Pull Printing can increase the security of confidential and sensitive documents printed in your office. It can be programmed to allow specific output devices to be available for certain employees, control Print volumes, and monitor consumable use. It ensures that the documents in the printer queue are not automatically printed until the user who wants it printed passes all authentication procedures.

Used correctly, pull printing is a good investment for businesses that are looking to enhance their workflow and productivity while reducing costs and increasing security across their organization. Aside from establishing a secure print system, here are more ways by which pull printing can be beneficial to your workplace:

1. Ensure document security

Every organization deals with confidential documents that may need to be printed at some point. If physical copies of those documents end up in the wrong hands or are seen by unauthorized persons, your business gets exposed to all kinds of risks.

Pull printing allows only authorized users to access and print such documents to prevent data security leaks. Moreover, it enhances security by enabling user authentication at the printer with a smartcard or passcode. The print job is only released when the user is authenticated. Pull printing technologies make it easier to secure print processes in your workplace.

2. Minimize printing costs and boost productivity

Sometimes, you might find yourself printing a lot of pages accidentally. It may seem minor, but it generates waste that can increase printing costs over time. Eliminating one-third of print waste could help cut print costs. Pull printing can help minimize waste when employees release their print jobs only when necessary. This way, the documents are not printed accidentally.

Your office can also enhance its workflow when time and other resources aren’t wasted. It eliminates the need for a user to rush to a printer to get their printouts before someone else does. A user can also securely print as many documents as necessary without waiting for them to go through the print queue and claim on their own time. If a printer isn’t working well, the user can simply visit another printer and pull their documents there instead of waiting for a technician to troubleshoot and help them.

3. Reduce waste

Pull printing allows you to set default secure print profiles to encourage green printing initiatives. Some features allow you to automatically set the printouts to black and white and duplex to save on ink and paper.
