Output management bEST Personal Print

bEST Personal Print Convenient pull printing

Most document-intensive organisations in environments such as the logistics, manufactur-ing, legal, governmental or the healthcare sector are in need of a simple and straightfor-ward means to print their documents flexibly and efficiently. Other essential requirements in these areas are enhanced printing security and the avoidance of unnecessary printing activities in order to bring printing costs down.

bEST Personal Print is an application designed to enable pull printing on any OpenAPI-capable Konica Minolta systems. The software enables users to print safely on the output device of their choice, helping to reduce print volumes and costs while increasing printing flexibility and docu-ment security.

Instead of being printed immediately, jobs are initially directed to the Personal Print application and stored in a temporary folder. Users can call up their collected print jobs on the panel of any Personal Print-enabled system and select, release and print the job or jobs directly at the device.
