What’s New in PaperCut MF 24.1?
PaperCut MF 24.1 Release Dates: Reseller Availability: Nov. 26th – General Availability: Dec. 10th!
This Q4 MF release introduces a plethora of new features designed to optimize customer scanning and printing experiences, with a focus on better security, greater control, and more powerful insights – Let’s dive into all the key updates in detail!
Scan Reporting: Unlock Your Organization’s Scanning Activities
PaperCut MF 24.1’s new Scan Reporting capabilities provide administrators with powerful tools to track and analyze scanning activity across the entire organization. With this update, you can gain valuable insights into user behavior, monitor which devices are being used the most, even identify where scanned documents are being sent! Here are a few examples of the benefits in bullets:
- Identify your largest or most frequently used scanners to implement effective quotas and optimize resource allocation.
- Help customers monitor and control document flow to destinations like email, cloud storage, folders, and fax to ensure secure and compliant handling.
- Break down usage between native device scanning and integrated scanning jobs for a clearer understanding of workflow patterns.
This level of visibility not only makes it easier to optimize workflows but also helps identify potential security risks by ensuring sensitive information is being handled appropriately. By understanding scanning patterns and behaviors, administrators can take proactive steps to improve both efficiency and security across the organization!
Scan Archiving: Maintain Control Over Scanned Documents
The new Scan Archiving feature gives you a complete record of all scanned documents, similar to our existing Print Archiving feature. With secure storage, management, and monitoring of scans and metadata, this feature helps ensure compliance and enhances document oversight. Here are some examples:
- Safeguard all records and documents to ensure compliance and streamline audit preparations.
- Gain greater visibility and control over scanning data, improving organization and security.
- Use artificial intelligence to monitor and protect sensitive data, minimizing risks during document processing.
By archiving scans in a centralized, organized manner, you not only improve document oversight but also streamline access and retrieval when needed. This feature helps mitigate the risk of data loss and provides greater control over sensitive information, making it easier to maintain proper document management practices and safeguard your organization’s data from those pesky hackers & phishers!
Print Deploy Client Management: Simplify Print Queue Assignment
Managing and deploying print queues just got easier with the new Print Deploy Client Management feature. IT teams can assign print queues to specific users or devices, even in complex environments, streamlining troubleshooting and ensuring smoother operations. Check out some examples:
- Minimize disruptions and ensure smooth operations, maximizing efficiency across your organization.
- Assign print queues beyond predefined zones, ideal for hybrid workspaces and dynamic environments.
- New admin permissions ease the burden on your technical team, allowing designated admins to provide more effective support.
Whether you’re managing a hybrid environment or a large-scale installation, Print Deploy Client Management makes print queue deployment effortless. IT teams can quickly assign print queues, troubleshoot issues faster, and reduce downtime. This flexibility ensures smoother workflows, improved operational efficiency, and less strain on technical support teams!
Windows Protected Print (WPP) Support: Future-Proof Your Security
PaperCut MF 24.1 introduces Windows Protected Print (WPP) support, aligning with Microsoft’s security mandate to provide an added layer of protection for your print environment. This feature enables organizations to transition smoothly to a more secure print infrastructure while maintaining the efficiency of their existing workflows.
- Position your business as an authority in secure printing while safeguarding your customers’ data.
- Reduce IT overhead and ensure a smooth transition with a WPP-ready solution that minimizes customer downtime.
- Strengthen your connections by expertly guiding customers through the WPP transition, ensuring a successful and seamless experience.
By integrating WPP, PaperCut MF ensures that sensitive print jobs are handled securely, minimizing potential security risks without disrupting daily operations. This update not only strengthens your organization’s data protection but also offers peace of mind, knowing your print environment is fully equipped to meet the latest security standards!
