Photocopier accounting (off the glass) - using external terminals

To provide real-time direct integration with Pcounter, network-connected copier control devices are installed at each copier or MFD – users login by using the touch screen, ID card or biometric fingerprint reader.

The user can then use the photocopier or MFD, with limits/quotas optionally enforced, and can be asked to enter charge-codes or client codes - all details of the copy transaction are logged centrally with all the relevant print data.

Photocopier accounting (off the glass) – using embedded software

With the new generation of multi-functional devices from certain manufacturers functionality is embedded in the device to enable real-time direct integration with Pcounter without the need for external hardware by using the touch screen of the multi-functional device (ID card readers for authentication still need to be connected if required).

Scan to Me and Scan to Folder functionality is available with certain of the embedded solutions.

Embedded software modules are available for selected models in the ranges from Canon, Kyocera, Sharp, Ricoh, Oce, Olivetti, HP, Konica Minolta, Toshiba, and Xerox – other vendors are being added regularly – please contact us to discuss your specific models and requirements for integration

Photocopier Control, Print Release and cost-recovery using payment cards

For environments where there are no user login accounts or non-networked devices that need control, we can provide standalone copier control solutions where value is held on a card and the value is deducted when the card is used for either photocopying or printing.
