With your attention focussed on achieving your business, educational or creative goals, it is easy to lose sight of the less obvious expenses, such as your printing costs. To help you monitor and manage the money you are spending in the daily course of your business, Ricoh introduces the Printer Cost & Security Manager (PCSM) business application.
Printer Cost & Security Manager consists of a basic accounting module and a security add-on. It is the perfect answer to the problem of secure printing and effective print(er) cost management on your Windows® NT, Novell® Netware® or UNIX® print server-based network. Printer Cost & Security Manager also supports printers that are connected directly to the client's PC by using the parallel port. This highly advanced Ricoh software package provides unmatched functionality at an affordable price and is the first comprehensive, mid-range printer management system under the Windows® NT environment. While PAS, the base module of the Printer Cost & Security Manager, is a great help when it comes to controlling your printing costs, the ACM option (Aficio™ Counter Manager) provides total output volume (copies, prints and faxes), per defined period, and counter information on Aficio™ based devices. It can be utilised for remote counter management (leasing/facilities) or internal accounting. Additionally, it creates handy detailed reports.
