Why teams install it

A low-cost layer of control over every MFD you own

PaperCut MF sits between your users and your fleet of printers and multifunction devices, applying the rules you set — without asking anyone to change how they work.

  • Track every MFD and printer on the network
  • Scanning workflow routes and files scans automatically
  • Secure print release holds jobs until you badge in
  • Mobility Print for BYOD, no domain join required
  • Control & report use by user, group or device
  • Site Server keeps printing alive through an outage
  • Recover costs with per-page accounts and billing
  • Enforce policy — duplex, mono, quotas, approvals

Core capabilities

Built to be deployed once and left alone

01

Find-Me printing

Jobs queue to a single virtual printer and release at whichever compatible device the user walks up to — cutting output in busy offices by up to 20%.

02

Mobility Print & BYOD

A native print experience on any OS or device. No IP addresses to know, no domain to join, nothing for IT to configure per-user.

03

Web-based administration

Full admin access from a browser, on any network location — no additional software or web server configuration needed.

04

Detailed reporting

50+ one-click reports in PDF, HTML or CSV — by user, department, device or environmental impact — scheduled and emailed automatically.

05

Site Server module

Keeps MFD access and printing available during a network dropout, and records every transaction for when connectivity returns.

06

Email to Print & Google Cloud Print

Every printer gets a unique email alias. Attach a PDF and send it, or publish printers to Google Cloud Print for driverless jobs.

Straight from PaperCut

Top 10 reasons to run PaperCut MF

  1. 01

    Cut waste and your carbon footprint

    Quotas and print policies reduce paper, toner and power use, with at-a-glance CO2 and tree-equivalent reporting.

  2. 02

    Apply print policies enterprise-wide

    Jobs are intercepted at the print server and checked against rules — from simple filters to full JavaScript scripting.

  3. 03

    Solve mobile and BYOD printing

    Any device, OS, file format or printer brand — all of it folds into PaperCut's standard charging and quota process.

  4. 04

    Enable Find-Me / secure print release

    Users queue to a virtual printer and authenticate to release; managers can require approval before anything prints.

  5. 05

    Monitor and report on usage

    Real-time monitoring across print, copy, fax and scan, with 50+ reports available out of the box.

  6. 06

    Deploy simply

    An install wizard auto-detects printers and MFDs, and pulls users and groups straight from your directory service.

  7. 07

    Administer centrally, manage easily

    Browser-based admin from anywhere, plus self-serve tools so end users can check balances without calling IT.

  8. 08

    Integrate with your intranet and other systems

    A customizable web interface plus a fully documented API and scripting layer for tying PaperCut into other tools.

  9. 09

    Scale up effortlessly

    The same architecture covers networks from five users to 500,000, on single- or multi-server setups.

  10. 10

    Maximize uptime and availability

    Clustering at the spooler, application server and database, with automatic fail-over against single points of failure.

"PaperCut's ease of use, mixed with its powerful scripting and filtering services — and combined with its many varied reports — make it our ideal print management solution. We can safely leave it to do its job and not worry about running up massive printing bills."

Tony Ayre — IT Manager, Minehead Middle School
