Introduction
With the KIP Track Configuration application, you can take a significant step to change your document
services from costs into profits. By enabling tracking for all printing, copying and scanning jobs, it ensures all
work is charged to the appropriate user, department or project. So not only are all costs accounted for, but at
the same time, can be used for accurate reimbursement from project owners.
Engineers and Architects need a
way to bill back printing for particular projects or departments.
FM suppliers need a way to easily produce reports at the end of the month to review the print and scan
volumes. KIP Track features built in to every KIP printer allow companies to control costs of copying, scan-to-file
and network printing of wide format data. Configuration of data and “rules” takes place in KIP Print or at the
KIP. Rules allow for “requiring” the user to select specific data and provide a password to use the KIP Track
data. All KIP software applications can utilize one set of KIP Track data that is configured remotely then
uploaded to the controller inside the KIP printer. Those KIP Track rules and data then transfer down to the KIP
suite of applications: KIP Touchscreen copy, print and scan applications, KIP Print, KIP Color Pro and Advance
(copy, print, and scan-to-file), KIP PrintNET, KIP AutoCAD Driver, KIP RIP and the KIP Windows Driver. Usage
information is automatically collected by the KIP during regular printing. Production reports can be created
from the data using the KIP Print software or via the ASCII data when it is imported into any spreadsheet
•
The KIP is the hub of the system; responsible for storing the KIP Track data and collecting the information
after printing/copying/scan-to-file is complete.
•
Each KIP software component obtains the KIP Track data and uses the “rules” to allow printing.
