Sweet!

"...allows for secure transmission of files to locations with a firewall, ensuring predetermined network security rules are met for the exchange of data."

This ability can break down a critical roadblock to the effective use of Print within large and highly secure organizations.

As a longtime fan of MarcomCentral, I am looking forward to learning more!
