Web Client Popup can be used to help users secure and identify their print jobs at a Print Release Station or they may release their job directly from their laptop or lab workstation. The Web Client Popup can be combined with a Print Release Station to support multiple payment methods based on the user or location.

Customizable print release stations

Password protection, authentication and payments can be used at print release stations. Can be combined with the client for double security and multiple payment clients.
