MIPA PIN MegaTrack® In Printer Agent with Pin Code Access
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).

MegaTrack® Monitor and Manage Your Printing Costs
Every month, companies pour a substantial amount of money into consumables like paper and toner. Their printers endure hundreds of hours of wear and tear, resulting in high maintenance and replacement costs. Yet these same companies have no way of knowing or measuring how their printers are being used, who is using them or even how this print activity is a!ecting their bottom line.
MegaTrack was designed to help companies take control of their printing resources. It is a critical tool for any company looking to reduce consumable expenses and total cost of ownership while increasing accountability. It can help companies forecast device replacement needs and consumable purchases, and maximize their return on investment when planning future printer installations.
Optimize Your Printing Resources
As its name implies, MegaTrack can be used to track numerous aspects of your company’s printer usage. MegaTrack monitors printer activity on local and remote print-servers to provide you with comprehensive, real-time data. This printer usage data can be sorted by department, cost-center, project – even by individual employees or individual printers. And that’s just the beginning. MegaTrack o!ers advanced page cost management tools to track media expenses, printer depreciation, and more. This data can then be used to target waste, allocate printer usage and optimize your company’s printer investment.

MegaTrack 3.2 Whitepaper
As the business environment becomes more competitive and profit margins become slimmer, the need for companies to become more efficient and cost-effective has never been more important.
While some business expenses are easy to calculate and control, others can be just as elusive. For instance, the often overlooked cost associated with printing.
It’s important to realize that the cost of printing goes beyond paper, ink and toner consumption. Other contributing factors to this necessary expense include the type of printer being used, wear and tear on the unit, maintenance costs and depreciation. All of which must be considered and added to the cost of each page printed.
Once accurate information has been gathered, end-user waste can be identified and eliminated. In addition, costs can be further defrayed by billing the appropriate department or client for each printed page.
