Automatically separate batches of documents using barcode-reading technology and send the documents to the correct folders.
Benefits
Streamline workflow processes using scanned documents containing barcodes. Barcodes allow for more accurate and efficient data input compared to typical manual data entry.
Benefits include:
- Group individual pages into documents
- Rename file batches
- Redirect divided files to the relevant destinations
Use Case
Scanning environments that require a streamlined document workflow process.
This solution works with:
ADS3600W
High-speed wireless document scanner for mid to large size workgroups.
Print barcodes on demand from a software application without a dedicated barcode printer.
Benefits
Barcodes are used for various workflows and identification, increasing business efficiency and accuracy. The Barcode Print+ solution expands the number of barcode fonts native to the machine. This makes printing barcodes more efficient from barcode applications.
Use Case
Environments managing assets and resources, controlling distribution channels and stock levels, tracking documents, and managing data records.
This solution works with:
Business laser printer for mid-sized workgroups with higher print volumes.
Modify the standard user interface on select Brother products.
Benefits
The User Interface can be customized with different backgrounds, icons, and available machine features.
Examples include:
- Place a company logo in the background of the display
- Customize business workflows to allow access to specific device functions, while hiding others
- Custom User Interface can also be used as part of a security policy. Icons can be removed from the User Interface which eliminates access to a particular feature. Predefined icons also reduce the risk of documents accidentally being sent to the wrong destination.
Use Case
Virtually any business environment that is looking to streamline workflows, put a security policy in place, or promote a corporate logo or image on the machine.
This solution works with:
Business laser all-in-one printer for mid-sized workgroups with higher print volumes
Ensures that confidential or sensitive documents do not print until the user authenticates by entering a PIN or via an NFC card on the machine's integrated NFC card reader*.
Benefits
This job release solution offers security for print jobs without the high cost of IT services, middleware, or infrastructure overhead typically required for this type of solution. Retrieve printed documents, with the confidence that they have not been read or copied by anyone else, while meeting document handling guidelines and regulations.
This solution works with Secure Function Lock, which makes it easy to manage adding and removing users in a few simple steps, including setting associated NFC card identification. Users can be set up with a profile that includes access to the machine's functions.
Help reduce printing costs and become more environmentally aware by automatically deleting documents that are not retrieved or printed.
Use Case
Environments that need to ensure the security of printed data, but do not have a sophisticated server network or expensive print management middleware.
