Unlocking Efficiency and Security at San Anton School with Canon

San Anton School faced inefficiencies in managing their printing - teachers searching through piles of documents, sensitive printouts getting mixed up, and no easy way to redirect jobs when printers failed. Canon’s uniFLOW Online offered a serverless, cloud-based solution, empowering staff with secure, efficient, and flexible printing workflows. With teachers able to autonomously retrieve their printouts, operational bottlenecks disappeared, and document security was enhanced.

Managing the printing environment at San Anton School was a daily struggle. Teachers often faced long queues at shared printers, having to sift through piles of printouts to find their own documents. Sensitive materials like exam papers were sometimes misplaced, leading to security concerns. If a printer was down, staff had no easy way to reroute print jobs, causing further delays and frustration. Moreover, constant reprinting due to misplaced documents meant increased costs and significant paper waste, impacting both the budget and the school's commitment to sustainability.

With the implementation of Canon’s uniFLOW Online, San Anton School achieved a significant transformation. Bottlenecks disappeared, and teachers no longer needed to worry about misplaced or mixed-up documents - each print job is now securely held until authorized at the printer. This not only improved efficiency but also boosted security, particularly for sensitive materials like exam papers. The introduction of default settings for black-and-white and duplex printing led to a 10% reduction in print volume, which decreased overall costs and helped the school support sustainability goals. Canon's solution also introduced mobile printing and Scan-to-Cloud features, giving staff flexibility and making daily operations smoother and more efficient.
