SafeCom - Environment

Environment-friendly print management

Paper is the main contributor to office waste and office workers around the world use steadily increasing amounts of paper every day. And it’s not good for the environment.

Printing waste is unintentional

Everyone wants to do their bit to protect the environment and nobody wants to waste paper. Most printing waste is unintentional – it’s simply the result of inefficient office printing setups.

Intelligent print management cuts paper waste by 20% or more

SafeCom’s intelligent print management solutions enables companies and organizations to take control of their print chaos and reduce paper waste by 20% or more.

When SafeCom connects your printers to a network, it is possible to control printouts so documents follow users to the printer of their choice. When this happens, there is no more infuriating waste and life is much easier for users too. All they have to do is select Print, go to the printer of choice, punch in their code or use their card, and their documents are printed… with no waste.

SafeCom is for organizations of all sizes, whether you have 2 or 2,000 printers.

Save even more

With additional functionality such as SafeCom’s Rule-Based Printing, administrators can configure printing parameters to save even more paper and printer toner as well. For example: It’s possible to prevent printing in color when users print emails or other Web content, and to make sure documents are printed using both sides of the paper.

One bank has already cut their paper usage by 40% using SafeCom rule-based printing.
