WalkUp printing allows users to put print jobs on hold and releases them to a desired printer.
WalkUp is a virtual print queue that includes group of physical printers. The jobs sent to a WalkUp printer are put on hold by the iPrint for OES server and can be released to a desirable printer.
Benefits:
Flexibility to print from any printer: Allows users to print documents to any printer. Even if a printer is unavailable, user can select another printer and collect the printout.
Simplified User Printing: User no longer needs to install multiple printers. Installing a single WalkUp printer will allow the user to release documents to multiple printers.
Saves Paper: Many times a user gives print and forgets to collect the documents from the printer. WalkUp printing prevents such accidental and unwanted prints by putting the job on hold and also automatically deletes any dormant jobs. The users can now print or cancel the hold job as per their convenience.
Enhanced Security: Users have to authenticate and then only the documents can be released. This ensures confidentiality of the document is maintained and only the owner collects the document.
