FAIRFIELD, N.J. – April 18, 2012 – KYOCERA Document Solutions America, Inc., one of the world's leading document solutions companies, today announced the availability of PinPoint Scan, a business application created to enable simple and secure scanning from a Kyocera HyPAS-enabled Multifunctional Product (MFP) directly to a network connected personal computer (PC). As scanning is one of the most important functions of document workflow, Kyocera’s PinPoint Scan makes scanning from an MFP to a network connected PC as easy as scanning from a desktop scanner – but with the added speed and versatility Kyocera MFPs provide.

PinPoint Scan makes network scanning simple, requiring only a two-step installation process, one download to the MFP and one to a PC. Once installed, the straight-forward PC-side of PinPoint Scan allows end users to create and manage a unique personal identification number (PIN). Upon entering the PIN at any PinPoint Scan-enabled MFP on the network – that MFP will then rapidly search the network, find the user’s PC, and scan directly to it.

Rochester, NY -- Print service providers attending the EFI annual user’s conference, Connect 2012, will hear about the ongoing efforts of Kodak and EFI to expand connectivity between their solutions.

Attendees will learn how two-way flow of data between KODAK PRINERGY Workflow and EFI MONARCH MIS software and PACE MIS software can help improve job flow, minimize errors, and provide better visibility into planned versus actual production costs. Kodak also will demonstrate PRINERGY Workflow connectivity to EFI FIERY digital print controllers, which allows users to drive output to the most suitable offset or digital device, schedule jobs more easily, and maximize press usage—while also providing critical tracking and reporting information.

Customer Overview

A tire store with several regional locations wanted to update their printing technology from impact printers to laser printers to improve their customer’s experience and improve the environment in their stores. This
customer’s goal was to improve their sales documents to look more professional to their customers, increase their output speeds to shorten the purchase process, and to reduce the noise created by the printers to improve the environment for the customers in their waiting room. In order to succeed, there were several issues that needed to be addressed. The point of sale software that was used did not support laser printers, modifying the form used in the printers, and the cost to replace their existing printers.

Kyocera Solution

These goals were met by using Kyocera Printers utilizing PRESCRIBE technology.

Two invoices were created to replace the sales invoice and the work order. These forms were stored on each Kyocera Printer utilizing PRESCRIBE. Each form was configured to use a unique logical printer port, so
when the point of sale software printed the form, the printer was able to emulate the impact printer, and access the proper form that was stored on the printer. By utilizing the standard logical printer ports on the Kyocera printers, they were able to reduce the number of printers in each location from a minimum of two to a single printer.
