Canon Middle East promotes print savings through new uniFLOW Output Manager 4.0

Developed by NT-Ware, uniFLOW OM 4.0 allows businesses to save money through efficient print processes, while also granting greater control over print security.

For the first time, users can print to a PCL or Postscript device from a single universal printer driver, eliminating potentially expensive administrative costs. uniFLOW OM 4.0's My Print Anywhere function enables users to send a job to print without worrying whether the device is PCL or Postscript. Employees will not waste valuable time re-sending incorrect jobs as the new universal driver manages the output conversion.

uniFLOW OM 4.0 also enables businesses to be more efficient in the way that they print. Users can walk up to a multifunctional device and print their documents through a secure central server. Users can also preview print jobs, amend the number of copies required, change the finishing options and select alternative ink options (i.e. colour or black-and-white) at Canon multifunctional devices. In this way, users can save time as they do not need to return to their workstation to re-send their print jobs.

uniFLOW OM 4.0 also features a pop-up tool which calculates the cost of each print job and identifies an alternative device which will process the job at a lower cost. This information enables users to gain a greater understanding of the cost of printing, and to select the most appropriate and cost-effective print device for that particular job.

Nicholas van Santen, Canon Business Solutions Marketing Manager, Canon Middle East, says:

"Today, more and more our customers are demanding increased control of their pritning costs. uniFLOW OM 4.0 enables users to control their print spending whle at the same time adding greater security to sensitive company information."

"Canon is committed to providing its customers with powerful solutions that make a real difference to the way businesses operate. Be it through increased print efficiency and time savings, or enabling heightened control over the costs of printing, the introduction of uniFLOW OM 4.0 can positively impact a business's bottom line," Nicholas added.

uniFLOW OM 4.0 also offers integration with eCopy, the leading suite of document management software. eCopy users can also manage their output through a familiar interface, promoting ease of use. Print jobs held on the server can be viewed, released or deleted through the additional eCopy connector, eCopy Secure Print Client.

The uniFLOW OM 4.0 is available now from Canon partners across the Middle East.
