What Is Printer Status Monitoring Software?
As printer technology continues to advance, office printing needs are becoming more complex. If you need to manage a fleet of machines, limit access to specific employees, ensure document safety, and track printing expenses, print software is your all-in-one solution.
Depending on your business, you might print hundreds of pages of business documents each day. If you have multiple copy machines in your offices and dozens of employees using each one, there are many factors to keep track of. You can use print status monitoring software to connect with your fleet of network printers and collect data on key metrics, such as:
- Ink and toner levels
- Paper usage
- Print job types
- Active users
- Peak print times
Because print monitoring software is cloud-based, you don’t need to install any extra hardware to gain insight into your printing strategy. Instead, you wirelessly connect the software to your fleet of network printers and use your internet browser to access data. Print monitoring software collects real-time information that you can instantly access from any location.
In addition to collecting printing metrics, print software allows you to manage user access, implement safe print release practices, minimize unnecessary print jobs, and reduce accidental printing mistakes. You can take your existing multifunction printers and add advanced capabilities without upgrading any hardware or buying new parts.
