How much are you spending, and who's printing what?
With the enormous volume of printing and copying in today's business environment it is easy to lose track of what is being produced. Too often an organisation doesn't know how much it is really spending, and when it comes to justifying the move to departmental Multi-Function devices, not enough information is to hand to overcome those intent on retaining their 'personal' printers.
Accurate monitoring and analysis of network printer- and copier-related activities will help improve your device utilisation.
Rule Based Printing. Rule based printing lets you assess your present print structure and manage your printing efficiently. Using applications like JetAdvice, FollowMe or SafeCom, you can specify selected print parameters which are executed on the server and/or printer.
With over 20 years experience, we can identify and implement the perfect print auditing and control package for your organisation. Contact us for a consultation and put our expertise to work.
Solution Summaries
CHAI Accounting Lite
CHAI Accounting Lite captures print job and consumables data on the printer to provide accurate and comprehensive information to track and allocate printing costs.
CHAI Accounting Lite collects data for each document: document name, user name, PC ID, number of processed and printed monochrome and colour pages, date and time, paper format, toner coverage (Colour LaserJets per cartridge), and total costs of the document (including toner and paper costs).
As it suggests, prints are pulled to the printer where you are standing. Ideal for open plan offices or large businesses where you want to retrieve your job confidentially, when you need it.
Additional printing options available to control printing and eliminate cost.
JetAdvice adds advanced Rule Based Printing (patent pending) to centrally manage the access to printing functionality. This makes it possible to minimise misuse and implement best practices
deduced from the tracking information.
JetAdvice is a client-server application. The JetAdvice client can run as an
application on any HP LaserJet printer with Chai version 5.0 or later. It logs print jobs as the printer processes them and sends the relevant data to the JetAdvice server. This can include information such as user identification, originating application, use of colour or double-sided printing, and so on.
