Cost control

The WorkCentre 7120 offers comprehensive color
access controls
The WorkCentre 7120 offers an extensive array of administrative controls
that administrators can use to limit who has access to color print privi-
leges, and how much access each user has. Tools include default settings
and restrictions to print drivers and print queues; available monochrome-
only print drivers; and even application driver defaults.
The Black and White Only print driver
The WorkCentre 7120 can be set up by an administrator with a Black and
White Only print driver, which allows printing in black but not in color. This
makes color printing available to users who need it, while limiting other
workers to printing their documents in black. Permissions for the print
queues can be controlled by group policy on the print server.
