MyQ Solution

MyQ Solution is a server-based application designed to protect your confidential data, manage the overall document output and related printing costs. Thanks to the Print&Follow function embedded in MyQ, the documents sent to the printer remain in the system and can be securely printed from any device.

Control Sensitive Documents and Reduce Printing Costs

MyQ allows you to control the overall output and get detailed reports. Users can access their account with their web browser and keep an overview of their personal printing jobs. MyQ greatly simplifies scanning and faxing processes as it automatically displays a set of personalised options according to your most used settings.

Business Challenges

The theft of confidential data could potentially harm my business – How can I make sure no unauthorised person can access my data?
Finding the correct settings for scanning & faxing is time consuming and difficult – How can I make these processes easier?
It is hard to track all printing related costs – How can I monitor them to save money?

Prepaid Printing with MyQ

MyQ offers you the possibility to distribute printing vouchers, which can be necessary for printers in public places such as schools and libraries. The users can buy prepaid credits that allow them to print, copy or scan a defined number of documents. These vouchers can be printed on any device by an authorised person.

Features and Specifications

With its well-structured and intuitive interface, MyQ simplifies all the processes you need to carry out on your MFP. As you will log in before using the device, MyQ will offer you shortcuts to your most used scanning, faxing and printing settings as well as buttons to quickly choose other options. This reduces the time used to process your documents and at the same time allows you to detect any unusual printing habits in your office. You can also complement your existing printer fleet with MyQ external terminals, enabling them to run with MyQ as if they were brand new.

  • Authentication – Access the devices in one step by PIN, ID-Card or Windows Login or in a two phase authentication combination such as ID-Card and PIN.
  • Security – Secure printing, data encryption and Print&Follow function ensure that your documents can only be accessed and printed by authorised people.
  • Reporting – MyQ keeps detailed statistics about the printing costs generated by a project, user or department.
  • Personalised Features – MyQ remembers your most often used settings and saves them as your default settings when you log in.
  • Scan to Function – One click changes the destination of your scanned documents and their metadata. You may choose between your MyQ space, home folder, fax server or email address.
