Systems and Methods for Monitoring Document Life Cycle and Destruction

摘要

Systems and methods for monitoring and managing documents printed by an imaging device. The imaging device has a print engine and a controller coupled to the print engine. The controller is configured to control printing of the sheets of media by the print engine, generating an electronic copy of the sheets of media, generating or collecting metadata associated therewith and sending the electronic copy and the metadata to a destination around a time the sheets of media are printed. The electronic copy and the metadata may be used to update a database for tracking the status of the printed document
