What is Pull Printing?

Pull Printing is a networked system that enables companies and large organisations to successfully manage their print output - making it more efficient and effective.

With Pull Printing the user sends their print job directly to the Pull Server, they can then go to any Pull enabled printer in the organisation and request the printout at that location. Because the computers do not have to be configured with multiple printer drivers this reduces IT time and costs of installing drivers and associated software.

Configuration for Pull Printing can be extensively customised for both user and print job. For instance some users may be restricted from being able to print colour, or print jobs of a certain magnitude may be redirected to specific 'Print Shop printers' that output greater quantities, thereby freeing up local laser printers and reducing the direct cost overheads.

XMA provide two different Pull Printing systems (SafeCom and FollowMe), each with specific benefits to both the user and organisation and choice is largely based on customer specific requirements.
