  • Issue: Uniflow is not showing up as a “print destination”:
    • Check to see if Uniflow is running:
      • This is what it looks like on Windows devices. You may need to click the "⌄" button on your toolbar to see it.
  • This is what it looks like on Mac:

  • If you do not see the icon:
    • Verify that Uniflow is installed on the device
      • On Windows, click the Windows button and search for “Uniflow SmartClient”. On Mac, click the Launchpad icon in the bottom tray and search for “Uniflow SmartClient”.
        • If the client is present, click “Open” to launch the application. Follow any login prompts to authenticate. Verify that the icon now shows in the toolbar, and confirm that Uniflow now shows as an option when printing.

  • If you see the icon in the toolbar but you are still unable to see Uniflow as an option when printing, uninstall and reinstall the Uniflow client:
    • On Windows:
      • Go to Settings -> Apps -> Installed Apps, and scroll down until you see Uniflow and click the three dots to select “Uninstall”
      • Once uninstalled, go to the Company Portal and locate Uniflow. Tap on the app and select install. Wait for the installation to complete, then have the user log back in and test if they can print.
    • On Mac:
      • Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
      • Click "Applications" in the sidebar of the Finder window.
      • Click the app you want to remove.
      • Drag the app to the Trash icon in the Dock, or right-click the app and choose "Move to Trash," or select the app and press Command-Delete.
      • To permanently remove the app, empty the Trash by choosing Finder > Empty Trash from the menu bar.
      • Once uninstalled, go to the Manager app in your Launchpad.
      • Find Uniflow as an app and click install. Wait for the installation to complete, then have the user log back in and test if they can print.
