Print On Demand
WHAT WE LIKED:
•
Viewing documents either from the desktop or from the
touch screen as with zoom-in capabilities is a valuable
feature. The user can read the document data prior to
printing, reducing errors when documents are stored
without personal naming convention.
•
Combining multiple files into a single job can make
multi-author tasks easier to manage.
•
Attaching documents stored in the Document Server to
outgoing communications can be a valuable time-saver.
The walk-up user only has to scan in a personalized,
accompanying letter rather than having to scan the
entire document.
•
Permission of documents allows the time saving
functionality of print on demand to be used without
jeopardizing security or confidentiality of information.
•
Sophisticated search and retrieve functionality,
including the ability to filter by user name, makes finding
documents in heavily used repositories faster than
some rival devices.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
•
The ability to create personal folders within the
Document Server rather than using the flat storage
design would aid in organization.
•
Productivity would be increased by adding the ability to
create collated batch jobs from Document Server where
a selection of documents are printed as a batch set, but
are treated as individual pieces that should be finished
in isolation.
•
The ability to include finishing and document production
attributes to the file during save removes the time
consuming need for users to enter finishing details
every time a job is reprinted.
•
Documents stored on the Document Server from the
Print or Copy functions must be pulled to the desktop
using the File Convert utility, and it must be resaved
and resubmitted prior to being scanned to different
destinations. The ability to directly route copy and print
stored documents to scan destinations would add
functionality.
•
Editing capabilities such as touch up, text addition,
redaction, or highlighter using the touch screen
interface would allow users to make quick, ad hoc
changes to a stored file before reprinting or sending.
•
Print on demand from portable media sources like USB
memory sticks or SD cards is a useful feature that lets
walk-up users take advantage of the device in airport
terminals, hotel business lounges, or Internet cafes.
