Print and Copy Accounting

While students traditionally pay for their printing and copying on campus, most faculty and administration staff do not. Yet the opportunity for print cost recovery and cost reduction at these levels is significant.

With Pharos Uniprint and Off-The-Glass on campus, a single solution allows you to manage university printing services and control overall campus printing costs by charging students directly for their activity while allocating faculty and administration print and copy to budget centers. Your higher education institution can monitor, track, account for, and charge back printing and copying to specific departments, grant numbers, or research projects. Pharos print and copy accounting software provides a single database of all user-based printing and copying activity.

Using Pharos Uniprint and Pharos Off-The-Glass in your faculty and administration areas allows you to:

• Implement user-level job accounting, to account for and price print and copy jobs by attribute, device, and volume.


• Calculate the real cost of campus printing at each location for each device, user, and transaction.


• Achieve cost recovery by charging back print and copy output to departments by user name or ID number, department, or project code.


• Provide detailed reports of user print and copy activity, which facilitate fact-based decisions about your university printing services environment.

The new Pharos Integrated MFPs offer this print job accounting functionality embedded in the most up-to-date print and copy technology. In a single device, get the reliability and accuracy of trusted Pharos software with the best from your favorite device manufacturers.
