Colour Access Policy Manager (CAPM)
24/01/2011
Get the impact of Colour on your print output — not your printing budget.
You’ve already decided that the advantages of in-house color printing would greatly benefit your business but you are concerned that colour printing costs could spiral out of control. OKI has addressed these concerns with the utility Color Access Policy Manager (CAPM). And whats more OKI has designed the utility so you dont have to be an IT expert to use it!
You make the rules
You create the policies and make the rules for printing:
Print customer-facing documents such as corporate marketing materials, presentations, contracts and signage in colour.
Force reference material and internal reports to print in mono.
Reject the print of non office related items such as personal pictures and emails.
CAPM lets you assign access levels by user log-in name, PC/server name, application, file name, and URLs (Web sites). Once your policy is configured in the printer, CAPM determines how - or if - incoming jobs will print.
Track printer usage
Working together with your OKI printer, CAPM gives you the ability to acquire print job logs which enables you to monitor and analyse how the prtinting devices are being used - everything from user name to application to the number of colour or mono pages printed. It’s data you can use to develop new policies or judge the effectiveness of your existing policies.
