Track Printing and Copying Costs:
Statistics Module
All organizations need to understand how their printing budget is being spent in order to control costs and
cut waste. uniFLOW can track all printing, copying, faxing and scanning made in an organization on any
printer or MFD regardless of manufacturer, including those connected directly to the user’s PC. Over 60
standard reports allow the finance department to view and monitor how the printing and copying budget
is being used.

Multi-level Cost Centers
As well as being able to
associate printing and copying
costs with a specific user or
department, uniFLOW allows
organizations to assign the
costs to a multi-level cost center
to allow chargeback to the
appropriate customer or project
code. When sending a job to
print, a pop-up screen appears
on the user’s PC allowing them
to select which cost center to
charge the job to. A similar
screen is displayed on the MFD
control panel when the user
sends a copy job.

Track Cost Saving
uniFLOW
allows
the
finance department to track the
savings made through improved
printing practices currently used
by the organization. With this
information, better printing rules
can be established and the true
return on investment from using
a managed printing system in
the organization can be shown.
Examples of savings that can
be tracked include secure print
jobs that users have not printed
and jobs that have been routed
from an expensive printer to a
cheaper multifunctional device.

Environmental Benefits
Being able to accurately
monitor usage and savings is
also important to organizations
wanting to support international
standards. Not only can uniFLOW
monitor the environmental
impact made by printing and
copying but it can also show
this information for example,
by illustrating how many trees
have been saved or how many
grams of CO2 have been saved
by not having printed some jobs.
These reports can show how
the environmental impact has
changed over time.
