Océ Print Management Software Delivers New Efficiency for Print Service Providers
Venlo, The Netherlands, 26 August 2010 - Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced the latest release of Océ PRISMAaccess print management software. Version 5.1 integrates new features that make it even easier for print service providers to process incoming jobs, archive files and provide greater cost transparency.
Efficient email integration
Océ PRISMAaccess 5.1 makes it as easy as possible for print service operators to process incoming jobs. Even with a web interface or a downloadable driver, customers still send jobs by email with files attached. To help operators process these orders more efficiently, the latest version of the software includes email integration. Operators can open emails and fill in the job ticket all within Microsoft Outlook. The job ticket opens in a separate window. Basic information like the job owner’s name and location are already filled in. All the operator has to do is add the job requirements detailed in the customer’s email.
Easier preflighting of PDFs
More and more jobs are submitted to print service providers as PDFs. Océ PRISMAaccess 5.1 integrates the core functions of Enfocus PitStop Pro making preflighting PDFs much quicker and easier. Operators can check PDFs for things like missing fonts and low-resolution images without having to open a separate application. Preflight rules only have to be configured once. This saves valuable time when deadlines are tight. After preflighting, Océ PRISMAaccess 5.1 software can also generate an overview with all problems found.
