PaperCut MF provides integration with Kyocera TASKalfa A3 MFDs and A4 MFPs, enabling the tracking, charging or billing of "off the glass" copying, faxing and scanning. The goal of PaperCut Software's embedded MFD solution is to leverage the capabilities of Kyocera devices to provide walk-up copier users with the same set of rich application features provided in the print control area. These include:
- End user authentication including integration with single sign-on environments such as Active Directory, Open Directory, eDirectory, LDAP and others
- Optional proximity/swipe card authentication (via USB readers)
- Group-based access control to the device and color copying
- Monitoring and control of photocopying, scanning, faxing and on-device printing from device storage and USB drives (quotas, charging, allocation and logging)
- Allocation of all job types to accounts/departments/cost-centers/projects
- Releasing print jobs from a hold/release queue (secure printing)
PaperCut is a single integrated solution where print and copier control are all managed in the one system. Users have a single account and administrators have the same level of reporting and administration for all services. The embedded solution interacts with the PaperCut server using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and web services based protocols.
- Leverage your existing single sign-on infrastructure by allowing users to log in with the same username and password used elsewhere on the network. No need to remember and maintain multiple logins!
- Integrate with existing single sign-on environments such as:
- Microsoft Active Directory
- Apple Open Directory
- Novell eDirectory
- Other LDAP, NIS or POSIX environments
- Optionally authenticate using convenient ID numbers and optional PINs for extra security
