Sharp
introduces accounting
and secure print
solution for OSA MFPs
Sharp has launched a new job accounting
solution that makes it easier for Sharp
customers to monitor and recover printing
costs.
Designed for Sharp OSA 3.0-enabled MFPs, Job
Accounting II (MX-SW310) allows businesses to
track, record and analyse employees’ MFP use. It
also gives more control, for example by restricting
access to copier and scanner settings and by
imposing usage limits and credit controls.
Two optional modules add extra functionality,
including secure print release (the MX-SW311) and
the ability to charge clients directly from a Sharp
MFP (the MX-SW312).
Chris Hale, Solutions Product Marketing
Manager, Sharp UK, said: “We understand that
many businesses struggle to measure and control
the true cost of creating documents. Our new
software is designed to optimise efficiency by
helping businesses gain greater visibility over
document workflows and, where possible, recover
their print and scan costs.”
SCC wins NHS smartcard contract
SCC has been awarded a three-year contract to work with
the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) to
provide specialist smartcard printers across its
NHS estate.
SCC, in partnership with Essentra Security, Europe’s
leading provider of ID solutions, will help HSCIC, the national
provider of information, data and IT systems for health and
social care, to modernise the NHS’s estate of printers used for
authorising and issuing ID smartcards.
From April 2015, SCC will start installing Magicard Enduro+
custom printers across all regional health service establishments
throughout England and Wales and integrate them with a new
card management system developed by HSCIC.
130 million and counting
Brother UK registered 130 million prints on
its iPrint&Scan app in 2014, up 97% on the
previous year. The app enables iPhone, Android or
Windows Phone users to scan to and print from
a Brother printer connected to the same network.
More than 4.4 million users have downloaded
the app, printing an average of 3 pages per user,
per month.
