Wasted paper, missed chargebacks and excessive printing all cost money. Print Copy Scan (PCS) Director from LANIER® helps recover these costs by providing a more detailed picture of — and tighter control over — document-driven activity. With centralized management and three independent modules, PCS Director makes it easy to reduce total cost of ownership, improve processes and create a more cost-effective document environment.

• Save time by automatically gathering all the document-related data you need, around the clock and behind the scenes, including a system benchmark.
• Capture every detail by tracking up to 25 different functions — including color use, users, page output and more.
• Gain new insight with detailed reports that identify under- and over-utilized devices, high-volume users and other potential issues.
  • Choose from 35 reports that detail user, date and time, device, costs and more.
  • Use the Executive Summary to monitor volume by job, pages, user, color and other metrics.
  • Get detailed device cost comparisons with ROI reporting.
  • Generate "Top 10" reports to see which users print the most pages, which printers are used most often and other high-level analyses.
  • Build custom reports based on your organization's specific needs.
• Eliminate bottlenecks by moving efficient devices to high-volume areas or moving under-used color devices to better locations.
• Track usage issues at a high level with user and device groups such as "fourth-floor printers" or "high-volume users."

• Save money by redirecting print jobs to low-cost devices, offering lower-cost alternatives and preventing inefficient choices, such as black & white printing on a color device.
• Control print volumes by setting device limits by user, application, color usage and many other attributes.
• Curtail waste by reminding users that document activities are being monitored. Pop-up messages show limits, job costs, rules-based messages and other alerts.
• Save paper by forcing users to print or copy documents in duplex (or N-up) according to specific rules you select.
• Ensure cost-effective use of color toner by limiting color output based on the number of color pages in a job, the device, the native application, the user, the workstation and more.
• Maintain tighter control of document activity by sending e-mail alerts to administrators when certain rules are triggered.
