QRs

AXIAR enables the ability to integrate data-driven QR codes into any document processed with our data conversion and print management software. For example, you can link payment processing on invoices or digital coupons on statements to reduce paper-intensive processes while improving business processes.

HP recently suggested some QR ideas here - what QRs would help your business thrive?

Barcodes and Other Specialized Fonts

Documents or labels that are printed on specialized barcode printers create an extra burden on IT staff and incur a separate service cost for specialized printers.

Using any PCL laser printer, AXIAR can easily add virtually any barcode or font (such as UPC, Codabar, PostNet, MICR, etc.) to any document based on data-driven variables. This approach reduces the amount of printers/devices on your network, which decreases the amount of power/energy consumed as well as the amount of consumables required for barcode processes.

Without AXIAR, barcode printing is often a complicated and fragmented routine: each business unit that needs barcodes must purchase and implement a solution unique to its needs; this often requires extra steps to merge printed documents with barcodes which can lead to errors and costly reprints.

Some of the business processes that use barcodes and routinely require dedicated, isolated and costly print environments include:

·         Pick tickets and shipping documents (UPC, Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, etc.)

·         Bin tags and shelf labels (UPC, EAN, MSI/Plessey)

·         Accounts payable for checks (MICR - requires MICR toner)

·         Payroll for checks (MICR - requires MICR toner)

·         Mail rooms for bulk mailings (PostNet)

·         Inter-office document tracking (Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, etc.)

·         Event registration/scanning (PDF417/2-Dimensional)

·         Product labeling (UPC, EAN)

Now consider that all of the above processes can be addressed using AXIAR. IT staff can centrally manage barcode and font standards and ensure that the amount of hardware devices they are required to support are kept to a manageable minimum.

In addition, since AXIAR does not require cumbersome DIMMs or other hardware-resident components, documents that require barcodes can be sent to any network PCL printer. No more lost print jobs or delays waiting for dedicated printers to be fixed.

Contact us to learn more about how using AXIAR to create barcodes can accelerate your business-critical document processes and reduce IT help-desk calls.

A Costly Nuisance, A Simple Solution

Recently I read about a virus that causes unwanted prints (http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/1112644037/office-printers-succumb-to-virus/). Although I think we should focus on Dwight Schrute from “The Office” as the source of the virus (he’s a paper salesman if you’re not a fan of the show), now that the virus has infected machines it got me thinking about how AXIAR can help:

-        AXIAR prevents unwanted prints by holding jobs;

-        Thresholds can be set up to enable prints for (say) jobs of less than 20 pages automatically but hold jobs with 20 or more pages;

-        An email alert can be sent to the job originator as well as a System Administrator who has access to the jobs on hold;

-        AXIAR collects metrics about user print requests and volumes, easily allowing you to identify who is sending the offending print jobs.

If you have not done so already, this situation could be a good time to assess user print volumes. The data from this assessment can tell you the best way to use your print resources and the optimal way to configure AXIAR to manage print streams. We would be happy to assist you with any assessment or implementation considerations – simply contact us to discuss your requirements. At a minimum, using AXIAR can help reduce wasted prints and identify if someone has a virus that is forcing prints.
