Copyguard's unique centralised SNS System allows users to operate any copier linked to the system through a CG1000 terminal while the SNS Master unit keeps track of all usage and remaining copy credits. The SNS System has been carefully designed to simplify the task of the operator who uses the central management controller to issue copy credits to PIN or Card accounts or even on paper Dockets. Copy credits can be issued quickly and efficiently by the operator, in real time, while terminals are in normal operation.
