PaperCut MF
PaperCut MF manages print, copy, fax and scan activity on multifunction devices. Its Find-Me printing holds jobs until a verified user authenticates at a printer and releases them. Integrated Scanning can send documents to email, home or network folders, and cloud connectors such as Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. Administrators can set print and copy quotas, use shared accounts and track per-page costs. Centralized job logs and more than 60 built-in reports help monitor activity; more than 100 integrations connect to payment, document storage and accounting systems. APIs include web services and command-line variants for several programming languages. PaperCut MF is self-hosted and designed to scale from five users to 500,000 or more. Supported platforms include Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS and web. Pricing is listed from $1.90/user/mo, with a 40-day trial. New installations and trials are obtained through an authorized PaperCut partner; the MF plan itself requires a custom quote based on devices running embedded MF software.
