Network Print Audit is a tool which provides organisations with the ability to analyse print costs, delivering accurate information on the true cost of printing. Network Print Audit not only ensures better management of an existing printing environment but also enables better planning of future printing strategy, helping organisations make more informed decisions: -
• How much does printing cost?
• What is the current utilisation of the printers?
• Would it be more cost effective to replace existing printers with new devices with a more appropriate specification?
Account managers can now get accurate detailed reports of the cost of printing and copying by department and user and can use this information to help them budget for office costs or bill individual departments or users.
Print administrators now have the ability to control or restrict the number of prints and copies that can be made. This allows the administrator full control over all colour devices on the network.
PAS can be used to invoice customers or can be used as a pre pay system. PAS can account for separate colour and black and white printing/copying as well as different paper sizes.
This flexible print account software allows organisations to manage the cost of printing and copying. PAS administrators can track printer and copier usage by department or user and can generate up to 72 detailed predefined reports for both colour and black and white printing and copying. This information can then be used to track costs and invoice departments or users.
Additional functionality includes the ability to control the amount of printing and copying that a department or user can do, giving total control of the print and copying environment.
