Can I purchase PaperCut MF directly from
PaperCut Software?
PaperCut MF is a
supported solution, and is available for
purchase from resellers who have the
ability to offer local support and
service. PaperCut MF resellers like
Papercut-MF USA have been selected to
ensure they can offer a high standard of
service and support in their respective
regions for both hardware and software
solutions.
Can I download PaperCut MF directly from
PaperCut Software?
Because PaperCut
MF is specifically designed to integrate
with multi-functional copiers and
printers, value loaders and other
devices, special hardware or
installation services are sometimes
required.

MF you must visit our
contact page
and complete the form for access to our
download
page.
A full version of the Papercut MF

What is the difference between PaperCut
MF and other editions of PaperCut?
PaperCut MF was
specifically designed to extend the
capabilities of other editions of
PaperCut to monitor and control
multi-functional copiers and printers,
and integrate with payment services.
These are features only available in
PaperCut MF.
Which multi-functional copier and
printer models are supported?
With the variety
of tracking methods available, almost
all copier and printer models are
supported.
How much
does it cost?
Prices are not
published on the website as cost will
vary depending on the model and make of
your multi-functional copier or printer,
your location, and the size of your
network. Contact
sales for
a quotation designed for your site and
organization.

Which user payment methods are supported
and suitable for a school environment?
Top-up / pre-paid
cards are a simple, convenient way for
schools to issue credit or extra quotas
to users. The concept is very similar to
using coupons or vouchers. No special
hardware is required (other than a
printer!), and students will find them
easy to understand and use.
Credit card
payments may be suitable if external
access is provided for parents to make
payments.
Integration with cashless systems is
also available.

What are the main benefits of using
copier terminals over the copier's
in-built options?
The main benefits
of the integrated PaperCut solution are:
- Single set of
accounts and account balances
- Consolidated
reporting
- Centralized
management of data, costs and access
rules
- Users access and
use the copier using the same
account selection process as they do
for printers
- Enhanced
functionality and reporting across
all copy and print devices from a
single package
- Enables a site to
control all its copiers and printers
not just one specific brand from a
single package
- The solution can
remain even if the copier or printer
is replaced.
Please visit the
Copier / MFD Integration Tour page
to see this in action.
Where can the hardware / terminals be
purchased?
Contact
sales for
all your hardware terminal inquiries.

Where can I find information on embedded
solutions?
Multi-functional
copiers and
printers are
getting
"smarter"
with every
generation.
Most devices
now have LCD
touch
screens and
the ability
to run
custom
applications.
We have
recognized
this change
and are
working with
some of the
leading
manufacturers
to run
PaperCut MF
software
directly on
the
multi-functional
copier or
printer
itself.

Do I need to issue cards to all my
users?
No. PaperCut is
able to authenticate users using a
number of different methods including:
Keypad Entry
The system requests the user to enter
their unique ID and optional secret pin.
Card Swipe
The system will accept a number read
from a card. The terminals support a
number of different card types from
magnetic stripe to barcode to proximity
(HID and MIFARE) cards.
Organizations with existing issued
employee/student cards should consider
the card option, while others may find
ID numbers the most convenient. The ID
or card numbers are stored in the
PaperCut database and are entered
manually or via a text file import out
of another system or list.

Can I install and setup the hardware
myself?
Unfortunately for
most of the copiers currently available
the answer is no. Contact
sales and
we can assist with installation, on site
and remote installation services are
available.
I have
more questions.
Please check our
PaperCut Knowledge Base you may find
your question answered there along with
other useful information. Also contact
sales for
further information.
