Newest Release Reduces Costs and Increases Document Security
Through Additional Print Management and Security Capabilities
FOSTER CITY, Calif., June 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EFI(TM)
(Nasdaqa:EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing
innovation, today announced PrintMe Mobile 2.2 software which gives IT
departments the ability to better control and manage printing from
tablets and smartphones in the enterprise. PrintMe Mobile's new
capabilities enable leading job accounting applications including
Equitrac and PaperCut to track printing from smartphones and tablets.
PrintMe Mobile also enhances access control to printers throughout an
organization, and provides local release printing to ensure sensitive
documents never leave the corporate network and are only printed when
requested by a user. A full version of PrintMe Mobile 2.2 software is
available for download and a free 45-day trial.
With PrintMe Mobile 2.2, IT departments can account for all printing
originating from mobile devices, and implement policies to control
access to printers based on a user ID. EFI has added advanced user
authentication to enable integration with a corporate LDAP server. This
helps companies improve the accuracy of job accounting software by
tracking mobile print jobs in the system based the specific user who is
printing. IT departments can also use PrintMe Mobile to create and
enforce policies to control which printers can be used and what types
of printing options are available (black/white or color, stapling,
advanced finishing, etc.) for each specific user or groups of users.
"The explosion of tablets in the enterprise has created a serious
challenge to tracking, managing and reporting print jobs," said Chris
Dance, CEO of PaperCut Software. "The standard AirPrint print job is
anonymous and does not provide a way for companies to track who printed
it. With PrintMe Mobile working together with PaperCut, companies can
now bring mobile printing in line with their job accounting rules in
order to properly account for print activity and reduce overall
consumables."
PrintMe Mobile 2.2 also delivers secure printing for organizations that
have highly sensitive content or tight restrictions on information
leaving the company network. Users can send print jobs from anywhere to
an internal print queue and release the print using their mobile device
once they are standing at a printer.
"For IT departments that want complete mobile printing coverage with
the best control, EFI PrintMe Mobile is the industry's only product
that provides flexibility, simplicity and security," said John Henze,
vice president of Fiery marketing for EFI. "PrintMe Mobile integrates
seamlessly into a company's network and security infrastructure to
mitigate the IT costs and security risks of supporting mobile printing
for all enterprise users. By providing an often overlooked but critical
user need for mobile printing, IT departments can increase productivity
while reducing help desk costs."
