This release contains the following changes:

  • Add a new feature to display the environmental impact of each user’s printing. This is intended to encourage users to reduce their printing. It displays the number of trees consumed, amount of CO2 produced and how much energy used.
  • Add a “Rates” page to the end-user interface so users can see the cost settings for printer and Internet usage.
  • Allow user bulk actions to be applied to users based on various criteria in addition to group. e.g. restriction status, balance, department and office.
  • Add support for custom quota periods. This was often requested by customers who want to allocate quotas at the start of terms or semesters.
