The most cost-effective means of minimizing printing costs, PrintControl efficiently manages your organization’s printing resources by automating user-based or group-based printing quotas. System Admin can set quotas on users, groups, and printers as well as filter which documents can be printed.

In most organizations, providing easy access to printing resources is essential. Setting up and sharing printers in a Windows NT or 2000 environment is very simple, a few clicks and your users can print whatever they want, unmonitored and uncontrolled. Printing without discretion becomes common policy. Microsoft NT/2000 operating systems offers no means of controlling the astronomical costs of excessive printing.

Through PrintControl’s Manager, System Administrators have the capability to provide, block and set quotas on what is being printed by an individual user and/or by printer. PrintControl can be configured to carry out a number of different actions when users reach their printing quotas, or at any number of customizable thresholds. These actions can be to send a popup message to the user informing them of their quota status, send an email to the system administrator bringing attention to a locked quota, or take a printer off-line for maintenance and make an entry to the event log. PrintControl's ODBC compliant database logs all printing jobs within your network, allowing easy exports for cost analysis and forecasting reports, as well as offering internal billing flexibility.

PrintControl is Cost Effective: Cost is the driving force behind why organizations decide to implement a Print Quota Solution. Without a cap on the number of pages allowed to be printed, users are going to still be negligent with their printing. PrintControl will instantly begin to eliminate the volume of wasted paper, and cut back the costs on paper, toner, and printer maintenance.

PrintControl is Flexible: PrintControl is capable of monitoring and controlling printing by all users, even those who do not log into your NT/2000 domain. PrintControl offers impressive levels of flexibility by allowing organizations to monitor print resources and create and enforce print quotas within their system from a central management console.

PrintControl is Easy to Use: As with all NORTHERN products, PrintControl has received continued feedback from its customers. This feedback is the driving force upon improving the development of PrintControl and NORTHERN’s other system management solutions.

Efficiently managing your organizations Print costs and resources by automating print quotas will instantly provide a return on investment. PrintControl removes unnecessary printing and offers huge costs saving benefits and increased system efficiency.
