Secure pull printing with mobile device support empowers students, lecturers and administration staff alike to print documents from any device on campus, whilst ensuring that cost controls are in place and budgets don’t spiral out of control.

Students can be set a complimentary quota for black and white and color printouts, or they can purchase credit to be added to their student accounts and linked to Sentinel for ease of administration. This implementation ensures that administrators can effectively control costs up front, whilst maintaining an easy-to-use, self-managed pull-printing interface for students.

Groups may be created with separate policies to enable certain faculties broader discretion in terms of color printouts than others. "Island" organizational units may also be implemented to enable larger faculties, departments or disparate geographic campuses to conduct their own internal administration without being flooded with print and user data from other organizational units.

Self-payment devices can also be linked up to printers so that students can complete print jobs on a pay-as-you-go basis, such as credit card terminals, cash collection interfaces, or even PayPal integration. This ensures that printing services are always available to students regardless of the status of their account balance or quota.
