Equitrac Education Solutions
End print waste throughout your campus, school or district.
Who in education hasn't seen recycle bins full of wasted paper, unused prints and multiple copies of the same document? Or unclaimed printouts of entire books or Web sites?
Easy access to so-called "free printing" in classrooms and computer labs encourages this waste of paper, resources and money. And it's no way to teach good environmental practice or to spend limited budgets.
Make everyone accountable for every page they print.
Now you can end print waste, with Equitrac Express® 4 - the most advanced version yet of Equitrac's market-leading print management and cost recovery solution for colleges, universities, K-12 schools and their libraries.
With Equitrac software, you decide who may print, how many pages, on which machines. You can easily set and enforce print quotas, integrate print management into your existing campus card system, then track, analyze or charge for every page output by any student, faculty member,
staffer or guest on any desktop printer, networked multifunction printer or walk-up copier.
With your choice of device-embedded and terminal based solutions, you gain the control to reduce total printing, optimize equipment deployment and direct necessary printing to your most efficient devices - all of which reduces the cost of producing documents.
- Effortless print quota enforcement
Use Equitrac's education solution to require users' I.D. to print, track every page they produce and hold them to their semester
quota.
- Accurate cost allocation and recovery
Allocate document costs to department budgets or grants, easily charge for output features and create different price schedules for faculty, staff, students or walk-up patrons.
- Convenient payment options
Cash, stored-value cards, campus card, credit card or network printing accounts - we support them all.
- Ease of use
Equitrac makes print management simple, routine and virtually automatic. All the information you need is collected over the network with minimal user input.
- Security and confidentiality
Don't let personal student information or next week's final exams sit unattended at remote printers. Follow-You Printing® with Secure Document Release holds documents in a secure print queue until users authenticate themselves at the printer or provide adequate payment.
- Improved productivity
Users enjoy the mobility to release documents at any networked device - anywhere on campus, across servers and even on other campuses.
- Extensive reporting capabilities
Summary, detailed and total activity reports show at a glance who produces the most output, which devices are most heavily used or where problems typically occur.
- Simplified IT
Equitrac software simplifies life for IT administrators. With centralized equipment administration and control, it improves service levels, minimizes IT resource requirements and reduces printing-related help desk calls. Pro-active fault detection and timely error notification help technical staff to resolve issues before they become problems. And Equitrac's new Device Monitoring Engine provides a single console to track the status and history - including current paper and toner levels and recent failures - of all networked devices.
- A better environment
One environmentally aware college used Equitrac software to enforce print quotas and reduce overall printing by 50 percent. By making networked MFPs more convenient and secure, Equitrac helps to reduce or eliminate wasteful, un-managed, personal printers.
- A solution for today and tomorrow
Available as both device-embedded and terminal-based software, Equitrac's solution seamlessly integrates into your existing IT infrastructure. It works with the printers, copiers and multi-function printers from all leading manufacturers. And it easily scales from small, single-server sites up to multi-campus or district-wide networks with thousands of printers and hundreds of thousands of users.
