Print Assistant

Print Assistant is an Equitrac option which consists of a bundle of features designed to prompt users when they submit print requests. These features are Cost Preview, User Authentication, Job Rename, and Release Key.

• Cost Preview provides a summary of the print request cost prior to sending the job to the printer and prior to recording the transaction in CAS. Users can accept or cancel transactions before printing. See Cost Preview.
• User Authentication, also called Prompt for Login, prompts the user to enter their login credentials whenever they submit a print request to a device monitored by Equitrac. This feature prevents unauthorized users from printing to monitored network printers. See Prompt for Login.
• Job Rename lets users assign a new, unique name to a document when they submit a print request. In an environment where a release device is implemented to queue documents to a printer, the walk-up user or print-desk staff are able to quickly identify any specific print request by its new name. See Cost Preview.
• Release Keys let users assign an alphanumeric key value to their document when they submit a print request. When the user needs to identify their document in the secure print queue, they can look for their document by the release key number. See Release Key Prompt. Release Keys are not compatible with Client Billing nor Prompt for Login. Do not install these options on the same user workstation.
