Moreover, the software allows users to use various types of identification systems. It can be easily integrated with biometric devices such as fingerprint sensors, card readers using contact-less and magnetic cards and keyboard PIN identification.

It also allows administrators to efficiently maximize output resources. In addition, administrators and managers are able to set control perimeters on the types of print jobs each employee is able to perform.
