No office can work without printers. The bigger the company is, the more printers it uses, and correspondingly the higher printing infrastructure costs are. The employees who use the office printers for personal needs form a considerable share of these costs. Printer Activity Monitor software is designed to help solving this problem.
The software consists of three units:
- Agent - is a system service, which permanently runs in memory and collects the data on finished print jobs. The Agent is installed either to the print server or to the user's workstations.
- Data Center - is a system service, which receives data from the agents and accumulates it in the database.
- Management Console - is a snap-in for Microsoft Management Console, designed to administrate the software and audit printing.
