Print Tracking<\/h2>

PaperCut’s\u00a0core purpose is to track all printing in a network\u00a0environment. It keeps detailed print logs for all users\u2019 printing activity.\u00a0Logging helps to understand printing at the level of interest, such as by user, printer, group, department,\u00a0office,\u00a0or shared account.<\/p>

Accountability<\/h2>

Web-based Administration<\/b><\/p>

PaperCut\u00a0makes it easy to manage your devices, networked or non-networked, without complexity. Instantly see who, what, when, where, why, and how users are printing in your environment. Access the secure web-based dashboard to:<\/p>

  • View a list of all users<\/li>
  • Perform bulk user operations<\/li>
  • Configure devices<\/li>
  • View, edit, and create shared accounts<\/li>
  • Define printer filter rules and restrictions<\/li>
  • Run one click and Ad-hoc reports<\/li>
  • Control administrator access and security<\/li>
  • View all recent print jobs<\/li>
  • Access update news<\/li>
  • System Notifications<\/li><\/ul>

    Reports<\/b><\/p>

    • You can get access to important data in real-time with over 80\u00a0templates\u00a0covering users, printers, black and white vs. colour, shared accounts, groups, and logs.<\/li>
    • Run one-click, ad-hoc, or scheduled reports from anywhere on the network with a standard web browser and save to PDF, HTML OR Microsoft Excel format.<\/li>
    • Construct datasets for reports over given date ranges or filters with the\u00a0PaperCut\u00a0MF report panel. Your reports can be automatically generated and scheduled to arrive directly to your inbox.<\/li><\/ul>

      Environmental Impact<\/b><\/p>

      One of the\u00a0primary\u00a0aims of\u00a0PaperCut\u00a0is to reduce printing levels by changing a user’s printing\u00a0behaviour. Implementing monitoring, quotas and charging are\u00a0an effective way\u00a0of drawing a user’s attention to their habits. The topic of the environment, global warming, and waste management is currently an area of debate and interest to many. Highlighting the environmental aspects of their activities is another\u00a0way\u00a0to\u00a0modify\u00a0a user’s\u00a0behaviour.<\/p>

      Environmental impact is expressed as\u00a0follows:<\/p>

      • Trees, or the number of trees that were expended to make the paper.<\/li>
      • Carbon, or the CO2 equivalent in greenhouse gases released during the paper production<\/li>
      • Energy, or the energy used by the manufacturing process when producing the paper. This is expressed as the equivalent amount of time\u00a0needed\u00a0to run a 60W\u00a0incandescent\u00a0light bulb.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Rules Based Printing<\/span><\/h2>

        Print Quotas<\/b><\/p>

        PaperCut\u00a0print quotas are used to control and restrict users to sensible use by\u00a0allocating\u00a0a quota, allowance, or budget. Once the quota is reached, users will be unable to print unless\u00a0additional\u00a0credits\/allowances are added.<\/p>

        Print Policy Management\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

        You can implement best-practice print policy rules:<\/p>

        • Remind users via popup to print duplex<\/li>
        • Route large jobs to dedicated high-volume printers<\/li>
        • Discourage users from printing emails<\/li>
        • Discourage printing web pages in\u00a0colour<\/li><\/ul>

          Alerts<\/b><\/p>

          You can be proactive! Ensure that administrators are kept\u00a0well-informed\u00a0of any printing issues via automatic emails\/SMS\u00a0alerts. Alerts may be sent when:<\/p>

          • A printer is in error (e.g.\u00a0a paper jam that the user was unable to clear).<\/li>
          • A printer’s toner level is low.<\/li>
          • Other errors\/conditions occur in the printing process.<\/li><\/ul>

            Filter \/ Restrict Print Jobs<\/b><\/p>

            Filters are a great way for you to control printing. They can be used to\u00a0convert<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0restrict<\/em>\u00a0print jobs. Some examples of print filter usage by administrators include:<\/p>

            • Automatically convert student printing to duplex or grayscale.<\/li>
            • Automatically detect and\u00a0remove\u00a0duplicate jobs.<\/li>
            • Prevent large jobs from being printed on slow printers.<\/li>
            • Stop\u00a0printing\u00a0jobs of certain names\/types\u00a0– a\u00a0great way to stop someone accidentally printing the “accounts.xls” file that results in 20,000 pages!<\/li>
            • Catch invalid paper sizes. No more “manual feed” or “Load A5” blinking messages!<\/li>
            • Restrict access by domain group, maximum cost,\u00a0colour\u00a0mode, size and more.<\/li><\/ul>

              API Compatibility<\/strong><\/p>

              PaperCut\u00a0includes\u00a0several\u00a0tools and functions to\u00a0aid\u00a0your organization with customization and extension. Available resources include:<\/p>

              • Application programming interface (API) for advanced software developers.<\/li>
              • Command-line programs to automate tasks such as point-in-time backups, domain synchronization, disabling printers, etc.<\/li>
              • File formats facilitating web interface design changes.<\/li><\/ul>

                The XML Web Services API<\/strong><\/p>

                Any quality software product comes with a comprehensive\u00a0API\u00a0for deep integration, and\u00a0PaperCut\u00a0NG\/MF is no exception! Our industry standard Web Services API allows you to integrate with\u00a0PaperCut\u00a0NG\/MF with a programming language of your choice. Web Services data is transmitted over standard HTTP or HTTPS and uses standardized XML mark-up.<\/p>

                Our Web Services API uses XML-RPC (Remote Procedure Call). XML-RPC is a lightweight\u00a0web services\u00a0implementation and has good support for all major programming and scripting languages such as C#, Java, Visual Basic, Perl, Ruby and Python.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Get greater control over users\u2019 printing and copying habits, and lower costs","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13167,"parent":13004,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13038","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-10"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCost Recovery & Control - Amaranth Business Solutions Limited<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/amaranthbusinesssolutions.com\/barbados\/software-solutions\/cost-recovery-control\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cost Recovery & Control - Amaranth Business Solutions Limited\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Print Tracking PaperCut’s\u00a0core purpose is to track all printing in a network\u00a0environment.
