Filters are a great way to control printing. Administrators can define filters to:
- Automatically detect and delete duplicate jobs.
- Prevent large jobs from being printed on slow printers (encourage the use of high
volume printers).
- Stop jobs of certain names/types. A great way to stop someone accidentally printing
the "accounts.xls" file that results in 20,000 pages!
- Catch invalid paper sizes before jobs arrive at the printer. No more "manual feed"
or "Load A5" blinking messages!
- Restrict access by domain group, maximum cost, color mode, size and more.
Filters are backed up by customizable messages. These can be used to inform users
of why restrictions are in place. For example, "This job has been denied. Please
don't print jobs over 100 pages on the ink jet printer. Use laser printer X instead."
