In public libraries, the funding is not always in place to tend to the overuse of the printing services provided to patrons. A more fair situation would charge the users for the printing resources that they use, PrintUsage Pro provides the tools necessary to facilitate this with its excellent quota management system. It’s this and many other features that put PrintUsage Pro in a league of its own.

With no restriction on what a user can print, when and how much, the problems can be endless in public libraries. Patrons waste printing resources provided by the facilities on a daily basis. Not only is it 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 document.

 

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.

 

Whether your workstation environment is implemented using a Network, or you simply use a Workgroup, the advanced features of PrintUsage Pro will be able to accurately manage the users in your system and provide the scalability you need as the user base grows.

PrintUsage Pro User Guide
After our 30 day review, we have concluded that your product is by far the most advance in technology for tracking print jobs . We have since bought a 400 printer license from your reseller and have nothing but praise. Being able to capture what is printed with such a small hard drive space is an amazing technology that was easy for us to implement.
