Pull Printing The Costs Benefits of Deploying
Pull Printing

• If you are looking for a way to enhance the
  productivity and workflow in your office
  particularly where printing is concerned, its
  time to invest in a print managing software
  solution. A reliable and secure pull printing
  system increases privacy and reduces costs in the
  long run.
• Pull printing defined
• In pull printing, a print job requested by a
  specific user will be held on a server
  (server-based) or on a workstation (serverless)
  and released only when that user is in front of
  their preferred printer, ready to collect their
  documents. Authentication is necessary to release
  the print job.
• The entire process is managed by print control
  software, so its very important to choose one
  that is proven reliable, secure, and easy to use.
• The importance of pull printing
• Confidential and important documents should never
  be left in the printing tray for anyone to see
  or take. The main advantage of pull printing is
  that it adds an extra layer of security in office
  environments where printers are shared. Pull
  printing with the right print managing software
  can help reduce security breaches by ensuring
  that only authorized users can execute print jobs
  and take the documents they printed.
• Costs and benefits of pull printing
• Aside from ensuring secure printing practices,
  pull printing can help cut costs and provide many
  other benefits for the organization
• Minimize printing waste A traditional shared
  printing environment does not only produce a lot
  of wasteit is also expensive.
• Imagine this An employee sends a print job to a
  printer. They get up from their chair and walk
  towards the location of the machine, but they are
  interrupted along the way by other things that
  need their immediate attention. Their documents
  end up sitting in the tray, waiting to be picked
  up. But the employee forgets about the document,
  and the next user throws it in the bin to make
  way for their own printing job. The document has
  to be printed again, translating to wasted money
  and resources.

• Eliminate local printers With pull printing,
  you do not have to maintain individual printers
  for each workstation or office, thereby reducing
  overall costs. You can also implement shared
  printers more securely with print control
  software.
• Enhance productivity Without pull printing,
  employees have to rush to their preferred
  printer to claim their confidential documents
  before someone else sees them. If a printer is
  not working or the queue is too long, this can
  mean lots of wasted time and frustration. Pull
  printing eliminates all these issues. If a
  printer is not working, the job can easily be
  transferred to a different machine.
• Finally, pull printing can reduce the need for
  troubleshooting and maintenancethereby reducing
  costs. When your print managing software
  successfully reduces printing problems, you and
  your team are less likely to call the helpdesk
  and waste time waiting for a technician to fix
  an issue.
