PaperCut MF provides integration with Xerox MFDs, enabling the tracking, charging or billing of "off the glass" copying, , printing, faxing and scanning.

MFD Xerox Display Interface

Available Options: Track Print and Copy NO ID reader integration. “Secure Auto Release" print jobs in queue from device “Follow Me Print” release anywhere integration   Requirements: PaperCut MF installed and running on your Network. Network Accounting (JBA) enable with OFF BOX Authentication (available in JBA version 3.6 or higher) Your Xerox MFD configured with a static IP Address Network (firewalls, routers etc.) allows inbound TCP connections on ports 9191 & 9192 (SSL) from the device to the PaperCut server

PaperCut's embedded MFD solution uses Xerox devices' built-in touch screen to provide a rich set of application features for walk-up copier, fax and scan usage

• End user authentication including integration with single sign-on environments such as Active Directory, Open Directory, eDirectory, LDAP and others
• Optional proximity and swipe card authentication (via standard USB based readers)
• Group-based access control to the device and color copying
• Monitoring and control of photocopying, scanning and faxing (quotas, charging, allocation and logging)
• Allocation of copying, scanning and faxing to accounts/departments/cost-centers/projects
• Releasing jobs from a hold/release queue (secure printing)

The embedded solution interacts with the PaperCut server via Network Accounting JBA using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and web services based protocols.

Authentication

PaperCut is a single integrated solution where copier usage is managed together with network printing all in one system. Users have a single account and administrators have the same level of administration for all services.

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:
  • Microsoft Active Directory
  • Apple Open Directory
  • Novell eDirectory
  • Other LDAP, NIS or POSIX environments

Shared accounts

The Xerox embedded solution offers the same level of tracking copying as PaperCut does for printing. Each job may be allocated to a shared account that may represent a department, project or client.

• Shared account access is optional meaning that some users can have a simple interface while others get access to the complete list.
• Access to shared accounts is easily administrated and can leverage Active Directory/LDAP groups.
• Real-time account and user level reporting.

Consolidated reporting and management

PaperCut offers more than 50 standard reports. Reports detail copying, printing or consolidated view. Highlights include:

• By device (printers & copiers)
• By user
• By shared account (client, department, faculty)
• By location
• By date and time / period
• By environmental impact

Print release and find-me printing

PaperCut offers hold/release queue as a core feature supporting all device types. The XEROX embedded solution provides print release directly from the touch screen. Release methods include:

• Automatic release on log in
• Release from list
• Secure release

This feature ensures the user is there to collect their job and other users can't "accidentally" collect the document.

Releasing a print job from a Xerox MFD

Find Me printing, also known as "Follow Me" or "Pull Printing", provides users in environments with several identical multi-function devices to print to a single virtual global queue. They can then walk up and log on to a device nearby available device and have their print job pulled from the global queue and printed on the spot.

Real-time copy tracking

• Charge different types of copying at different rates
• All usage reported live in the PaperCut logs

Track faxing and scanning

• Track scanning to e-mail or to a file
• Track sending faxes
• Simple per-page cost model or 2-tiered cost model for volume discounts
• All usage reported live in the PaperCut logs
• Filter job logs to display just fax or scan jobs

Seamless user experience

• Provide users with the same account selection options they use for printing via the popup
• If shared account access is granted, users have the option to select accounts from a list or using a PIN
• Control access to accounts using Active Directory groups

Supported devices

Integration is supported for many Xerox MFD models, including:

• ApeosPort II/III series
• WorkCentre and WorkCentre Pro series
• Document Centre series

Xerox MFD requirements:

• Off-the-glass copier tracking - requires Xerox Network Accounting Module (JBA) installed/enabled
• JBA must have off-box authentication. (Available in JBA version 3.6 or higher)
