Print Director enables customers to analyze, understand and ultimately save on the costs associated with printing and photocopying. This solution can be implemented to silently monitor printing activity, limit the number of prints and copies a user can make, as well as enforce “rules-based” printing methodologies to reduce Total Cost of Ownership. Print Director is designed to help drive total document volume (TDV) growth strategies that result in an increase of your revenue.
Product Offerings
The Print Director software consists of three core modules: Analysis, Reduction and Recovery. Each module provides distinct features and capabilities that fulfill the requirements of both small and enterprise customers.
Analysis Module
The Analysis module reports on printer inventory, device volumes, budgets, cost baselines and printing workflow issues on the network. This utility provides details about who is printing, volume that is being printed, along with identifying equipment inefficiencies and bottlenecks.
Reduction Module
The Reduction module handles re-direction of print jobs to the most efficient printing devices and manages printer usage. Administrators can implement a variety of print rules including: printer limits with customizable pop-up messages, force users to print in duplex and recommend lower cost alternatives for printing such as not allowing users to send black and white documents to a color machine for printing, etc.
Recovery Module
The Recovery module allows end users to associate printing costs to other users, projects, clients, etc. In addition, Print Director can manage and set budgetary account limits for copying and printing by user.
