SECURITY FEATURES PRINT YOUR CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS WITH SECURITY FEATURES uniFLOW’s Secure Print functionality allows users to send sensitive documents to network printers from desktop and compatible mobile devices. Documents will only be printed when the user is physically standing at the device and authenticates. This makes uniFLOW a powerful software application with access controls that can help increase business productivity.
FLEXIBLE AUTHENTICATION AT THE DEVICE Access to devices is easily controlled with uniFLOW. Users can choose from multiple authentication options, such as card log-in, user name/password, PIN code, job code, and anonymous log-in. These allow them to release print jobs from their personal Secure Print queues. Users can also be granted different access rights to various functions, depending on their job role.
COST AND SAVINGS INTEGRATED COST TRACKING AND ACCOUNTING To help control costs and reduce waste, your organization needs to understand how its printing budget is being spent. uniFLOW allows you to track, assess, and charge back all printing, copying, scanning, and faxing costs on any uniFLOW enabled device, so that costs can be allocated to departments or specific projects. MULTILEVEL COST CENTERS uniFLOW lets you assign costs to multilevel cost centers.
TRACK COST SAVINGS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Your organization can easily monitor savings made through improved printing practices, such as deleting Secure Print jobs that have not been printed. With this information, you can establish better printing rules and realize a return on the original investment, based on using a managed printing system. By accurately monitoring usage and savings, uniFLOW can illustrate how many trees or how many grams of CO2 have been saved by not having printed some jobs.
DOCUMENT PROCESS CREATE INTELLIGENT DOCUMENT PROCESSES With uniFLOW, users can scan documents directly from both Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices and Canon imageFORMULA ScanFront Network/ Document Scanners into appropriate business processes defined according to needs.

PROCESS ALL CAPTURED INFORMATION uniFLOW’s powerful scan engine can process documents using a highly accurate OCR to extract information from the document. Users can automatically pre-fill index information or convert documents to different formats such as Microsoft® Word. In addition, features such as high compression of scanned files and blank page recognition can enable new and efficient workflows to be integrated into daily document processes.
MOBILE SEND PRINT JOBS FROM ANY LOCATION Printing requirements extend far beyond the simple “file, print” via desktop PCs.

Converging consumer and business technology has driven a “bring-your-own-device” revolution, allowing employees to work virtually anywhere, at any time, and on any device.
