PaperCut MF provides integration with Toshiba MFDs, enabling the tracking and billing of "off the glass" copying, faxing and scanning. The solution uses Toshiba devices' built-in touch screen to provide a rich set of application features for walk-up copier, fax and scan usage, including:
- End user authentication including integration with single sign-on environments such as Active Directory, Open Directory, eDirectory, LDAP and others
- Optional proximity and swipe card authentication (via USB based card readers)
- Group-based access control to the device and color copying
- Monitoring and control of photocopying (quotas, charging, allocation and logging)
- Allocation of usage to accounts/departments/cost-centers/projects
- Releasing print jobs from a hold/release queue (secure printing)
Authentication
PaperCut is a single integrated solution where copier usage is managed together with network printing all in one system. Users have a single account and administrators have the same level of administration for all services.

No need to remember and maintain multiple logins!- Integrate with:
- Microsoft Active Directory
- Apple Open Directory
- Novell eDirectory
- Other LDAP, NIS or POSIX environments
- Optionally authenticate using swipe cards, proximity cards or ID numbers and optional PINs for extra security.
- Display instructions and your organization's own custom logo on the login screen.
