Print Release Station

Did you know the Copicode IP can be configured as a Print Release only terminal?

The default behaviour then becomes:

  • A user sends their job or jobs to the Find Me or any printer set up as a hold release queue.
  • The user then authenticates at the Copicode-IP (usually with a swipe reader or proximity card)
  • All print jobs are then released and the Copicode-IP display returns to the Logon Screen.

This mode is useful if you only require the print release function and ideally suited to swipe or prox release environments.

Got a Copicode IP and want to test it out? then select mode 6 when installing.

Any questions just ask.

•Added feature to allow real-time lookup of a user’s card/ID number in an external database.

PaperCut Introduces Find-Me Printing

Find Me printing solves the problem of finding the closest printer from a long list of available printers. It is a roaming print service that allows print jobs to find users based on their physical location. It’s sometimes referred to as “Pull Printing”, “Push Printing” or “Follow Me” printing. It’s a great solution for large sites operating a common printer fleet.
