Why Papercut MF?

Intuitive and Easy to Use

PaperCut MF is regarded as the simplest system of its type to deploy and manage. System administrators have full access to administration and configuration via a familiar web interface. It offers:

User directory (e.g. Active Directory and others) integration and automatic user account creation.
Secure print release and Find-Me printing.
Administrator dashboard with real-time status updates.
Print Archiving: Review job content visually.
Optional client and account billing Ability to encourage responsible use via popup notifications.

Find-me Secure Print Release

PaperCut’s Find-Me printing feature enables users to print to a global virtual queue. Documents are stored and only printed when the user releases the print job at any compatible MFD/printer:

Improved document security and convenience.
Reduce IT administrators need to manage multiple print drivers and queues for both workstations and notebooks.
Find-Me printing minimises waste and has been shown to reduce printing output by up to 20% in busy office environments.
Support for multiple release methods ranging from auto release on authentication to active release job-by-job.

Web based administration

PaperCut MF provides “out of the box” browser-based administration access from any network location enabling centralised management of every user and device. Web technologies make cross-platform support easy as there is no need for additional software to be installed and no web server configuration. A key feature of the administration interface is the dashboard tab – an easy-to-read single page view of the printing environment for administrators. The Dashboard page utilises a number of gadgets to present key real time information such as system activity and status updates, along with trend information and statistics from past activity such as number of pages printed and environmental impact measures.

Detailed Reporting

PaperCut includes over 50 one-click reports available for online viewing, printing or export. Reports address all areas ranging from detailed page logs to summaries by user, department, device or environmental impact. Administrators can create ad-hoc reports by applying filter conditions and reports can be emailed to specified people on a regular schedule. For more information see: www.papercut.com/tour/report/

Print Archiving & Watermarking

Secure Device Access PaperCut administrators can utilise these features to ensure users are answerable to their printing. PaperCut’s Print Archiving empowers approved administrators to browse and review the content of print activity within their environment. Alongside the powerful tracking and reporting functionality built into PaperCut, this gives system administrators a wide range of auditing functions.

Secure Device Access

Today’s MFDs are smarter. They have touch screens and the ability to run software directly on the device’s panel. PaperCut leverages this technology to bring new features to each device. One of the key features is user authentication – only allowing device access to authorised users. At the simplest level users can authenticate with network username and password via an onscreen keyboard. In addition many environments will implement ID card authentication. Card numbers can be extracted from your network’s user directory or a database (e.g. door access control system), alternatively users can self-associate their card on first- use. Card types include magnetic stripe, proximity (HID, Mifare & Legic) and bar codes, and PaperCut supports many brands of USB card readers including RFIdeas, Elatec and OmniKey.

iPad, Mobile and Driverless Web Printing

The introduction of iPads, mobile phones, tablets, netbooks and Bring-Your-Own devices have brought a new set of challenges to the printing landscape. PaperCut can help solve these problems with native iPad print support and web based driverless printing – core features in PaperCut. Users of these devices have access to the full range of features including authenticating, account selection and ‘find-me’ printing in a simple user interface.

Payment Gateways

Give end users the ability to make payments into their PaperCut account using payment gateways. Payment gateways allow third party systems to connect to PaperCut in a supported manner. Common gateways include leading providers like PayPal and Authorize.Net which allow real-time online payments via credit card.
