Toner/Ink Saving
Main Printing Elements:
- Text
- Picture
- Victor/drawing
The software determines which dots of toner/ink can be removed from each printed element (text, images, and vector art) to still achieve the desired quality.
The Pharos Toner Saving Policy default settings achieve 30-40% savings with no quality degradation
PMO Policies (Print Guidance)
Defaulting to duplex (double-sided) printing can significantly reduce paper consumption and associated costs. By setting duplex printing as the default option for all print jobs, organizations can encourage employees to use both sides of the paper and minimize wastage.
The print policies are helping to educate the user about his printing activities like:
- The print job is released immediately.
- Information provided to influence user’s future behavior
PMO Policies (Printing Quotes)
Setting print quotas for individual users or departments can encourage employees to be more mindful of their printing habits and reduce excessive printing. Quotas can be based on the number of pages printed or the overall cost of printing and can be monitored and adjusted as needed to meet organizational goals.
The print policies are helping to educate the user about his printing activities like:
- The Job is held until the user chooses to continue or cancel printing.
- To continue printing, the user must acknowledge that the job is a policy exception.
PMO Policies (Restrictions)
Color printing can be substantially more expensive than black-and-white printing. Implementing color printing restrictions, such as requiring manager approval for color print jobs or limiting color printing to specific devices, can help control costs and reduce wastage associated with unnecessary color printing.
The print policies are helping to educate the user about his printing activities like:
- The user is not allowed to print the job.
- Used only in rare circumstances.
Secure Printing Solution
How Does it Work
Secure Release (also referred to as secure print release, Follow Me printing, or pull printing) is a feature that allows the users to send a document to a printer, but the document is held in a shared queue until the user is physically present at the printer to release it.
This can help to prevent sensitive or confidential documents from being left unclaimed and potentially seen by unauthorized individuals.
To release a document that has been sent to a secure printer, the user typically needs to enter a PIN or use a card reader at the printer to authenticate themselves.
