Intelligent print management
Pcounter is a flexible and highly scalable network server-based print management and accounting solution that provides a wide range of cost control and cost recovery capabilities. Waste and misuse is eliminated, resulting in dramatic cost savings across any type of organization. Pcounter gives
- Separate pricing for color and duplex print jobs.
- Enforces printing account balances/quotas for users. Users can check their balances via web browser or using Wbalance, a small Windows utility which runs in the system tray.
- Keeps a log file of all print activity - for printers hosted on multiple servers the log can be kept in one central location for easy access.
- The cost for each page is determined by the paper size used in the print job, allowing variable costs for printers which support multiple paper sizes. Print jobs requesting an invalid paper size can be discarded. Roll plotters can be accounted for based on image size.
- Can generate various printing usage reports and print histories of users, printers, and client codes.
- Rules based printing for load balancing based on maximum and minimum byte sizes, page counts, copy counts, and color content - print jobs can be deleted, moved to the end of the queue, or moved to another print queue.
- Reject incorrect print job types such as Postscript on PCL printers.
