Secure pull printing from mainframe applications

Secure printing and output management

In the Enterprise today the challenge is to manage, track and control all print jobs from multiple systems and applications. Secure pull printing has become a widely used method to manage and monitor print costs and ensure confidential printing.

The challenge: pull printing from mainframe applications

Until recently it has been a challenge to include mainframe and midrange output in the secure print solutions currently on the market.

MPI Tech solutions now enable you to integrate mainframe host printing with secure print management systems, that ensure document confidentiality and also helps you save costs on the printing budget.

Confidential secure printing for all output

MPI Tech has enhanced its Mainframe based software to include user and job attributes in the print jobs issued from IBM Mainframe systems. These attributes are necessary for a secure print solution to track, manage, and record print jobs and eventually route the job to any target printer or MFP managed by the secure print solution.

All printed documents are handled, tracked and properly accounted for by the secure print solutions with the option to stay on the secure print server until the user logs in and authorises the print to be released on the secure MFP (pull printing).
