Latest release of Equitrac Office 4 now available

Plantation, FL - September 23, 2009 -- Equitrac Corporation, an award-winning print and cost management solutions provider, today announced the availability of the latest version of Equitrac Office® 4, designed specifically for corporate enterprises to drive down document printing costs and overall waste, while increasing the security of confidential documents.

"Organizations today are looking for more efficient ways of managing document output and related costs," said Gaetan Spake, vice president of product management. "Equitrac Office 4 responds to our needs for enhanced print control, flexibility and greater convenience."

Equitrac Office is deployed in corporations around the world -- including more than 50 of the Fortune 500 enterprises -- to authorize, authenticate and account for use of multi-function devices (MFDs), copiers, and printers. It supports every major output device as well as database types, operating systems and user identification methods.

New in Equitrac Office 4

Equitrac Office provides the scalability to manage from one to thousands of MFDs serving tens of thousands of users in various markets including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and the general business enterprise. New features of the latest version include:

Advanced reporting capabilities – This version of Equitrac Office 4 offers enhanced reporting including more granular media usage, enabling IT administrators to make more informed decisions about paper usage in the printer network, driving down costs and reducing wasted paper supplies.

Convenient pop-up notification – End-user pop-up notification now supports features such as hypertext links. Users can be directed to content-rich information such as intranet pages describing print policies, or a job ticket to route to the central reprographic department.

Web-based Release Station – The Release Station is now a web-based add-on to Equitrac Office 4, allowing end users to log on and release print jobs from common browsers. In addition to improving usability for the end user, the Release Station minimizes the installation and maintenance burden on the IT department since the need for a thick client is no longer required.

Enhanced print control with Follow-You Printing® – Organizations with Xerox EIP and Sharp OSA3 devices can now offer users the ability to override the print workflow default at the printer and opt to print a color document in black and white. This new feature helps enterprises minimize unnecessary color printing, which helps to drive down costs.

Extended partner integration – Equitrac Office 4 now supports Apple Remote Desktop, direct IP printing to Macintosh workstations and both PowerPC and Intel platforms. Additionally, the software supports iPrint on Novell SUSE 10 OES2 SP1, Canon GARO print driver, and greater security features at the print spooler. Finally, organizations can save on licensing costs when integrating Equitrac Office with Equitrac Embedded for Xerox EIP, or eCopy ShareScan.
