Save money and cut your environmental impact

Eliminate piles of paper lying around the printers thanks to easy selection of which documents should be printed - documents follow users to the printer eradicating the most common cause of print waste while increasing document security. Every rule can cause a notification to be sent to the print job’s owner - this notification is an easy way to educate users about responsible behaviour when printing large documents in colour, for instance. Organisations can track and allocate costs for printing, scanning and copying services by budget centre or by client - EPA tracks and reports on the billing services entered into the MFP for easy accounting and tracking. Administrators can set up billing codes that enable organisations to manage and track costs by users, departments, projects, and cost centres.
