A copy is made on a Lexmark MFP by authenticating with the Sentinel print server system using the Sentinel embedded application (software printing controller). This system of authentication ensures that printing, scanning and copying is secure, and that all jobs are tracked and logged. Green computing policies can thus be enforced.
Users will love Sentinel due to its ease of use, and IT staff will love Sentinel due to its ease of implementation. Sentinels pull-printing method will reduce wastage, and with its built-in green toner policies available for customization, the costs surrounding paper and toner are able to be reduced substantially.
The embedded Sentinel application will ensure the printer in question will only be able to be used after authentication has taken place.
