Equitrac, a Plantation, Fla. provider of print management and cost recovery software, has rolled out Equitrac Express and Equitrac Office version 4.2 which aims to reduce document costs, increase document security, and eliminate waste.

“The new version expands the tracking, security and management functionality of Equitrac Office,” said Gaetan Spake, Equitrac’s vice president of product management. “The new features also provide more precise tracking and reporting of print activity so that customers can get the most out of Equitrac’s print management solutions.”

New features include:

• Print Job re-queuing, which can protect privacy while reducing waste by ensuring that jobs will only print while a user is signed into Equitrac. Thus, if a user releases multiple print jobs but they do not print due to a printer problem, the unprinted jobs are sent back to the secure queue when the user logs out.

• Batch print tracking streamlines workflows by enabling users to print a series of jobs and only be prompted for a billing code once.

• Reporting capabilities have been expanded to include user and device location, which means users can now run both detailed and summary reports that can be organized by user, user location, account type, device type and device location.

Specific to Equitrac Express, new features for education organizations include:

• Offline campus card authentication can keep campuses working even when their campus card server is offline for scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Equitrac’s campus card caching permits users to continue to charge printing and copying to their campus card accounts up to a pre-set offline limit.

• Equitrac can now accept student campus card balances managed by ParentPay.
