PrintCapture software tracks printing on Mac and Windows platforms.
Once installed, PrintCapture displays a small dialog box when common print drivers are used to print postscript. This dialog box allows users to enter a job number to complete printing. With this software, you can also configure printer resources, requiring users to enter a password before printing.
One of the best features of PrintCapture is the central database, where all the data is collected. This database can be easily accessed using CaptureWorks Manager, which simplifies the access to all print data and provides a powerful way to create useful reports. You can easily summarize printing activity, create custom reports, export data as .csv, XML, or custom formats, or just view printing activity periodically.
PrintCapture comes with several features that make it stand out from the crowd. These features include the ability to distinguish color and non-color for the same printer, bill by size (English or Metric) or by square foot or meter, and work hand-in-hand with CUPS Unix printing system in OS X. Additionally, it is highly secure, cannot be disabled by user, and allows for a client pop-up menu and data to be sent to the database.
Another great feature of PrintCapture is its deployment options. You can choose from several styles of print tracking modes, including job number-required, stealth, or added security requiring a password for each print job. This software also allows cross-platform functionality, enabling tracking from Windows to Mac or Mac to Windows Manager.
PrintCapture is constantly updated to improve its functionalities. The latest release comes with better background processing of unsent logs, all outstanding network issues solved, the ability to target particular departments when adding jobs remotely, and more options for creating reports and saving report presets.
In conclusion, PrintCapture is a great software for monitoring printing activities. Its features, ease of use and constant updates make it the perfect solution for anyone looking to collect data, reduce printing costs, improve security, and generate customized reports.
