Monitor Print enforces rules flexibly to manage and charge printing.
The software reviews
each print job according to criteria -
Enforce rules or pricing to encourage efficiency
Monitor Print takes a range of actions determined by print
policies - such as automatically re-routing the job to a more
efficient printer.
Users can be informed by a pop-up on their
PC if their job is re-routed or deleted because of print
restrictions.
They can also be notified of the print job
details prior to print - such as page count, colour or black and
white and duplex or simplex.
The cost of the job is displayed and they
are asked to confirm they really want what they requested.
Organisations have full and accurate insight about the cost of
printing and the use of devices.
Easy to set and administer from one console
Monitor Print is highly scalable and is easy
to install and operate in a multi server environment.
It doesn't need Windows or network permissions, so jobs can
simply be sent to different printer
servers.
All print queues for servers are on one console for easy
administration, deletion, and moving of jobs between print queues.
There is one user interface - so easy configuration, user
management and queue management.
Our off-line
support can keep printing and tracking, even if access to
transaction management data is offline, or can hold
jobs.
Track quota - for budgeting or free print for
students
Monitor Print can assigns user quota
and then limit quota spend to black and white printing.
Accurate data is collected for each document - accurate charging.
Tracks each impression, each sheet and its details
(colour or black and white) for transparent charging.
When there's insufficient funds in an
account, students are able to use a web application, My Monitor, to
transfer credit into the account. A university can choose to
allow students or staff to go into negative balance for
printing.
