How can we increase productivity of work with prints and copies? We would like to deal effectively with repeated tasks.
The efficiency of a print operation is defined by the time that users spend with printing. To increase efficiency, SafeQ provides a wide set of features, including repeated prints, favourite jobs, follow-me functionality, batch-job accounting and more. All unnecessary delays due to waiting for the multi-functional device have been eliminated.
We have many users. We would like to avoid opening user accounts manually at multi-functional devices and the server.
The SafeQ user subsystem can use either an internal database and/or can be connected to other existing user resources (such as ActiveDirectory, NDS or LDAP). Thanks to its modularity and flexibility, a new user module may be programmed efficiently to enable a connection to any other user resource (either system or database).
We have many printers and thus need central administration and accounting for all printers and copiers.
Central administration of SafeQ is powered by a web interface accessible anytime from the entire network. You can, under the administration account, manage all the settings of the print environment, e.g. printers, print queues, redirecting properties and access rights.
Can we account only the actually printed pages as well as based on toner coverage?
SafeQ enables the accounting of the exact number of actually printed pages (online print and copy accounting) as well as accounting based on toner coverage per page. By combining these two terms, we come to the term "accurate accounting", i.e. the provision of accurate accounting of every single pixel printed.
What information concerning printing can be monitored? We would like to receive regular reports by email. Is it possible?
The SafeQ print solution offers the monitoring of printed, copied and scanned pages and faxes, with details of single users, cost centres or machines. Outputs can be monitored on network printers, multi-functional devices and also local (table) printers and plotters.
How can we allocate costs for three departments that use the same multi-functional device?
SafeQ accounts printing and copying and takes care of the proper cost allocation accordingly. Therefore, there is no longer the need to record each cartridge and/or paper package provided to a user.
How can we make sure the print queue is printed only when the user is at the printer?
Secured printing, also called "postponed print" or "pull print", is a feature which allows you to actually print out your documents only when you authorise yourself with the SafeQ terminal at the printer. And more, your documents will be available at any compatible printer in the system.
The optimization of the entire printing environment requires a substantial investment. When can we expect a return on our investment?
To reduce costs of the print environment and to make possible the centralisation of a larger number of printers belong among the main reasons why companies and institutions procure print solutions. After SafeQ installation, companies and corporations achieve printing cost savings of 20 to 30 percent, and the return on investment into the whole print solution ranges from 0.8 to 1.1 years.
Ministries, municipal offices, district councils, and hospitals all belong to the government segment.
One of the key aspects here is the simplification of all operations in the context of printing and copying. It is not unusual to handle hundreds of small tasks which are often repeated. The most welcome feature is reprint and favourite jobs in the context of secured (Pull) printing. And not least of all, there is a huge concern for the security of all documents containing confidential data of the community.
The print environment is centralised on the level of a particular office. Therefore, the same configuration of printers and copiers is required, providing maximum comfort and making the work of public officials easier.
