PaperCut's core purpose is to track
all printing in a network environment. It keeps
detailed print logs for all user printing activity.
This logging helps to understand printing at the
level of interest, such as by user, printer, group,
department, office or shared
account.
User
Level Tracking
- Administrators can view the print history
of each user
- Track the types of jobs printed, e.g. grayscale,
color
- Filters make it easy to locate specific print
jobs
- Export data as HTML, PDF or CSV (MS Excel)
Users are able to view their own printing history
via the user
web interface. User level printing
may also be presented as the summary of all users
in a group, office or department.
Printer
Level Tracking
Tracking by printer helps to understand how much
printers are used, by who and when. This assists
decisions such as purchasing a new printer or re-allocating
existing printers to see more efficient usage.
- Compare and analyze printer usage
- Determine which printers are used most
- See detailed logs for each printer
- Visual charts help to understand utilization
Shared Account Level Tracking
Printing that is allocated to shared
accounts, such as via the client
tool, can be tracked and charged separately.
This allows setting and tracking department budgets,
among other uses. Reports
All of PaperCut's logging is available for viewing
or export as reports. For information about generating
reports see the Report
tour section. For samples of the available reports

in Detail tour section. |
