The main features of Sentinel™:
- Enables printing only after identification of the user by placing a card, typing a code, or releasing the print job from a web interface.
- Counts and controls the number of pages printed by each user, and optionally types a billing code in addition to the user name (for customer billing purposes).
- Transfers a print job automatically from one printer to another (sending a print to printer A and passing a card at the device near printer B will cause the print job to automatically be printed by printer B, next to the user).
- Enables setting a print quota for each user, and prevents printing by users who have used up their black/white or color quota.
- Enables defining a printer as accessible to specific users only, and as accessible to all users excluding a specific user group.
- Includes comprehensive web interface, enabling user control over print jobs submitted but not yet released, including the ability to cancel, delay, and release print jobs.
- Enables management reports, sorted by predefined parameters, such as how many pages each user printed, how many pages were printed by a specific printer, etc.
- Sends to the system administrator by email on-line warnings and errors upon occurrence of certain events, such as use of an unauthorized card.
- Sends the print request to the printer.
