EZCharger enables organizations to monitor and control document output costs by tracking and limiting copy, print and scan functions of multi function devices (MFD’s). Users can check their account balances, make copies, scans, and release their prints from any MFD. Access to MFDs is secured by a user ID, which can be input via an optional card-scan device. With EZ Charger’s features, MFP resource allocation and tracking are made simple.

About EZCharger

  • Assess your document output expenses by monitoring all MFPs connected to your network
  • Allocate MFP resources – copies, prints, and scans – by setting limits or quotas unique to individual users or groups
  • Automate balance adjustments using the built-in scheduler to credit user accounts automatically
  • Create reports showing usage history by individual users, groups, MFPs, top users, and more

Features

  • Optional card-scan authentication – With this module installed, users need only scan their identification card to login or logout of the MFP
  • Control over collecting printed documents – Users can release and collect their prints from any MFP that is registered with EZ Charger, regardless of which device they print to
  • Easily set rates for each MFP resource – Cost parameters can be set for copying, printing, and scanning based on each type of resource; paper size, colour or black-and-white, single-sided or duplex, print or scan
  • User balance top-up options – User balance or quota can be periodically credited with a predetermined amount automatically. Administrators can also issue top-up vouchers, so that users can credit their own accounts (from their PCs)
  • Real-time monitoring – Usage statistics and account balances are updated on the spot, as users make copies, scans or prints. Administrators have access to the latest information and can generate reports at any time
  • Create detailed reports– A summary or detailed line-by-line report provides information on all MFP activity for cost tracking or billing purposes

Benefits

  • Unobtrusive integration – Your organisation’s workflow remains practically unaffected even after the system is in place, and users require only minimal training
  • Eliminate unclaimed printed documents – Users’ prints are held until they log in at the MFP and release them, ensuring document confidentiality and eliminating unclaimed printed documents
  • Options to limit colour copying/printing – Companies can now limit expensive colour document output, while allowing the use of more economical black-and-white (even when a user’s account balance/quota is depleted)
