Print Audit and the Environment
Printing impacts on the environment. Print Auditing can help your business to reduce its carbon footprint by reducing usage of consumables, electricity used in running equipment, and your overall impact on the planet.
Follow-Me Printing and proximity cards – tracking the print
In addition to print auditing, you can implement the Follow-Me printing solution. This invaluable option lets you keep a detailed track of your printing. In an open plan office it can be a sensitive subject – how to prevent unauthorised access to confidential documents. This problem can be even greater if the printer is located in a different area.
Issuing staff members with proximity cards lets you total up the usage of printers (and other devices) and make sure that printed documents end up in the right hands. Documents can only be printed under the proximity system when the correct recipient is within a defined range of the designated printer. Proximity cards can also bring additional benefits:
- Creating usage restrictions for specific machines, thus barring some users from high costs units like inkjets
- Putting a ceiling on specific expenditure by defining credits
- Breaking down costs by individuals or departments
- Proximity cards can also be used for time and attendance monitoring – making them a useful multifunctional addition to your business!
