Papercut MF Overview and Features




Papercut print and copy control software

PaperCut MF allows organisations to track, control and optionally charge for the printing and copying performed by users. The implementation of a solution reduces paper and toner waste, cuts costs, reduces the impact of your organisations paper output on the environment and makes both users and departments more accountable. PaperCut MF provides access to detailed reports that illustrate the environmental impact of your organisations paper output and allow you to make the correct policy and purchasing decisions. PaperCut MF provides genuine cross-platform support and can operate in most networking environments. These include those that use Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, RM or LDAP for authentication with options to utilise Windows, Novell Open Enterprise (OES), Mac and Linux print servers with full pop-up messaging support on Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix clients.

To capture off the glass walk-up copying, PaperCut MF supports:

  • Embedded applications that run directly on a multifunctional device, enabling single sign-on using existing domain infrastructure (on selected devices).
  • Direct TCP/IP network connection with selected ITS hardware terminals, enabling user authentication and access via common card formats including: magnetic stripe ("swipe") cards, proximity cards, barcode cards and smart cards.

Feature Highlights

  • Track and control walk-up / off-the-glass photocopying using hardware or software solutions.
  • 100% web-based administration allowing admin control from anywhere on the network.
  • Cross-platform support for both servers and clients. Available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
  • Vendor neutral - no hardware vendor or operating system lock-in.
  • Differential copy/print charging allowing costs to be defined per copier or printer.
  • Varied prices for colour, duplex and large format printing.
  • Print release and secure printing in open access environments.
