Print management requirements vary from organization to organization, and often change dramatically within an organization over time. PaperCut NG/MF is designed for flexibility and scalability and can be configured to meet your print management needs now and in the future. It is used in a wide variety of environments ranging from universities with large printer fleets supporting over 100,000 users to smaller organizations that track printing for a fewer than 50 users on 3 or 4 printers. You can implement a basic system within a few minutes, or if you need more than simple monitoring and reporting, you can configure powerful features that include differential pricing, blocking filters Filters allow you to control attributes of the print settings by either forcing a particular attribute or denying a a print job that does not meet specific criteria. There are two types of print filters: conversions and restrictions. and programmatic control via APIs and scripting. Some of the key benefits of PaperCut NG/MF are: Notifications for printer errors and low toner In addition PaperCut NG/MF provides SysAdmins with a kit of tools to manage printers including: Visible activity monitoring and expense tracking by work area, projects and departmentsĬombinations of all of the above to accommodate various user / group profiles No matter where you start, you can easily adjust parameters to implement changes as gradually or quickly as you want. Transfers accountability to users or departments by individually tracking activity.Ĭreates environmental awareness by drawing users' attention to the impact of their specific usage. Reduces overall printing cost through job filtering, enforcing flexible quotas, or direct cost recovery.ĭiscourages overuse of IT resources by establishing a managed print environment. Improves efficiency by allowing administrators to create rules that can steer printing to designated printers for load balancing Printer load balancing automatically distributes print jobs between two or more printers. Load balancing is generally used to equally distribute print jobs across a pool of printers saving valuable time in document output for the user and at the same time balancing the wear and tear among printer devices., to implement Find-Me printing Find-Me printing allows users to print to a single global print queue without selecting a printer, and then release the print job at any printer (via a Release Station)., or to redirect print jobs based on criteria defined using advanced scripting tools.
