Software Features and Applications > Print/Copy Accounting

Pharos Systems offers print accounting through Uniprint® and copy accounting through Off-The-Glass®. Together they provide a complete picture of network printing and copying in your institution, with reports available by individual device, device group, individual user, user group, and cost center.

For each print and copy job, Pharos software tracks the device that processed the job, the job owner, job cost, number of pages, color vs. B&W, etc. For print jobs, Uniprint also captures the file name. As a result, there is a complete audit trail for all print and copy transactions.

For every printer, copier, and multifunction printer, the system reports volumes on an hourly, weekly, and monthly basis. This utilization data can be used to make fact-based decisions about adding, removing, and relocating equipment.

Pharos software also tracks print jobs that were submitted but never printed. This includes jobs that users deleted at a Pharos user interface station (iMFP or Omega PS150) because they decided that they didn't need to print them. It also includes jobs that Uniprint deleted because their time limit had expired. (Your institution defines the length of time that jobs are permitted to sit in the print queue.) Uniprint reports the page volume and associated cost savings for both kinds of deleted jobs, providing a measure of your waste savings from unprinted documents.
