FAIRFIELD, N.J. – October 21, 2014 KYOCERA Document Solutions America, one of the world's leading document solutions companies, today announced the launch of Kyocera CentraQ Pro and CentraQ. The new business applications, developed by Kyocera, offer a variety of job release features that allow users to print documents more securely. In addition to secure job release, CentraQ Pro has additional monitoring and reporting capabilities that IT administrators can use to track print, copy, scan and fax usage by individual, device, or job code, which is ideal for cost recovery.

Both apps protect sensitive information with a Secure Job Release feature that requires user authentication at the Kyocera MFP or printer — thus minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to documents. The apps also minimize “bottlenecks” by freeing users to output files from any networked, CentraQ enabled Kyocera device.

“There are two key advantages to these powerful business apps,” says Danielle Wolowitz, senior director, product planning and product marketing for KYOCERA Document Solutions America. “CentraQ empowers users by letting them print and release their documents with confidence. CentraQ Pro provides administrators with valuable device data to help them optimize their printing environment, which includes cutting waste and costs.”

CentraQ and CentraQ Pro bring a range of benefits to any business. The applications:

 

  • Allow users to release print jobs from any Kyocera device on the network;
  • Protect confidential documents;
  • Integrate with HID card readers and smart phones with QR code readers for secure job release;
  • Restrict costly functions such as color printing (CentraQ Pro);
  • Help track employee usage, device usage, and job ID codes with simplified reporting capabilities (CentraQ Pro).

Pricing and Availability
Single device license MSRP is $362 for CentraQ Pro and $277 for CentraQ. CentraQ Pro and CentraQ are available through authorized KYOCERA dealers. To find a dealer, visit Kyocera’s dealer locator at www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.com/us.

Kyocera is the OEM.  This is more cost effective than 3rd party solutions because of the licensing is one time on the machine with unlimited users with no additional upgrades or support costs.  This would be a simplified version of some of the things PaperCut can do as far as cost tracking and limiting users to specific jobs.  

 

This also allows for access to print jobs by swiping a QR code on the device with your smart phone.  As I understand it you only need to put a pin # in once and then it remembers your phone or tablet as long as it is already tied into the network.  No more need for HID cards or entering pin numbers each time to release print jobs. You simply scan the QR and the print que comes up on your phone/tablet and then you release the job from there.
