For office managers who want more from their print services, Ricoh’s new print management software has some excellent updates that help provide greater control, further reduce running costs and increase green credentials across the board.

DocQManager Version 8 is available for all Ricoh’s latest models and provides a higher level of functionality, including the opportunity to link in with some well-known accounting packages for better audit control. For office managers who want a more flexible software solution to their needs, Version 8 offers greater power and control at the touch of a button.

Ease of use is the order of the day with Ricoh’s software, enabling print managers to integrate across the whole business environment, providing real time control, access to print jobs remotely and greater insight into the development of appropriate print strategies that save on costs and increase productivity.

Major features of the new DocQManager Version 8 software include:

• Electronic job ticketing and web submission that makes automation easy for submitting documents. It means managers can access printers remotely, from anywhere through cloud based services, making better use of time and resources and control those more important jobs that need quicker processing.
• One of the major areas of wastage in any office is printing out documents that are not quite ready. The DocQManager software allows users to preview and re-print so that documents can be better reviewed and amended prior to processing. It saves on resources and time with easy access for all users.
• DocQManager has a number of features that are designed to make printing faster and more economical including clustering devices so that large print rooms can get through work quicker and automated load balancing that makes sure that the time allocated for any print job is significantly reduced.
• For office managers that have large, regular jobs the DocQManager allows them to designate particular printers for certain tasks, taking away the need for manual printing and releasing staff for more important work and therefore improving productivity.

One of the great new features in Version 8 is the OneQSolution which closely links your business to the print room. It uses a universal print driver to push the next job to the most economic printer according to your own pre-set parameters. This universal print driver gives users access to all the advanced options that you could need and links in closely with accounting and tracking software for cost recovery.

The new DocQManager links in with a variety of accounting software making print management highly flexible and allowing businesses to operate in a more sustainable way. These include accounting packages such as PCounter, Papercut, Equitrak and Safecom so that office and print managers get one touch access to how their office strategies are working.

With greater usability, the DocQManager Version 8 provides the opportunity for many offices to expand their print management and help further reduce the costs both in terms of real money and their impact on the environment.
