Background of the Study

Document printing system services are essential across wide range of environments, such as libraries,
internet cafes, and business centers, catering to the needs of individuals and organizations alike. In
today’s digital age, the demand for cost-effective in printing services remains steadfast despite the
widespread adaption of document printing system.

Traditional payment methods for document printing services include manual transaction processing time
causing delays and inconsistency due to handling of cash. Completion of paper works for students,
faculty and staffs is impacted, as it is crucial to ensure seamless access to printed materials and
promotes reliability in document printing services.

The advent Internet of Things, enables the seamless integration of the physical world with the digital
realm, allowing for different levels of connectivity. This connectivity extends to smart vending solutions,
which are vending machines equipped with IoT capabilities and enables seamless data transfer and real-
time monitoring of vending machine operations, including inventory levels, and perform tasks sales
performance with an internet connection. By integrating smart vending solutions into the IoT ecosystem,
document printing services can achieve time-saving, sustainable, and reliable accessibility of printing
services.

We propose a PesoPrint System based on pay-per-print- solution for document printing services an
innovative printing solution leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technology within WMSU-ESU Pagadian
Campus. The proposed system is composed of a touch-screen UI that the users will interact with, upon
approaching the system the user will plug in their own flash drives with their files on it, the system then
will filter out files and will only show files that are printables like (docx, xlsx, pdf, images, etc.). The users
will select their files and there will be a preview for reviewing their pages to be printed, the users will
select those pages and the system will automatically identify the paper size and will print to the printer
that accommodates the paper size (There will only be 3 printers within this system for LONG, A4,
SHORT). The system will also price the pages and calculate the total cost of the printing, the user will pay
through the integrated coin and bill acceptor and once the right amount is been received the printing
button can now be pressed and will start printing. If the allocated money was more that the price of the
printing then the system will do change that is limited to 1 and 5 pesos. Within the proposed system, it
will also be integrated with a mobile app where users are allowed to reserve their files for printing. The
users upload their files within the mobile app and the app will generate a reservation code wherein the
user will input upon approaching to the system. Notifications will be sent if the reserved files are printed,
printing, or cancelled. On the other hand, within the mobile app we have the administrators who have
access to features such as viewing sales reports, receiving notifications for errors like paper jams and
shortage ink levels.

Furthermore, the performance of the PesoPrint system within the context of the WMSU-ESU Pagadian
Campus will improve accessibility, sustainability and reliability with the PesoPrint System among
students, faculty, and staff members of the campus for future enhancements and widespread adoption
of IoT-based printing solutions.
