PaperCut overview

What is PaperCut?

PaperCut makes server-based and cloud-based print management software that offers solutions for businesses of all sizes to manage print security, cost control, and more. The software is built to work with all printer brands and platforms, and enables native printing from any device, including iOS, Android, and Chromebooks

PaperCut's Mobility Print solution allows users to print from their own devices, including mobile devices, without worrying about driver downloads. The correct drivers are deployed automatically to users based on their device and location. Secure release of print jobs protects documents by requiring users to verify their identity to release and collect print jobs, and digital signatures and username watermarks can be used to promote responsible document handling through document ownership.

PaperCut includes more than 75 built-in reports which provide users with insight into their organization's printing activity, and custom reports can also be created to answer specific queries. Activity dashboards also offer an at-a-glance view of important metrics. PaperCut allows administrators to set individual or team print quotas and limits to control printing funds, and policies can be implemented to remind users to print in grayscale or duplex.

Key benefits of using PaperCut
