How much does it cost to ignore what is being printed in your organization?

Printing without control is expensive not only because of supplies but also due to repairs, given the internal wear of printer mechanisms. Likewise, the lifespan of printing equipment is reduced to less than half when users assume that there are no consequences for misuse.

According to Xerox Research, “40% of prints in any organization are discarded within the first 24 hours.” In other words, they should not have been printed at all.

According to Anne Mulcahy, CEO of Xerox, “the most frequently printed items are emails or material from the Internet.” In many cases, the printed material is purely personal.

According to Frank Booty of Systems I News UK, “within any organization there are employees printing an average of 45 pages per day.” As an organization grows, the number of unnecessary prints also increases.

What many organizations overlook

Many organizations overlook the benefits of keeping a print record. Such a record is equivalent to documenting the organization’s most important activities—similar to a journal that can be consulted at any time. If only important documents are printed, it becomes possible to determine the date and time of key operations. The confidentiality of information can also be protected by knowing exactly whose hands it passed through.

What does Cyberprinter do?

Cyberprinter logs any print job sent from a computer to any printing device.

What does Cyberprinter NOT do?

Cyberprinter does not log prints made directly from the printing device itself. This means it will not record copies made from the panel of a multifunction printer, nor copies made on photocopiers. To perform this function, in addition to Cyberprinter, a hardware device must be purchased to record those copies.
