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.
