Card systems are nowdays the more reliable and convenient mean to manage
or sell photocopies or copies printed in a Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP environment. |
| For
corporates : |
Two
methods of management are mostly used to track photocopy costs with
card systems
|
- We
speak of "an Account" management when
the person, in charge of the photocopy management, collects the
number of copies made by each of the users at the end of a period
of time (week, month or other). The Cartadis TC4N
allows to use this method due to its memory which stores up to
10000 accounts and its several ways of data collecting. The Copicode,
with its 1000 accounts, also enables such a management.
|
- The
second method of management is to allocate a copy budget to each
user. This budget is first programmed on the magnetic or chip
card by the manager. The card is then debited during copy printing
by the user. The Cartadis TC4N, TC11N and TCP2
work with debit cards which are suited to this
way of management.
|
The
prints printed by network printers are also manageable with debit
cards or with software accounts by the means of the Gespage
server.
|
| For
copy shops : |
The
sale of copies on prepaid cards increases the flow and customer
loyalty. Prepaid cards are debit cards, they can be reloadable (made
of thick plastic) or disposable (made of hard paper). The Cartadis
TC11N is the most suited for this application.
|
| For
educationnal areas : |
The
needs are often double : an account management for the teaching
staff and sales of prepaid cards to the students. The Cartadis
TC4N is the only unit to cover these two requests.
In public libraries, when no staff printed copies have to be accounted
the TC11N is advisable for the photocopiers and
the TCRS with its companion Gespage
print server is recommanded. For printing management or Internet access management with
a single station Cartadis TCPrint and Cartadis TCInternet are
recommended.
