Printer's Plan Implementation Series - Session 1: System Overview - Part 1: Connecting to the Program Follow

Overview

Printer's Plan can be accessed in two ways:

1. Web Client (Browser-Based Access) – Fastest and easiest setup
2. RemoteApp (Desktop-Like Experience) – Requires additional setup but behaves more like a locally installed program

This guide walks through both options step by step.

Option 1: Connecting via the Web Client (Recommended for First-Time Access)

Step 1: Open the Web Client

1. Open your preferred web browser.

2. Enter the following address in the address bar:

   https://printersplan.printreach.com
   

3. The URL will automatically redirect to the web client sign-in page.

Step 2: Sign In

1. Use your provided credentials.

2. Your username format will be:

   plan\yourusername
   

   ✅ Be sure to use the backslash (\) — not the forward slash (/).

3. Enter your password and sign in.

Step 3: Understanding the Web Client Screen

After signing in, you’ll see available resources. Most users will see:

• Explorer Folder
• Printer's Plan (PP icon)

In the upper-right corner, you’ll also see your user account menu, which allows you to:

• Sign out of the web client
• Change your password

If your password is lost or changed accidentally, email support@printreach.com for a reset.

Step 4: Launching Printer's Plan

1. Click the PP (Printer's Plan) icon.
2. You may see a prompt allowing you to save credentials—this is optional.
3. Once launched, you can:
   • Maximize the window inside the browser
   • Enter full-screen mode
   • Exit or close Printer's Plan at any time

Signing Out

You can:

• Close Printer's Plan only (leaves the Web Client open), or
• Fully sign out using your user account menu in the upper-right corner

Option 2: Connecting via RemoteApp (Desktop Experience)

RemoteApp behaves more like a traditional Windows program and allows you to launch Printer's Plan directly from your taskbar.

Step 1: Open RemoteApp and Desktop Connections

1. Use the Windows search bar.

2. Type:

   RemoteApp
   

3. Select RemoteApp and Desktop Connections.

Step 2: Add the Printer's Plan Connection

1. In the setup screen, enter the following URL exactly:

   https://printersplan.printreach.com/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx
   

2. Click Next.

Step 3: Enter Credentials

1. Username format:

   plan\yourusername
   

2. Enter your password.
3. Select Remember Me (recommended).
4. Continue through the prompts until setup is complete.

You should see a confirmation that the connection was successfully created.

Step 4: Create Taskbar Shortcuts

1. Click View Resources.
2. You’ll see:
   • Explorer Folder
   • Printer's Plan (PP)
3. Drag each item to your taskbar to create shortcuts.

This allows you to:

• Launch Printer's Plan directly
• Open the cloud file environment without signing in each time

Using Printer's Plan After Setup

Once connected (via either method):

• Printer's Plan functions the same
• All orders, data, and workflows are available
• You can switch between Web Client and RemoteApp at any time

Accessing the Cloud File Environment

The Explorer Folder shortcut opens your Printer's Plan cloud folder, which includes:

• Email Templates
• Plan Data Files
• Logo Files
  • Logo Email (BMP)
  • Logo Print (BMP)

These files can be edited and maintained directly from this folder.

Troubleshooting & Tips

• If login issues occur in RemoteApp, removing and recreating the connection might resolve them.
• First-time RemoteApp connections may take slightly longer.
• Always use the backslash (\) in your username.
• Password issues? Email support@printreach.com for immediate assistance.
