The first step in getting a handle on your printing and 
related costs is knowing where and how the money is 
being spent. Canon uniFLOW allows you to track and 
control activity on every device in your fleet, including 
printers, copiers, multifunctional devices, fax machines, 
and scanners, regardless of manufacturer. Once you 
understand the issues, you can set controls related to 
color printing, double-sided printing, paper sizing, 
finishing options, device/task optimization, reducing 
personal or low-priority printing, minimizing waste, 
cutting costs, and conserving resources throughout 
your organization. 
Gain outstanding visibility into your  
print environment.
Graphical reports and statistics  
right to your inbox
uniFLOW can deliver more than 65 different reports that can be generated on 
demand or compiled on a regular basis. These provide insight into usage by  
individual, department, device, application, or any group or combination you specify. 
Reports not only show usage in the current period, but they can also present 
information in aggregate or trending over time. uniFLOW also allows outstanding 
flexibility in generating customized reports to meet your specific needs.
Manage and allocate costs like never before
uniFLOW can help you identify and allocate printing usage related to specific 
internal departments or groups, clients, or individual jobs or projects. This data 
can be used for accurate, substantiated chargeback or cost assignment,  
including work performed in your central Print Room. It can even help establish 
and enforce budgetary restrictions; such as, only allowing particular groups 
access to printing up to predetermined amounts.
Consolidate information from 
multiple locations without  
multiple servers
With the uniFLOW SmartClient, you can collect 
information locally at each office without adding 
servers and IT complexity. The SmartClient can 
store the accounting and reporting data, and 
then sync periodically with the main uniFLOW 
server at any interval you desire.
Monitor your sustainability success
uniFLOW can help you establish and present a new and valuable aspect of your sustainability performance story to share with customers, 
vendors, employees, analysts, and other stakeholders. These powerful reports can help you demonstrate the positive environmental impact 
of your printing and resource waste reduction, and even translate it into recognized industry sustainability metrics, such as trees saved and 
reduced carbon footprint.
