Extend the print, capture, billing and charge capabilities of PaperCut to a self serve environment where users may add value to accounts using integrated hardware, enabling organizations of any size to manage all copying, faxing, scanning and printing produced across their entire multifunctional copier and printer fleets using a single low cost software application.
PaperCut's core purpose is to track all printing in a network environment. It keeps detailed print logs for all user printing activity. This logging helps to understand printing at the level of interest, such as by user, printer, group, department, office or shared account.
Users are able to view their own printing history via the user web interface and may also be presented as the summary of all users in a group, office or department.
Tracking by printer helps to understand how much printers are used, by who and when. This assists decisions such as
purchasing a new printer or re-allocating existing printers to see more efficient usage.
Printing that is allocated to shared accounts, such as via the client tool, can be tracked and charged separately. This allows setting and tracking department budgets, among other uses.
In response to the growing trend for educational institutions to facilitate innovative cash payments means via User's Account, PaperCut enables cashless account reloading via multiple payment gateways, such as, the PaperCut Credit Card Payment gateway using PayPal as the processing house and via self service Hardware Based Loaders or Kiosk Machines.
PaperCut's print accounting and print management software has been developed over ten years to help organizations wanting to save money on excess printing. It's now in use in over 50,000 organizations across 100+ countries. With its roots implementing student print quotas in education (K-12, college to university), PaperCut has expanded over the years to cover all areas from business, to corporate and to government. We believe setting reasonable budgets or quotas and active monitoring is the key to controlling print usage across an organization.
