Why is print management software\nso popular? Here are 8 reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cut Waste & Your Carbon\nFootprint<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaperCut <\/a>encourages responsible printing by cutting paper, toner and power usage costs using quotas and print policies. PaperCut also includes at-a-glance reporting on CO2 and carbon emission shows the impact by CO2 volume or by tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print smart by saving money\nwhile also being eco-friendly in helping save the environment. A total win-win\nfrom the greatest print management software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Apply Print Policies\nEnterprise-Wide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaperCut works by having\nprinting requests intercepted at the print server to control jobs according to\npolicies that encourage and enforce good behavior. Job filtering is used to\nimplement policies and improve device utilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you might route\nlarge jobs to dedicated high-speed printers, display popups to ask users to\nconfirm single sided output, automatically delete print jobs with incorrect\npaper sizes or to suggest an alternative printer when a device is offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Solve Mobile & BYOD\nPrinting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaperCut allows users to print\nfrom whatever mobile and \u201cbring your own device\u201d (BYOD) they have. No matter\nthe operating system, their location, the file format or the brand of printer.\nprint management software can solve all these while integrating into the print\ncharging, accounting and quota process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ensure Document & Device\nSecurity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaperCut protects confidential\ndocuments and slashes the volume of unclaimed printouts by ensuring users\nrelease print jobs at the point of printing. With \u201cfind me\u201d printing, users\nqueue print jobs to a virtual queue, and then release them for printing on a\nspecific device. Secure print release requires user authentication before\nprinting, ensuring that only authorized users can print and collect sensitive\ndocuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaperCut can also be configured\nto require print approval, ensuring that managers, teachers or systems admins\nauthorize the printing of any job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Monitor & Report Usage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real-time monitoring and reports\naddress all areas of print\/copy\/fax\/scan management, ranging from detailed page\nlogs to summaries by user, department, device or environmental impact. PaperCut\noffers many reports out of the box (One Click Reports), in PDF, HTML or\nMicrosoft Excel (.csv) format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can access reports from any\nweb browser or schedule them to be automatically generated and emailed. You can\nset up reports to use your own header and create reports with custom data by\nspecifying date ranges, filtering and sorting by the data available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Implement Quickly While Also\nMaximizing Uptime & Availability <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaperCut NG installation wizards\ninstall the server software and then automatically detect printers and MFPs on\nyour network. You can create users and groups automatically from directory\nservices including Active Directory, Open Directory, Novell eDirectory of LDAP.\nThe install wizards also help you define user access rights, page costs and\nquotas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Client software is optional and can be run directly off a server share avoiding the need to install\/deploy locally. PaperCutMF software application integrates with printers and MFPs from all major vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Administer Centrally, Manage\nEasily, Scale up Effortlessly <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaperCut provides browser-based\nadministration access from any network location, providing advanced\nadministration and configuration options in an intuitive user interface. Users\nhave access to a set of web tools to track their own activity in real-time,\nquery their account balances, view transactions, and transfer credit to other\nusers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern software design and\narchitecture provides scalability for networks of all sizes, from five to\nhundreds of thousands of users. PaperCut delivers a robust approach to\nmaintaining service by clustering at the print spooler, application server and\ndatabase (for cluster-aware databases), as well as automatic fail-over\nprotection against single points of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Integrate with Your Intranet\n& Other Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
