ExtremeZ-IP print module

Group Logic today announced , a new product in its ExtremeZ-IP product line. Expected to ship later this year, it works in conjunction with ExtremeZ-IP Print Server to deliver increased control over enterprise-wide printing through advanced tracking features that more accurately measure and allocate the costs associated with expensive printing resources. The ExtremeZ-IP 4.0 Print Accounting Add-on supports printing via TCP/IP or AppleTalk and is fully compatible with Mac OS X.

"The ability to track, audit and allocate costs associated with printing functions is an important part of our client's business operations," notes T. Reid Lewis, President of Group Logic. "The ExtremeZ-IP Print Accounting Add-on helps customers easily and accurately track operational costs with customer jobs by capturing data at the point of print origin. Through a process of account code validation, digital tracking and central database functions, customers can now measure more precisely the pages printed by project reducing paperwork and the potential loss of unbilled costs."



With ExtremeZ-IP Print Accounting Add-on, users are prompted within the Mac OS X print dialog for project or cost codes prior to output. These codes are immediately validated against a centralized list before printing occurs. Flexibility in account code and validation configurations allows customization for each print queue on a server. The application can export log data--up to 13 fields and five account codes for each job--in tab-delimited format for import into other job-management and accounting programs.
