Office workers can now enjoy frustration free printing and help the environment at the same time with the latest release of Ricoh’s Equitrac software.

Equitrac solutions provide document cost management (auditing, allocation, recovery) and output management solutions for multifunction devices.

With the improved print system, named Print & Copy Control 4 (PCC4), documents can be automatically detected and printed using a swipe card or PIN at any multifunctional device on an organisation’s network.

“This signals the end of stacks of wasted paper due to abandoned print jobs.” said Kathy Wilson, General Manager of Business Solutions for Ricoh Australia.

The latest version of PCC4 includes other enhancements, such as:

• Easier interaction at the multifunctional device with single sign on to third party applications for a superior user experience.
• Simpler access to documents anywhere on the print server without searching, from any printer on the network with Follow-You-Printing.
• Straightforward one-button scanning directly to email with Scan-to-Me.

“When we talk to customers, this is what they’ve asked for – being able to print to anywhere in their office makes their work day that much more productive,” Wilson said.

“Also with Equitrac’s PCC4, managers can see how much they’ve spent on printing and exactly who is printing what, therefore allowing them to make more informed decisions regarding their fleet.”

PCC4 also ensures document confidentiality, because the job isn’t printed until it has been released by the user’s swipe card or PIN.
