Desktop Print automatically tracks all your printer, plotter and digital copier output without having to leave the programs you are working in. Desktop Print effectively monitors 100% of all printer activity, working either silently (in the background) or interactively with the user and the document environment. Desktop Print integrates with the office environment to ensure complete print management for client re-charge and internal management and analysis.
Track all your printers (or just some). Track all your applications (or just some). Track different prices for different printers with full colour detection for most colour/b&w printers.
Advanced features include:
Desktop Print key Features:
DOCUSYNC: Encourage users to print to MFP
Desktop Print and Copitrak combined can provide a feature called DocuSync. DocuSync will ensure that a print job to an MFP will never interrupt a copy job. Desktop Print checks to see if there is a user logged into the Copitrak terminal that is controlling the MFP copier. If there is a user logged in then Desktop Print will queue the print job. The print job will be released only when the user has logged out of the Copitrak and disabling the copier element of the MFP.
SECURE PRINT PLUS: Encourage users to print to the MFP
Desktop Print offers a feature called Secure Print Plus. This feature provides the user with the option to flag the output as a secure print job. The print job will not be released to the MFP until the user reaches the Copitrak, logs in and releases the print job while they are standing there.
AUTO-COLOUR DETECTION: Accurate billing – NEW
Desktop Print can automatically detect colour vs. Black and White to the page level. Therefore if a user prints a document containing a mixture of colour and Black and White pages, the client will only be billed the colour page rate for the colour pages printed. If the user prints the same document to a black and white printer, Desktop Print will only bill the black and white rate.
PRINT LIMITS: Discourage users from abusing network printer.
Desktop Print provides an option called “Print Limits” by which you can impose a size limit on any print jobs going to a particular printer (on any printer). If a print job exceeds the allowable limit, the print job will be cancelled and the user will be given a customizable message advising them of the limit and to direct the print job to a more suitable MFP for example.
JOB TICKET AND COPY CENTER SUBMISSION – NEW
The Desktop Print client offers a function called “Job Ticket”. There are several ways to invoke and use the job ticket and job submission systems of Desktop Print.
Desktop PRINT AND DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS?
If you currently use a Document Management system such as Filesite/Autonomy/Interwoven, Opentext, Worldox, or Prolaw, Desktop Print can automatically integrate the client/matter. This completely eliminates the need for users to enter the client and matter number. Tracking can happen completely behind the scenes.
How does Desktop Print work?
Utilizing the full Pop-up mode, Desktop Print can prompt users for user ID and/or account code information. When users send a print job to a device, a friendly pop-up dialog box will appear asking users for user ID/account code and other information should you choose.
If desired, Desktop Print can automatically pick-up the user information from the network login. Under this scenario the user would be prompted only for account information.
Once a valid account code has been entered, Desktop Print will automatically track the page count and apply the correct charges. Different pricing can be applied to different media types (colour/b&w), to different printers, and to different pages sizes. The Desktop Print pop-up (seen above) has many different fields, which can be activated to pick up different types of billing
information. The fields can be validated against a master table, prompted for and/or forced if desired so that users will not be able to print to the device until they enter a valid code.
If desired the speed dial pop-up can be made the default pop-up when users are prompted for account code information. The speed dial pop-up allows users to assign frequently used account codes to any of the convenient favorites buttons. This allows users to auto-insert the account code with one click of the favorites button on future tracked jobs.
Another helpful feature, account search/scan (seen below) allows users to search for account codes if they are unable to remember the number. Users can enter any part of the account number or an associated account name and the search tool will help them locate it.
Print Limits
Desktop Print has the ability to limit the amount of printing users can do to any selected device over a given period of time. The system administrator can set specific limits based on days/weeks/months and can select the amount of printing allowed for that period of time.
For example: If a specific user is limited to $100.00 per day in colour printing and the cost of colour printing is $1.00 per page the system administrator can set that users limit for the colour printer to 100 pages per day.
