Collecting Data on Workstations - Client Side Monitoring
This mode implies installing the agent on the user computer print jobs are directly sent from. In this case, it does not matter what printers are used for printing: local, shared (printers physically located on another computer but having a shared access), network (connected directly to the local area network of the organization). The agent intercepts information about the print job directly from the application it is sent from. It allows us to rest assured that all job properties will be always detected correctly and the document image will be always correctly intercepted and saved.
Besides, this method makes it possible to get additional job properties, such as the process name of the application the print job was created in: Microsoft Word, Excel, Internet Explorer and so on.
So, the Client Side Monitoring mode must be activated on those agents that are installed on computers users physically sit at and print documents from.
