PrintSent vs Scan-to-Email

PrintSent vs Scan-to-Email

Scan-to-email is not really a competing product; it is the manual version of what PrintSent automates. Today a staff member prints a Dealertrack form, walks it to the copier, scans it, types an address, and sends. PrintSent captures the same document straight off the print stream, so it is a branded PDF in a shared portal before it would ever have hit paper. Here is how the two compare.

01Side by Side

The breakdown

How PrintSent and scan-to-email compare across what matters for Dealertrack output.

 
PrintSent
Scan-to-Email
Steps to send a copy
Print to PrintSent; the PDF is in the portal, ready to email
Print, walk to the copier, scan, type the address, send
What the recipient gets
A crisp, digitally generated PDF, pixel-perfect every time
A scan of a printout: skew, streaks, and washed-out toner
Paper
None, unless you choose to print a copy
Always prints the page first, then scans it back in
Where the copy lives
A shared portal, organized by printer, ready to resend
Your sent mail, if it is anywhere at all
Resending later
Already in the portal, forward again in seconds
Find the paper and scan it again, or dig through email
Security
Encrypted, read-only portal scoped per printer; sensitive docs as secure links
Pages sit in the copier tray; a typo sends to the wrong address
Staff time
Seconds, without leaving the desk
A few minutes per document, at the copier
02The Bottom Line

What it comes down to

Scan-to-email works, which is exactly why it hides in plain sight: nobody counts the minutes at the copier or the toner spent printing a page just to scan it.

PrintSent removes both the print and the scan. The document is captured digitally the moment you print it, so the copy is cleaner, it is already saved in a shared portal, and your team never walks to the copier to send it.
