ezeep Printers and Settings Pages Are Updated

How do real people in real-life situations use ezeep, and how can we better support their needs? This question drives our consumer research. We want to respond accordingly and improve our approach where it is needed. This week, we at ezeep are proud to introduce our new Printers & Settings Pages, which are more effective than ever before.

What Are These Pages All About?

They are your launchpad into the ezeep experience, allowing leaders to connect their printers with the different types of people in their organization. The Printers Page guides you through a process for sharing your printers, and the Settings Page lets you customize who can use them and how.

Imagine for a moment that you are the pastor of a church. You might create an ezeep group inviting your inner circle to have unlimited, full-color printing on the church's office printer. But you might create a separate ezeep group for the church choir director. He is always printing reams of sheet music from his iPad, so he gets the black-and-white-only option to reduce costs. For your faithful flock, you might create an ezeep churchgoers group, which requires a special access code. After downloading your sermon notes to their mobile phones, ezeep lets your guests print the sermon on-site, using the church's public printer. Rather than carelessly using paper and printing 100 copies of your sermon, only the select 15 individuals who really want a paper copy for keeping will get one. Whoever you are and whatever you need, we are working hard to make sure you are covered.

How Were These Pages Before?

We will be honest. Your input showed that the previous design was complicated. People were not clear which actions to take and were thus looking through a lot of unnecessary pages to get where they were going. And so we decided to improve and deliver an updated solution.

What Is Different Now?

  • New focus toward most important information, how you share your printer
  • You can edit the name, address, and paper size of your printer right on the page
  • If you have not yet shared your printer with others, you are called to action
  • Online printers are indicated with a green line (letting you know all systems are good)
  • Offline printers are indicated with a gray line (letting you know something is up)
  • Editing a card or creating a new one will bring you to a new settings page
  • In settings, choose to share your printer in closed or open networks of users
  • Set a password if your printer is shared in a network or open widely to public
  • If you have the payment add-on option, you can set a price per-page
  • Choose whether your users can print in full color, or just black-and-white

What Is to Come?

Everything. All the time. That is the beauty of a cloud-based software service. We are continually improving our technology, organizing that technology into a package, and then rolling it out for users to have an improved ezeep experience.
