Interactive printing (or Follow Me / Find Me printing, depending on your software) is the smartest way to manage your printing environment. It not only makes your life easier but could save your business money, as well as improve your carbon footprint.
What is Interactive Printing?
It is a network print queue that does not automatically send pages to a specific printer. A print job is held and does not print out until you authorise its release at the network printer of your choice.
Sometimes referred to as cloud printing, Follow Me only releases pages when the sender ‘authenticates’ themselves at the printing device. This can be by using a PIN number, a username & password, or a proximity card. Many businesses use the same card or fob to collect their print jobs as they use to get into their own building.
Different individual access rights can also be granted. Documents will only be released when the user is physically standing in front of the device with proper authentication.
This means less waste, fewer lost documents and less chance of someone intercepting your confidential information.
