One of the goals of |PRODUCT_NAME| is to reduce hard-copy printing by
facilitating the use of soft PDF copies instead. Above that, if printing
is needed after all, |PRODUCT_NAME| offers easy n-up, gray-scale and
duplex proxy-printing to reduce printing even more. Giving feedback to
users about the costs and environmental impact of their printing habits
is used to arouse awareness and achieve behavioral change.

Financial Impact
----------------

In any organization the costs of unrestricted access to office printers
can be substantial. With :ref:`SavaPage Financial <ch-financial>`
feedback about the costs from different perspectives (User,
ProxyPrinter, Period) is within reach. Future releases will indeed
process log data, and present financial statistics from all possible
angles.
