The Result
Since the installation of Monitor's print management solution
including the Konica Minolta embedded application, both staff and
student solutions have contributed to a reduction in paper waste
and cost for the University. The new solution provides a consistent
and user-friendly environment for both students and staff
alike.
Service administrators benefit from the reduction in time and
effort to reconcile the large amounts of small transactions created
by printing. With the report templates created for the University,
regular and exception reports are run promptly and without
difficulty.
With the introduction of Monitor Print as the staff solution,
the print policies that were in place have been enforced through
the use of Monitor Print's rule builder. By adding the print rules
to which the university users must adhere to, the university has
not only seen a reduction in cost but also reduced paper and toner
wastage.
