PaperCut MF provides integration with Samsung XOA Multi Function Devices, enabling the tracking, charging and billing of "off the glass" copying, faxing and scanning. The PaperCut MF solution uses the capabilities of Samsung device to provide walk up copier (MFD) users with the same set of rich features provided by PaperCut's print control software. These include:
- Monitoring and control of photocopying, scanning, faxing and on-device printing from device storage and USB drives
- Enabling quotas, charging, allocation and logging of output
- Allocation of all job types to accounts/departments/cost-centers/projects
- Optional proximity/swipe card authentication on the device via supported USB readers
- Releasing print jobs from a hold/release queue (secure printing)
- Group-based access and control to the device, including color copying
- End user authentication including integration with enterprise single sign-on environments such as Active Directory, Open Directory, eDirectory, LDAP and others
Consolidated Reporting and Management
Consolidated management and reporting in either summary or detailed formats are readily available at the click of a button for all copies and prints across your entire fleet:- By device (printers & copiers)
- By user
- By shared account (client, department, faculty)

Consistency
The Samsung MFD solution is developed by the PaperCut Software development team. This means that the copier interface is consistent with the other PaperCut user interface; users only have to learn one system and one set of terminology.
