Wasted printing resources is a big problem is schools and colleges, without any restriction on these resources it is all too easy for a user to hit Print, without thinking about the consequences. Factoring in the cost of toner and maintenance services, these consequences go much further than just the effect on the environment.

The features we provide with PrintUsage Pro include tools and mechanisms to help to significantly reduce these costs.

With no restriction on what a user can print, when and how much, the problems can be endless in schools and colleges. Everyday, students waste the finite printing resources provided by their institution. Not only it is a waste of paper and print toner but hitting the “Print” button unnecessarily can clog up the print queue, preventing other users from printing an important essay to meet a deadline.

The quota system provided by PrintUsage Pro is ideal in this situation, charging to print each side is just one of the features included; Auditing documents based on the maximum number of pages in a document, the size of the file printed and the file type all help to reduce the amount of unnecessary print jobs sent by a user.
