The Instant Edition - Crisis Package is limited, in terms of the licence, to a specific number of users and/or devices. That is why, you may connect exact number of network printers, copiers, multi-functional devices and local printers to the server (in accordance with the license type). YSoft SafeQ Instant Edition (Crisis Package) expands the solution with features strictly focused on cost cutting in the printing environment. The feature set focuses on the utilization of cheaper printing options, such as enforcing use of black instead of colour, duplex printing where possible, and detailed cost reporting used in conjunction with departmental quotas. Crisis Package and Instant Edition are actually one product. The difference is in the product name in accordance to the region (Instant Edition for Americas and A&P, Crisis Package for EMEA).
Secured printing, also called "postponed print" or "pull print", is a feature which allows you to actually print out your documents only when you authorise yourself with the SafeQ terminal at the printer. And more, your documents will be available at any compatible printer in the system.
When using the SafeQ server, jobs are stored in one place: the spooler on the server. This storage can be backed up (also differential backup is possible), modified and easily expanded on a regular basis. Furthermore, no hard drive must be procured and installed into the printers, multiplying the cost savings in larger companies.
The SafeQ user subsystem can use either an internal database and/or can be connected to other existing user resources (such as ActiveDirectory, NDS or LDAP). Thanks to its modularity and flexibility, a new user module may be programmed efficiently to enable a connection to any other user resource (either system or database).
Central administration of SafeQ is powered by a web interface accessible anytime from the entire network. You can, under the administration account, manage all the settings of the print environment, e.g. printers, print queues, redirecting properties and access rights.
The SafeQ print solution offers the monitoring of printed, copied and scanned pages and faxes, with details of single users, cost centres or machines. Outputs can be monitored on network printers, multi-functional devices and also local (table) printers and plotters.
Utilize the same cards as are already in use elsewhere. Just as SafeQ enables customisations, the SafeQ Terminal offers a wide range of supported card readers and connections of entirely new types. A uniform interface for the connection of the reader makes a connection of almost any type possible.
SafeQ accounts printing and copying and takes care of the proper cost allocation accordingly. Therefore, there is no longer the need to record each cartridge and/or paper package provided to a user.
The efficiency of a print operation is defined by the time that users spend with printing. To increase efficiency, SafeQ provides a wide set of features, including repeated prints, favourite jobs, follow-me functionality, batch-job accounting and more. All unnecessary delays due to waiting for the multi-functional device have been eliminated.
All pages that have been printed, copied and scanned are recorded on the server in a database from which you can, at any time, extract basic information such as number of pages, toner coverage, colouring and print language.
