Managing printing alongside your equipment
Print management software works alongside printers and photocopiers to provide greater visibility and control.
In some education environments, this can be achieved through simple device setup. In others, software provides an additional layer of control where it adds clear operational value.
What this software helps with
In practice, print management software can help to:
- Monitor and understand print usage
- Improve document security through user authentication
- Allocate costs by user, department, or project
- Enable flexible and cloud-based printing.
These tools are introduced where they support existing workflows, rather than complicate them.
When software is useful
Software is most relevant where:
- Printing is shared across staff, departments, or sites
- Cost control and usage visibility are important
- Secure printing or user authentication is required
- Devices are used across multiple locations or remotely.
In smaller or simpler environments, a well-configured device setup may be sufficient without additional software.
Available platforms
On-premise print management platform providing user authentication, usage tracking, and cost control across networked devices.
Cloud-based print management platform providing secure printing, simplified deployment, and reduced infrastructure requirements.
Cloud-enabled print platform providing secure mobile printing and remote access across compatible devices.
Cloud-based device management platform providing monitoring, reporting, and remote configuration capabilities.
