• 6 Benefits of Secure Pull Printing for Your
  Organization
• Printing documents on a shared network printer in
  the office can be risky, especially if you are
  dealing with confidential or sensitive content.
  The last thing you want to happen is for someone
  else to grab your confidential documents,
  misplace them, or dispose of them because you
  were unable to get them promptly. Pull printing
  can help prevent these problems because it allows
  you to release the print job only when you are
  ready to print on your preferred printer.
• To implement pull printing in your organization,
  you need to print control software that can
  securely send print jobs to a printer and allow
  users to authenticate and release the actual
  printed document from the device. Its even more
  important to consider investing in a pull
  printing solution for your company when you have
  multiple users sharing one or more printers, or
  if your users tend to send print jobs directly
  from their mobile devices to shared printers.
• Pull printing technology is not entirely new, but
  some print control software solutions have
  improved and reinvented it to make it even more
  cost-effective, scalable, and reliable for every
  type of organization. Here are the benefits you
  can expect from it
• Print securely
• When you require authentication at the printer,
  you provide an extra layer of security to
  safeguard corporate data and other critical
  information. The system virtually ensures that
  there are no physical prints abandoned or
  forgotten at the printer, and that only the
  person who authenticated the print job can get
  the documents.
• Reduced waste
• Printing produces approximately 20 percent of
  waste. Pull printing can minimize this by
  preventing the print and forget habit, whereby
  users print documents only to forget that they
  already sent out the print job, and end up
  printing the documents again. Pull printing also
  helps save on ink, toner, as well as
  electricity. By reducing at least 1/3 of print
  waste, your company can also save on printing
  costs overall.
• Reduce printing-related support issues and
  troubleshooting
• Apart from password resets, tech support and IT
  teams often have to deal with printing problems.
  You can minimize the burden on those teams by
  providing users the capability to release their
  documents from another printer when the device
  they choose is out of service.

• Eliminate additional print servers
• High-quality pull printing solutions require just
  one print server on the network for the whole
  print system. This lets you save money as you no
  longer need to purchase extra hardware for every
  remote location.
• Minimize infrastructure
• Eliminate the need to buy personal or local
  printers that require more consumables and
  maintenance in the long run. With the right pull
  printing solution, every printer on your network
  will be secure.
• Print control software is a great investment to
  enable effective and secure pull-print or print
  release in your organization. Be sure to get the
  right solution that is trusted for providing
  security and efficiency to the printing process.
