Advanced FeaturesAdvanced Featuresh Find-Me printing is a roaming print service that allows print

jobs to find users based on their physical location. It's sometimes referred to as "Pull Printing", "Push Printing" or "Follow Me" printing. It's a great solution for large sites operating a common printer fleet.

h Location Aware Users simply print to a single global virtual queue, and through the use of VCC terminals or print release stations Print-trac knows which printers are nearby, and can pick the best one without bothering the user with the details.

h Using filters and restrictions Print-trac offers advanced filter options to provide network administrators with the ability to filter or restrict print jobs using a set of rules. Restrictions can be based on cost, page count, paper size, color, file name or extension and duplicate jobs.
