EAM uses bidirectional communication with a server application to let you
control who has access to the different features of your MFP. You might want
to restrict the use of colour to certain individuals or workgroups, for instance,
to keep costs down. Once the operator logs on at the front panel display he or
she is able to use the features for which they have been individually authorised.
EAM can also report usage statistics back to the server application, making it
ideal for analysing costs by individual and department, and for cross-charging
or billing where appropriate.
Ideal for
Any organisation that wants to control or track the use of its MFPs, reduce costs,
analyse and/or charge for usage, or improve document security.
Application example
The External Accounting Module makes it easy to keep a precise record of individual
usage. Any business, such as a firm of lawyers, for example, that is in the practice of
billing clients for the copying, printing, scanning or faxing documents could use the
information it records to prepare accurate invoices.
