sequential printing, and hardware capacity, can affect print job speed.
Your documents sent to the API Print Service pass within a Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel to the HTTPS server. Files are also encrypted, while at rest, by the Service after receiving them.
If the API Print Service prints directly to printers on its network, standard LPR or RAW printing may be used, which will not encrypt print files between the Service and printer.
For unsecured or public networks between the Service and your printers, we recommend leveraging Off-Network Print to route documents from your system through a Vasion-hosted gateway in the cloud. The Internal Routing Service, hosted on a Service Client, opens a communication line to receive and download files to the printer. All print traffic is encrypted during this process.
Vasion Output is supported in both the Vasion Print and Virtual Appliance platforms. Vasion Print offers the most flexibility in terms of Vasion’s available configuration options.
For print jobs from Epic or our API Service, the Batch Printing functionality lets you collect batches of documents and print them in a specific order every time, ensuring complex processes remain standardized and efficient.
