Interacti ve
Rules
uniFLOW
can
process
rules either automati cally or by
showing a prompt to the user
and allowing them to choose
the most appropriate acti on. By
showing an interacti ve prompt,
users can be educated as to why
a parti cular print job is being
changed and therefore they can
change their behavior in future.
Interacti ve routi ng prompts can,
for example, show the user a list
of diff erent printers to route the
job to, together with the prices
that will be charged for each
selecti on.

Route to the
cheapest Device
The
most
convenient
printer to the user may not be
the most cost eff ecti ve. uniFLOW
can route jobs directly to another
printer, to a secure print queue
or, for very large jobs, to the
in-house print room with all
cost savings made stored in the
database for later reporti ng. As
well as selecti ng rules such as
for specifi c jobs, administrators
can select what should happen
if a certain printer is offl ine.
Should the jobs be automati cally
routed to the next closest device
or should the user be prompted
where it should be printed?

Change
the Job
As well as being able to
route to most cost eff ecti ve
printers, uniFLOW can change
how the job will be printed on
the device. Jobs from certain
applicati ons, such as emails, can
be forced to print in black-and-
white while large jobs can be
made to be double-sided. These
job changes can be automati c or
a prompt shown to the user to
allow them to choose. Similar to
routi ng a job to a new printer,
the user can see the price
diff erence between accepti ng
the change to their job or leaving
the default setti ngs.
