YSoft SafeQ Instant Edition centralizes your company’s print environment, enabling you to monitor and control the cost of print and copy operations.
YSoft SafeQ collects data about all your company’s reprographic processes and produces comprehensive, customized reports tailored to your needs. With the knowledge provided by YSoft SafeQ, you can optimize printer usage, distribute the job load, and eliminate unnecessary printers— reducing equipment acquisition and maintenance costs.
With the YSoft SafeQ Follow-Me feature, employees can send documents to print queues from their desks; then print the documents on any convenient network printer or multifunction printer— anywhere in the company. And because documents are not printed until the user authenticates at the printer, printed documents do not remain waiting there to be collected, helping ensure the security of sensitive information.
The YSoft SafeQ Instant solution has been chosen by companies like yours in more than 53 countries around the globe, making Y Soft a leader in print and copy system management.
The Follow-me feature helps to efficiently distribute the use of printers and MFPs throughout the company and reduces the time employees spend waiting in lines. Users send print jobs to YSoft SafeQ queues and can then print the jobs at any convenient printer—the print job “follows” the user to any printer.
Follow-me protects the security of confidential documents because documents are not printed until employees use their ID card to authenticate at the printer—so printed documents do not wait unattended at printers.
YSoft SafeQ provides customized reports about all printing and copying operations, in easy-to-read, text-based or graphical 3D chart format. Reports provide detailed information about users, printers and costs. YSoft SafeQ reports give you the knowledge you need to take charge and control your printing environment.
The user-friendly YSoft SafeQ Web Interface enables you to easily monitor and manage all aspects of your company’s print environment. The familiar, web-based interface makes it easy to instantly navigate to the YSoft SafeQ feature you want to use.
YSoft SafeQ Instant includes two features you can configure to help automate the reduction of printing costs: Force B/W enables you to enforce black-ink-only printing; Force Duplex enforces printing on both sides. While both functions offer users the option to override them, these two functions help individual employees and entire departments lower their printing and copying costs.
With YSoft SafeQ Instant quotas, you can curb costs by limiting print and copy operations. You can set quotas for individuals, departments, or printers that limit the amount and type of operations that can be performed for specified lengths of time (for example, monthly).
YSoft SafeQ can automatically notify users via email when their quota limits are about to be reached. Email notifications provide users with information about their printing and copying services to date, heightening employees’ awareness of their printing and copying usage so they can help control costs.
YSoft SafeQ Instant was developed as a low-cost solution for small- and mid-sized companies who need to centralize and manage their printing and copying systems to reduce costs. YSoft SafeQ enables you to accurately pinpoint the cost of your company’s printing and copying operations so you can optimize every aspect of your print environment. You will begin to realize savings immediately after implementing YSoft SafeQ and recover your investment quickly, typically within a few months.
YSoft SafeQ Instant utilizes the familiar and intuitive Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) application, so installation is simple and fast. Features such as auto-detection of embedded terminals speed the process and help you quickly get the system up and running. And with YSoft SafeQ Instant, system configuration is largely pre-set, further reducing installation and implementation time.
YSoft SafeQ Instant is compatible with Active Directory and CSV files, so you can efficiently and accurately import and export user data. You can use MS Excel to edit database information such as adding/deleting users or cost centers, passwords, and email addresses.
YSoft SafeQ Instant can replicate the structure of user and cost center data as it exists in your current Active Directory—so it is not necessary to create a separate YSoft SafeQ database from scratch.
