However, OKI has the ability to let schools monitor and control color printing with select color printers and MFPs (multi-function products) by defining who can print in color and what gets printed. Color Access Policy Manager (CAPM) makes printing in color cost effective for your school. It allows administrators, teachers and/or comput- er lab technicians to control printer usage by determining who and what can print in color, in black and white or not at all. In addition to the CAPM, OKI provides other software solutions to fit all your needs and help control costs in the classroom such as Print Job Accounting Software, PaperCut MF™, Ringdale ® FollowMe ® and Total Managed Print™ (TMP).
