Equitrac Office (a.k.a. PrintLog Accounting Server -- PAS) offers a complete solution to track costs and manage hardcopy expenses associated with printing and copying. The advanced architecture allows you to configure, monitor and manage document accounting across several remote sites using a single server. PAS leverages the advanced PageControl Stations, which restrict users from any walk-up activity until a valid billing code is entered. Once the codes are validated, users may proceed with their transactions, which are then tracked with the appropriate billing information. The performance achieved by the PageControl Stations, along with the high-performance ODBC-compliant database (Microsoft JET or SQL Server), allow PrintLog Accounting Server to manage a large number of printers on each server. Equitrac Office provides robust reporting tools so organizations can analyze the document production activity of their users, determine which devices are over or under utilized or recognize peak usage periods. PAS can help you control who is printing, how much they print and which printers they use. Further, with the addition of the Client Billing module(s), it can be used to track and charge back for office equipment usage by account.

Integrating with major Time and Billing packages, PAS also allows for terminal configuration, data back-ups and even validation to be handled for all sites from a single location. PAS can account for separate color and black & white printing and copying as well as different paper sizes

Additional modules add to the flexibility:
Client Billing
When a document is printed or copied, the user must enter an account code for tracking purposes, enabling bill back to the customer.

Desktop Printing
Locally attached desktop printers are often an enormous unmanaged, untracked cost. The desktop printing option enables Equitrac Office to gather the data associated with these prints so you may manage these costs.

Secure Printing
Print jobs are held at the print server and allows the user to release the document when they arrive at the device, protecting against unauthorized users reading or removing confidential documents. Also, if the device is busy, the user can "pull" the document to a similar device nearby and receive it without having to wait.
