" With Pcounter we have total control over the printing and copying costs"
Pcounter embedded for Xerox
Integrate user authentication into interfaces the users are familiar with. The integration of the Pcounter into the device panel is an important step forward to advanced usability and fast and streamlined user workflows.
​
Pcounter embedded for Xerox is a module for the Pcounter server application that enables the central control of MFP displays for authentication and account data exchange. It embeds Secure Print and Accounting features into the display of Xerox devices.
