Canon uniFLOW Software
uniFLOW overview
What is uniFLOW?
uniFLOW is a software platform designed to bring the full value of Canon multi-functional devices to your organisation.
The modular structure of uniFLOW document output manager and the tight integration with Canon Samiltonss allows the system to be built depending on the organisation’s exact requirements. By controlling both the print and scanning processes of the Samiltons, uniFLOW allows the IT manager to administer one system with one set of user accounts and one database.
The users have a seamless interaction with the Canon Samiltons, being able to access all features without learning a new interface or having to re-authenticate every time they want to use a new function. This makes the system exceptionally user-friendly and increases the organisation’s productivity.
Accounting & Auditing
The built in reporting system allows the administrator or finance department to see and control how much each printer and user is costing the company.
This information can be used as part of a print audit or managed print service to help decide future printer purchases or to identify where cost savings can be made.
Mobile Secure Printing
Both environmental and financial waste are also eliminated as documents are automatically deleted if they have not been released after a specified time, rather than gathering dust on the printer’s output tray. User productivity is increased by allowing users to submit and release jobs via their smart phone or other mobile device.
Enhanced Security
For example, certain users may only be allowed to copy in black and white where others can copy in colour. For maximum security, an image record of every copy, print, fax or scan performed on the Canon device can be stored and examined for keywords or known document structures.
Job Routing
Jobs can have their finishing options changed depending on certain rules, for example emails are always printed in black and white while large documents are always double sided, decreasing costs and waste.
Document Capture
Scanned documents can be processed to free the information contained, allowing them to automatically pre-fill index information or to be converted to a format, such as Microsoft Word, allowing the user to edit the document when back at their PC .
Follow-Me Print
Users working outside the office or company network can send jobs to the secure print queue via email, via an internet portal or directly from their mobile device. As the users can choose any printer on the network to release the job, regardless of model or manufacturer, the uniFLOW Universal Printer Driver ensures that the output is exactly as the user expects.
Once the users are ready to collect their secure print jobs, they need to authenticate at the printer using a proximity card, smart card, magnetic swipe card, PIN number, fingerprint or username and password. A list of jobs
