Jennifer Muller, the North East Channel Manager for ecoprintQ, a PaperCut Authorized Solution Center, has sold the solution for 5 years and has had hundreds of software demonstrations and conversations about the benefits of print management. She says the top three features as to why PaperCut MF is so enticing are Find Me Printing, Secure Print Release, and Tracking and Reporting. Find Me Printing allows you to print to a central queue and release the job from any device. Secure Print Release requires users to use an authentication option such as their employee badge, key fob, username, or custom PIN to view and select what job to release. All of these activities can be tracked and reported on, with over 80 pre-built reports to cover every user, device, department, and other custom options. The biggest benefit of print management is that you can fully understand your print ecosystem, knowing who is printing what and when. It reduces waste, saves money, and promotes a secure environment.<\/p>\nHannah Barrett<\/a> PiF Technologies<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
