Dell Take Control Of Office Printing With Dell Colortrack PDF Manual
Color laser printers have been rapidly gaining acceptance in the marketplace as more organizations realize their benefits. Using color can enhance productivity by making documents easier to read and understand. Color also improves business communication by making materials more attention-getting and engaging, helping to build understanding and participation. Even as organizations embrace the benefits of installing color laser printers in their office environments, they recognize the need to control printing costs—and so does Dell. Color laser printers from Dell not only deliver superb color printing performance at a low cost per page, but also ship with Dell ColorTrack technology.
This technology helps to lower costs even further by giving administrators control of office printing. Color managemenT helPS keeP PrinTing CoSTS low Dell ColorTrack technology is designed to provide organizations with effective color management through access control and usage monitoring. These capabilities help businesses make the most effective use of color laser printers and keep total cost of ownership low. Access control Determining who should have access to color printing, and in what volume, is a key to managing print costs effectively. With Dell ColorTrack technology, administrators can assign levels of access that make sense for different individuals or groups. For example, graphic designers may require unlimited access to color printing to be productive, while finance departments may need only black and white (monochrome) printing. Other groups such as sales departments may require access to color printing, but within limits. Usage monitoring Usage monitoring means tracking of monochrome and color print volumes.
Tracking enables decision makers to gain visibility into the usage patterns of individuals or groups and determine if changes are needed in color access assignments. Usage information also helps organizations ensure that color printers are located where they are most needed to get the most value from the color printing investment.

For usage monitoring, the administrator can print a report locally on the printer. For workgroups up to 50 users—ColorTrack II Dell ColorTrack II is designed for workgroup networks with up to 50 users. Instead of working via the driver on each user’s computer, it works via firmware on the printer. That makes it easier for the administrator to manage groups—there is no need to go to each individual desktop or laptop computer to change color access assignments. The administrator can remotely control access and monitor usage for individuals or groups through a standard Web browser using the Dell Printer Configuration Web tool. Changes can be made on the fly.
