Advanced Scripting

Most print rules are rigid—you’re either allowed to print or you aren’t. Advanced Scripting transforms your print environment into a workflow engine that adapts to your organization's unique DNA.

Nudge users toward better habits while printing

Printing doesn’t have to be a “fire and forget” habit. Use interactive pop-ups to act as a consultant, helping users choose sustainable options like grayscale or duplex right when they’re about to print.

You can see how to create your first user prompt in our comprehensive manual.

Assemble custom logic with modular code snippets

While recipes provide a complete solution, snippets are the modular building blocks used to customize them. Simply place your cursor anywhere in the script editor to insert specific fragments of functional code, like checking a user’s department or looking up a project code. Learn how to assemble your own logic using code snippets in our technical documentation.

Secure sensitive data with intelligent governance

Move beyond blunt access controls by asking users to classify documents at the point of print. For restricted files, your scripts can automatically trigger archiving to ensure you meet strict compliance and data governance standards.
