Detailed reportSummary report
The Statistics module in uniFLOW tracks
printing and copying made on both network
and local devices
information in a database for later reporting.
Printers can be assigned up to four price
profiles, to allow, for example, the finance
department to track internal costs, external
costs and the profit made for every page
printed or copied. For companies who need
to charge back costs to clients, users can be
prompted to select a multi-level cost centre
when printing or copying.
Over 40 standard reports are included in
uniFLOW to show the data in a variety of
different ways as required by the
administrator or finance department.
Reports can be scheduled to run
automatically and email the data to specific
people on a regular basis. New custom
reports can be written using Crystal Reports
and imported directly into uniFLOW to
extend the reporting capabilities to meet the
organisation’s exact needs.

Organisations need to understand how their printing budget
is being spent in order to control costs. Service organisations,
such as lawyers, need to track printing made on behalf of
specic clients in order to charge back costs. Schools and
universities need to ensure students have sufcient funds
available before they make any prints or copies, while allowing
staff to work without restrictions.

The Statistics module includes reports
showing the savings made by organisations
using uniFLOW as part of their print strategy.
In most organisations, hundreds of pages
of paper are thrown away from output trays,
that have been printed but not collected by
the user. uniFLOW can reduce this waste by
storing jobs securely on the print server and
only releasing them when the user has
authenticated at the device
and environmental savings resulting from
this print reduction can be displayed in a
statistics report. Any job that has been routed
from an expensive laser printer to a cheaper
multi functional device or that has been
denied authorisation
the savings reports.
