Using the MDS solution in your faculty and administration areas enables you to:
Implement user-level job accounting, to account for and price copy and print jobs by attribute, device, and volume.
Calculate the real cost of campus reprographics at each location for each device, user, and transaction.
Achieve cost recovery by charging back print and copy output to departments by user name or ID number, department, or project code.
Provide detailed reports of user print and copy activity, which facilitate fact-based decisions about your university printing services environment.
