Reporting provides details about device usage, costs, users and impact on the environment (also known as "Green Reporting"). The information can be then used to further optimize the print environment.
Print and Copy Management
Managing printing and copying behavior is possible through several means - Rule-Based Printing (administrator defines rules which are applied to print jobs), Print Roaming (allow end-users to pick up their print jobs anywhere in the YSoft SafeQ environment, managing print jobs at the terminal (e.g. reprinting, choosing favorite jobs to be kept), sharing or delegating print jobs with other users.

Scan Management
YSoft SafeQ allows users to choose one of the default scan workflows right after installation - sending scanned documents to user's email address or home folder. To simplify internal business workflows, scan-to-script capability can be used together with custom scripts to e.g. send the scanned data into another system for further processing or archiving.
