In addition to all safety, security and other printing features, Sentinel is truly universal cross-platform printing solution.
Sentinel uses UPD (Universal Print Driver) in order to simplify the printing process and to make maintenance easier for the organization. Users can release their jobs form any printer in Sentinel.
In addition, Sentinel uses its own client software (APClient), EMF (Enhanced Metafile) or PDF (Portable Document Format) to ensure printing in any environment or network architecture.
A print job is never lost or corrupted.
Multi-vendor support is possible for any network architecture, all types, brands, vendors, and models of printers / MFDs. No compatibility issues, the output is intact in any scenario.
Sentinel also uses scripts to customize different events in the printing process, like when reading user’s card, on sending the job to print or releasing the job from the printer, activating special script each X hours, etc. Each organization can build such scripts according to their printing needs.
Unlike most print management software Sentinel has no problems handling most complicated network or printing environment.
Secure printing is possible even if the connection to the server is lost or interrupted.
Any kind and quantity of output can be handled as well as any data source (Windows, MAC, SAP, Unix, Mainframe, etc.).
Sentinel print management software does not slow down printing process.
No additional printing software required:
- Complete multilanguage support – any encoding or character set (for example Arabic, Cyrillic, Japanese, Hebrew or any other) is supported.
- Sentinel uses traffic less printing when only metadata is sent, to avoid any kind of bandwidth limitations.
- An additional layer of information (text, graphics, watermark etc.) can be added to the output without any additional software.
- SaveToner algorithms can be applied to any kind of output (text or graphics), leaving bitmaps intact.
- Various authentication methods can be used, it is possible to integrate Sentinel with existing authentication methods already used in the organization.
- The controller can be embedded in the printer, installed as an external device or AP client software can be used for user authentication.
Reduced technical support need:
- With Sentinels' end-user print management portal, in conjunction with pull printing technology, users are empowered to take control of their own print management.
- Technical support and system installation and setup are performed by the developer team itself, remotely.
