Testimonial

"Pull (Secure Release) Printing helps us with that added security. Users can print without having to stop what they’re doing, then go to the printer and collect their printout when they’re ready. It’s a similar experience to private printing but a little easier to set up.”

From the White Paper

Universal Print security is a real issue because employees frequently print a document and then fail to retrieve it from the printer. What if they contain important or even confidential information? Who could see that information? Unfortunately, while IT professionals have used secure printing for a long time, many IT professionals struggle with making it easy enough for end users to encourage adoption.
