24 November 2009

Software Shelf today announced availability of Print Manager Plus 2010 Release Station Option for schools, libraries, and companies who need to control user printing and printing security whether printing through a print server or in a work group.

This new version of the most simple and powerful software only (requires no hardware) Release Station on the market comes with Credit Card and PayPal integration. Users can pay for each individual job as they print or add credit to their own account balances using Credit Card or PayPal.

Software Shelf CEO, Mr. Bill Feeley states, “The Release Station has proved to be a very popular add-on for Print Manager Plus and we have been implementing this in many Schools, Libraries, and Companies around the globe over the past 2 years. There are many ways this can be used, and here are a few of the more popular implementations:

Secure Printing

“Using the Release Station, Print Manager Plus holds jobs the users send until they go to a Workstation or thin client panel at the printer/printers location and type in their User Account and password to see their job or jobs to release to the printer. Jobs not released after a specified amount of time are deleted. This handles printing sensitive material to a printer that is not located near the user. This also handles the stack of paper sitting at the printer at the end of the day that no one ever came to collect. Fully supports HIPAA, Data Protection Acts, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliancy.

Approved/Managed printing

“Users send a job and receive a pop up message asking them to see the teacher to release their job or the front desk (as in a library) to pay for their job. The person administering uses the console to see all the details of the job, including total cost of the job if collecting funds for it, and releases the jobs as needed.

Account Balance Management

“With the new Paid Balance feature within Print Manager Plus and Credit Card/PayPal integration, the software is set up to put the account balance management back on the users. They can pay for individual jobs themselves or add credit to their account balance if they run out using the Release Station Option.”

For those not yet using Print Manager Plus, a fully functional trial version good for 30 days can be downloaded from http://www.softwareshelf.com.
For new customers, install Print Manager Plus first, and then install the new Print Manager Plus Release Station 2010 to gain all the powerful features of security and ease of use of the Release Station.

The Release Station avoids the problem of users printing documents then never going to the actual printer to pick them up. Also, security comes in as the tool allows for confidential material in an organization to not actually be printed at the printer for everyone to see, until the user is actually right there to release it and pick it up.

It supports all printers on the market and is a native extension of the Windows operating system with seamless Active Directory integration. It supports all printer brands on the market and printing for every operating system printing through a Windows Print Server.

Supports HIPAA, Data Protection Acts, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliancy.

CHLOR*RID ANNOUNCES SOLUBLE SALT REMOVER IS 100% “GREEN”
ALL ORGANIC, NON-HAZARDOUS & BIODEGRADABLE

Removes Dangerous & Costly Salt Corrosion in America’s Bridges, Aircraft, Tanks, Dams, Ships & State Highway DOTs

CHLOR*RID® is True Salt Remover – Not Just Corrosion Inhibitor like Other Companies

October 27, 2009, Chandler, AZ — CHLOR*RID International, Inc. www.chlor-rid.com, the world’s leading source of products for soluble salt testing and soluble salt removal, announced today that its CHLOR*RID salt remover is 100% “Green,” organic, non-hazardous, and biodegradable. CHLOR*RID is used by state highways, bridges, railroads, aircraft, ships, dams, and tanks to protect and remove dangerous salt contamination and corrosion in crucial U.S. infrastructure systems. CHLOR*RID employs unique patented organic bonding chemistry to fully remove chlorides, sulfates and other soluble salts, making America’s key bridges, ships, and machinery safer for all.

U.S. Spends $300 Billion Dollars a Year on Dangerous Corrosion

In the last few years, the coating industry and corrosion engineers have become aware of the damage and cost of salt corrosion, resulting in 300 billion dollars spent each year in the U.S.– wasted money easily avoided by using CHLOR*RID to remove soluble salts on surfaces prior to applying protective coatings. Soluble salts (like chlorides, sulfates and nitrates) are found on surfaces everywhere – in marine environments or as residue left by chemical compounds, such as de-icing salts or industrial emissions. Soluble salts pull moisture from the air, causing protective coatings to fail. Salts can also cause degradation of the structure, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, concrete, foam, plastics and others. Left unchecked, the salt contamination corrodes into deep pockets in the substrate, making decontamination more urgent and challenging.

100% Biodegradable — Easiest, Safest & Most Economical Way to Remove Salts

CHLOR*RID is the safest and most economical method available on the market for removing dangerous soluble salts. Extremely easy to use, just add water to CHLOR*RID and apply to the contaminated surface prior to applying coatings. The organic chemicals in the patented CHLOR*EXTRACT solution bond with chloride and sulfate ions to quickly remove them from surfaces, so a protective coating can then be applied free of rust and contamination. 100% biodegradeable, CHLOR*RID is also nonflammable and contains no volatile organic compounds (VOC).

CHLOR*RID is True Salt Remover – Not Just Corrosion Inhibitor Like Other Companies

Unlike other companies, CHLOR*RID is a true salt remover and not a corrosion inhibitor. True salt removers use an acidic product to remove salts from a steel surface. Other companies claiming to be salt removers are only corrosion inhibitors that use alkaline products, which cause a hydroxide residue layer that masks salts so they do not show up in normal testing, and are never actually removed. CHLOR*RID safely protects your investment from costly and hazardous protective coating failures and will not interfere with the adhesion of protective coatings.

CHLOR*RID IS USED IN:
• Bridge Structures
• Ships
• Mining Facilities
• Storage Tanks
• Public Utilities
• Electronics
• Offshore Drilling Rigs
• Marine Structures
• Process Equipment
• Pulp and Paper Mills
• Power Generation Plants
• Natural Gas Facilities
• Saw Mills
• Petrochemical Installations
• Piping
• Cooling Towers
• Railcars
• Aircraft

“CHLOR*RID is proud to continue our commitment to environmentally friendly products with the CHLOR*RID salt remover, which has always been green,” said Jim Johnson, Marketing Director, CHLOR*RID International, Inc.

The CHLOR*RID “Green” salt remover is available immediately from CHLOR*RID International Inc. and their authorized distributors at http://www.chlor-rid.com/distributors/index.php.

Use the 120 plus pre-made reports, or edit and create reports, statements, and graphs with the Business Intelligence Development Studio. (Ad-Hoc Reporting)
