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.
