SenPrint? DPM is specifically designed for enabling print
management and cost recovery for document printing. It
enables a ¡§pay-per-print¡¨ concept so that users require to pay
before getting their prints. Typically, a print console that sits
next to the network printer will be in place to store the print jobs
pending for trigger and print. Payment using stored-value card or
post-paid charging method can both be adopted. The charging
scheme usually depends on the number of prints, paper size,
single/double-sided and monochrome/color etc.
Today, high speed laser printing and high quality color printing
are getting prevalent. A lot of companies and institutes have
already started to consider upgrades for their existing printing
equipment to higher speed and higher quality. But to offset
some of the increased consumable costs, there is a demand for
managing the print usage by imposing a pay-per-print charging
or print quota concept. SenPrint DPM is such an application
software that can be used to enable the easy print management
and usage control.
There are many application areas for SenPrint DPM. Ranging
from school computer labs to mobile printing hotspots, there is
an increasing concern for the uncontrollable expenses incurred
in the abuse of excessive printing. SenPrint DPM provides the
peace of mind to encourage the usage on a need-to-print
manner. In addition, the user can trigger the print out in front of
the console at their convenience in privacy. For those jobs that
are not desired after printing from the workstation, the user can
simply ignore it and the print jobs will be automatically cleared
after 24 hours. As a result, the wastage of unwanted prints are
reduced to a minimum.
