RoutXpress Print Audit Software

RoutXpress is a rule-based, print job routing software product. RoutXpress is the tool that a Network Administrator needs to better manage his printing network. RoutXpress starts by discovering all the printers on the network, including PC local printers. It tracks print jobs and produces reports showing usage and cost by printer, user, and groups of users. This information is important to the Administrator as he tries to get a handle on the total print cost, and to understand how to best utilize the print capabilities. The Administrator’s goal is to optimize the network printing capabilities so all jobs are printed economically and expeditiously. RoutXpress can help do this. RoutXpress can also increase the users productivity by routing all print jobs to the best printer as defined by the Administrator. Users can send any type of document and RoutXpress will route the print job to the best printer! If a printer stops functioning for any reason (paper jam, out of paper, out of toner, mechanically “down”) RoutXpress will automatically re-route the print jobs to the NEXT best printer as defined by the Administrator’s pre-defined rules.

If and when RoutXpress does re-route a print job, it notifies the user telling him which printer printed the job and when the job is finished printing. This way the user does not waste time going to the wrong printer or standing around waiting for the print job to finish printing.

RoutXpress also includes security features that allow only the Network Administrator to create, modify, or delete, the rules. Predefined rules can initiate email notification to the Administrator, remote technical support, and service personnel when certain conditions such as printer down, out of paper, out of toner, etc. are detected.
