SurveilStar Printer Activity Monitor Benefits
Most office managers don't have an understanding of how many pages each employee is printing in a year or in a week. What time of the day the printer is used the most or what time of the day the printer is idle. Since management does not have the critical information of how many pages are being printed and who does the most printing, offices end up with over capacity. Office equipment suppliers routinely "over-sell" expensive high-end printers to their customers.
With SurveilStar Printer Activity Monitor, one can quickly and precisely assess an office need and calculate the printer hardware needed for the office. Identifying printing habits of individuals or the office and allocating resources accordingly can reduce paper waste by eliminating reprints and identifying faulty devices. A defective printer with faulty paper feed can cost a lot for an office in wasted time and wasted paper because of frequent paper jams resulting in reprinting.
