Printing isn’t free
An important part of the Total Print Management
solution from Cannon IV is the implementation of the
Pharos print cost management software on the HP
printers and MFPs to track and bill back output costs.
The college had used another cost-tracking solution in
the past.

“Previously, all the copiers had a separate box on the
side. It was somewhat troublesome, and at times the
numbers generated just didn’t make sense,” recalls
Smith. With the HP/Pharos solution, the software is
integrated with the MFP. Students can walk up to any
MFP, enter their personal PIN number, and the print
job will automatically be billed to their account. The
MFP display shows them how much money is left in
their printing account (which can be refilled at any
time), and how much the job will cost.

“Find a good partner to work with. Cannon IV and

to succeed as much as we want to succeed.”

Employee users utilize the same system, with pages
charged to their departmental accounts. “I want
people to recognize that printing is not free,” explains
Smith. “It’s not an exorbitant cost, but someone is
paying for each page. One of the ways to make
people accountable is to let them see the cost.”
Monthly reports show printing and copying costs by
department and user, so that department chairs can
track spending and, where necessary, rein it in.

All the networked HP printers at Anderson University
are also monitored using HP Web Jetadmin software.

“If we have a problem, we’ll use Web Jetadmin as a
first step to look into it,” Smith says. Cannon IV can
also monitor the printers and MFPs remotely using
Web Jetadmin to troubleshoot problems before a
technician is dispatched on-site.

In the first year of the managed print program,
Anderson paid some fees to terminate leases early.
From that point on, Smith says managed print will
definitely be saving the university money. It’s also
saving energy, thanks to the sharp reduction in total
number of devices, and deployment of more ENERGY
STAR®-qualified HP printers and MFPs with Web
Jetadmin, which enables automatically setting printers
to sleep mode in off hours.

Preparing for a managed print solution
To her peers interested in finding a better way to
manage printing, Smith heartily recommends
managed print solutions. To prepare, she says, it pays
to track usage and have print volume data in hand for
planning and determining the capabilities needed in
various locations.

“And perhaps most important, find a good partner to
work with. Cannon IV and HP have been excellent,”
she concludes. After deployment of all the new devices
on campus, Cannon IV not only delivered the on-site
training that Smith requested, but for the next month,
regularly visited the campus to help users learn how
to get the most out of the new MFPs. Cannon IV meets
with Smith every month to review usage statistics and
fine-tune device deployment to ensure all users’
needs are met.
