  • Pop-Up Alerts: With PaperCut, it’s easy to see a substantial drop in paper waste thanks to its pop-up alert feature. For example, administrators can create rules like requesting or requiring large print jobs to be printed double-sided.These alerts can also save on ink, toner, and print management and cost per page expenses. Program PaperCut to ask users if they really need that email to be print in full-color or if they’d consider a black and white for a basic print job. They can even show how much the company saves by choosing the more affordable option! 
  • Card Swipe/PIN Code/Pull Print: This feature is fantastic for both security and cost-saving reasons. How many times have you pressed print only to realize it’s the wrong job—or you just forget to pick it up altogether? That’s just money getting throw out of the window!

    Instead, require jobs to only process and release after the user gets to the device and enters a personal code or swipes a card. This also keeps your sensitive print documents secure and out of the wrong hands as they won’t ever sit unattended in the paper tray waiting for retrieval.

View and compile the complete, detailed print logs for every user within your network. This information is fantastic for understanding your company’s print activity when it comes to departments, individual users, printers, and so much more.
