VendPrint Professional Brief
|
Targeted at libraries, colleges and universities that need to manage, control and automatically recover their printing costs. VendPrint Professional provides customers with a solution that enables them to monitor and automatically (through attendantless pay stations) charge for their patrons/students printing.
VendPrint Standard is a Windows based application that can be used to manage and control print queue(s) on a Windows 98, NT (workstation or server) or Windows 2000 (Pro or server) based computer system. VendPrint works in any environment including Windows, Novell, Unix and Linux. VendPrint intercepts the print jobs that are submitted by clients connected together through a LAN/WAN connection. Each user’s print job is spooled (spooling is inherent to all Windows, Mac and Unix clients, thus no client software is required) to a designated queue.
Thereafter the user, by accessing a VendPrint Release Station, can select his/her job to be printed and indicate to which printer the job will be printed. VendPrint Professional will calculate the cost of the job, allowing payment to be automatically collected by a number of means without intervention by an attendant. Payment means can include but are not limited to debit cards, cash, smart cards, account billing against a prepaid running balance, and account billing by statements.
As with all VendPrint products, a detailed log file is written reflecting all jobs that have been printed.
With VendPrint Professional you can:
· Notify users how many pages will be printed from the sending workstation, this is especially useful for Internet printing
· Allow patrons to rename and/or password protect their print jobs for greater security and privacy
· Automatically purge unclaimed print jobs from the VendPrint queue
· Justify offering color printing for public use by assuring that it will not be abused and payment will be received for its’ use
· Reduce you print volume by 40% or more by eliminating accidental and abusive printing
· Provide quick and easy override capability for staff
· Limit print job size on a printer by printer basis
· Automatically provide free printing when and where appropriate |
