4. Can EliteID be hosted on our system?

EliteID is exclusively offered as a cloud-based solution. It operates on remote servers and leverages specific Amazon Web Services (AWS) capabilities that are not replicable in a local environment. As a result, on-premises hosting is not an option for EliteID.

5. How do I disable or pause printing?

There are two ways to pause or disable printing:

Method 1: Pause Printing via Windows Settings

1. Navigate to: Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Devices > More devices and printer settings

2. Double-click the printer to open the print queue

3. Select Printer > Pause Printing

Note: While paused, prints from EliteID will appear in the queue but won't be printed until you unpause. You can delete pending prints if needed.

Method 2: Power Off the Printer

1. Hold down the printer's power button until it shuts off

Note: If you continue printing from EliteID while the printer is off, jobs will be sent to the printer spooler and will start printing when the printer comes back online. You can delete pending prints if needed.
