Features

Cloud Print & Scan

As organizations move toward hybrid work and decentralized IT environments, cloud print and scan functionality has become essential. Print management and monitoring software serves as the central control layer that enables secure, efficient, and accountable printing and scanning across locations—both local and remote.

Seamless Cloud Printing from Anywhere

Print management software allows users to submit print jobs from any device—laptops, tablets, or smartphones—regardless of their location. Key benefits include:

• Remote Job Submission: Users working from home or another country can upload documents to a secure cloud print queue.
• Find-Me Printing / Pull Printing: Users can retrieve their print job at any authorized printer, simply by authenticating themselves (e.g., badge, PIN, mobile app).
• Print Roaming: Employees moving between locations can access their print jobs securely from any site.

Secure Document Handling

Security is a top concern with cloud printing and scanning. Print management software ensures:
• User Authentication: Only authorized users can initiate and release print/scan jobs.
• End-to-End Encryption: Documents are encrypted during transit and storage.
• Audit Trails: Every print/scan action is logged, showing who printed/scanned what, when, and where.
• Data Sovereignty Controls: Ensures documents are processed in compliance with regional regulations (e.g., GDPR).

Centralized Print Control Across All Locations

Whether printers are in one building or spread across continents, the software offers a unified platform to:
• Monitor device status and usage in real-time
• Set and enforce print policies across all users and offices
• Allocate costs by user, department, or project
• Automate print rules (e.g., duplex by default, restrict color)

Cloud-Based Scanning Workflows

Scan features are also enhanced with cloud integration:
• Scan to Cloud Storage: Easily scan documents to services like OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint, or custom enterprise cloud storage.
• Scan to Email or Folder: Route scanned documents to user inboxes or network folders, with naming conventions and indexing.
• User Authentication at Scanner: Ensures scans are tracked and sent to the right destination securely.

Usage Insights and Cost Control

Cloud print management software gives administrators powerful analytics to:
• Identify high-volume users or departments
• Detect and eliminate inefficiencies or unnecessary printing
• Optimize device placement and usage
• Forecast supply needs and maintenance

In Summary

A print management and monitoring system enables secure, policy-driven cloud printing and scanning, giving enterprises complete control, transparency, and flexibility. It supports the modern needs of hybrid workforces, helps reduce operational costs, and ensures every print or scan action aligns with corporate security and sustainability goals.

Digital Workplace

In the era of the digital workplace, employees expect seamless access to tools and information—anytime, anywhere, and from any device. As organizations shift to hybrid work models, the traditional print environment must evolve to match the flexibility, security, and connectivity of modern digital workflows.
This is where print management and monitoring software becomes a key enabler.

Integrated into the Digital Ecosystem

Print management software is no longer a back-office tool. It now plays a central role in connecting physical and digital workflows, allowing documents to move securely and efficiently between cloud apps, remote devices, and on-premise infrastructure.
• Cloud print and scan integration with productivity suites (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cloud storage)
• Authentication through enterprise identity providers (e.g., Azure AD, Okta)
• Mobile and BYOD printing support without compromising security

Empowering the Hybrid Workforce

Remote and mobile employees need to print and scan just as reliably as those in the office. With cloud-enabled print management:
• Users can submit print jobs from home, the airport, or a hotel and pick them up later at any secure printer location.
• Scanned documents can be instantly routed to cloud storage, email, or workflows for collaboration, no matter where the user is.
• All print and scan activity is tracked, secured, and managed—ensuring visibility and compliance across distributed teams.

Maintaining Control in a Decentralized Environment

The digital workplace introduces new risks and complexity. Print management software helps organizations maintain centralized control with:
• Role-based access and usage restrictions
• Secure pull-printing and document release
• Real-time monitoring of devices and print behavior
• Compliance reporting and audit trails

Driving Sustainability and Efficiency

In a digital-first workplace, printing should be intentional, not habitual. Print management tools promote responsible usage through:
• User quotas and cost-awareness prompts
• Default eco-settings (duplex, grayscale)
• Analytics to reduce paper, toner, and energy waste

Why It Matters

Print is still critical in many workflows—HR, finance, legal, education—but it must align with the flexibility, mobility, and efficiency of digital transformation efforts. Print management and monitoring software ensures that print remains secure, smart, and sustainable within the modern digital workplace.

Mobile Print

Empowering the On-the-Go Workforce – As organizations embrace flexibility and mobility, the ability to print directly from smartphones, tablets, and laptops—without being tethered to a specific network or location—is no longer a luxury. Mobile print is a core feature of modern print management and monitoring solutions, offering secure, convenient, and controlled printing from any device, anywhere.

What Is Mobile Print?

Mobile print allows users to send documents to printers using mobile devices—whether they’re in the office, working remotely, or visiting a different location. It removes traditional barriers like being physically connected to a printer or company network.
