Fast, flexible and easy to use, HP LaserJet MFP devices have revolutionized the way that businesses of all sizes communicate. Still, the very versatility of these machines presents businesses
with a number of challenges.

• How do you keep unauthorized personnel from using these devices?
• How do you prevent misuse and waste?
• How do you allocate printer costs?
• How do you safeguard proprietary and confidential documents?
• How do you track usage and forecast expenses?

The MegaTrack In Printer Agent (MIPA) with PIN-code access helps you address all these issues with a single “in printer” solution.

Track and Monitor Printer and MFP Activity

The MIPA half of this solution gives organizations the ability to record and monitor printer and MFP activity directly at the device, providing a precise accounting of printing functions. Because this “in printer” solution is not reliant on SNMP traps or MIB polling, MIPA o#ers improved accuracy and reliability over other tracking and data collection systems. When installed into MFP devices, it can also be used to track copying, faxing and scan-to-email functions. Each time the printer or MFP is used, MIPA collects important data about the job, including:

• User I.D.
• Pages Processed and Number of Copies
• Paper Size/ Media Type
• Copy, fax and e-mail function usage
• Duplexing Information
• Color / Monochrome pages

MIPA tracks print jobs that have been submitted both directly (via TCP/IP) or through a windows print server. This data is then recorded to either the printer’s hard disk (if available) or to a small amount of compact !ash memory. Once recorded, this extremely accurate data can then be accessed and uploaded by the MegaTrack Reporting Tool (MRT).
