.print Tracking Service
The .print Tracking Service allows you to oversee your print volume: how many printers are overloaded? Which are hardly used? How many color or black-white printouts are printed on a daily basis? What are the resulting costs?

The print data of ThinPrint ports is compiled by the server and written into an SQL database. From there, they are graphically prepared as a website, which also allows for many other settings, such as querying print volumes for a certain branch during a certain time period. Authorized individuals can access the website from anywhere.

The .print Tracking Service forms a part of the following products: .print Application Server Engine and .print Server Engine. It is installed with two .msi files, not the Engine's installation routine.
The Tracking Service requires a web server and an SQL server. You can use the existing servers or the feature provided by Windows servers. Additional licenses or additional hard/software are not required.
