PaperCut MF
Melbourne, Australia
What it is
PaperCut MF is self-hosted software that tracks and controls print, copy, fax, and scan activity on multifunction devices. Find-Me printing holds jobs until a verified user authenticates and releases them at a printer. Integrated Scanning can send documents to email, home folders, network folders, and cloud connectors such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Administrators can set print and copy quotas, shared accounts, and per-page costs. Centralized job logs and more than 60 built-in reports support activity monitoring, while over 100 integrations connect with payment gateways, document storage, and accounting systems. APIs include web services and command-line options for languages such as C, C++, Python, Java, JavaScript, and Go. PaperCut MF supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS, and web, and is designed to scale from five users to 500,000 or more. The listed starting price is $1.90/user/mo, with a 40-day trial. Licensing is based on devices running embedded MF software, and new installations or trials are obtained through an authorized PaperCut partner.
