The multi-functional copier and printer integration provided by PaperCut MF enables tracking, charging or billing of "off the glass" copies.

PaperCut MF is able to track "off the glass" copying at 2 different levels:

1. Using hardware terminals, providing compatibility with all copier types.
2. Using software / embedded solutions, targeting selected new generation devices. This method removes the need for any additional hardware.

This page explains both methods and the solutions available for each.

hardware terminals

Hardware copier terminals are devices that plug into a multi-functional copier or printer via an access port and then interface with PaperCut MF via your ethernet network. Terminals are a hardware neutral solution and work with most multi-functional copier and printer makes and models both young and old.

The PaperCut Software development team has targeted several leading terminal brands, including:

• Copicode
• VCC
• Alpha

software / embedded solutions

Multi-functional copiers and printers are getting "smarter" with every generation. Most devices now have LCD touchscreens 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.

The PaperCut Software development team have developed solutions for several major copier brands, including:

• Ricoh, via Ricoh Embedded Software Architecture (ESA)
• Sharp, via Sharp Open Systems Architecture (OSA)
• Xerox, via Xerox Network Accounting
• Lexmark, via Lexmark Embedded Solutions Framework (LeSF)
• Konica Minolta, via OpenAPI
• Gestetner
• Lanier
• Nashuatec
• Other devices (currently under development)
