5 Facts About PaperCut That’ll Help You Sleep At Night

PaperCut is well-known for making print management a breeze for offices, schools, and techies across the globe.

In fact, over 61,000 organizations have empowered their SysAdmins to manage printers and multi-function devices with PaperCut MF or NG.

But did you know the company was started by two young developers back in 1998? Or that PaperCut has become so popular that its network reaches every major continent on Earth (we’re looking at you, Antarctica…).

Take a look at some other surprising facts about our favorite money-saving software.

1. Support never sleeps.

Need a little help? The PaperCut Support Network is revved up and at the ready. But did you know there are some pretty clutch resources to guide you through almost any question at virtually any moment? Sure you did. Just browse the 24/7 Knowledge Base to check out hundreds of articles updated daily. There’s always something there for admins, users, and you!

2. Culture makes a difference.

A good culture is at the heart of a great company. PaperCut’s “software culture” drives it far ahead of other copier control solutions who tend to get their start in the hardware space. What does that mean for you? Simplicity, transparency, and a customer-first experience.

3. Scale, scale, scale.

Simple license structure. Unlimited servers. No vendor lock-in. Rest easy knowing that as your business grows, PaperCut grows with you. Honestly, we’d like to see a site with a network too big to handle. There’s beauty in staying flexible. If you have a mixed fleet or a single brand of MFPs, or even if you decide to make the leap from Windows to Mac to Linux, you get to keep the same functionality.

4. We speak the same language.

Speaking of making the leap, it’s easy. PaperCut translates across more than operating systems. Nearly 30 languages are ready to use out of the box. Language is selected based on your browser preference or you can choose your language on the login interface. This flexibility is perfect for multilingual teams and multinational companies. Check out this blog from PaperCut to learn more.

5. “Stop a print, save a panda.”

Itching to know how big your environmental footprint is? There’s a widget for that! PaperCut’s print tracking helps encourage responsible printing by sharing the environmental impact of every user’s activity. Take a look at one of three stats in the user web interface or admin interface:

  • Trees, or the number of trees that were expended to make the paper.
  • Carbon, or the CO2 equivalent in greenhouse gases released during the paper production.
  • Energy, or the equivalent amount of energy required to run a 60W incandescent light bulb.

Fact: About 36 football fields’ worth of trees are lost every minute due to deforestation. That’s equivalent to an area the size of the state of South Carolina every year.

BONUS: Special pricing for non-profits.

Running on a tight budget? PaperCut offers special pricing for registered charities and non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) status. We want to make sure everyone can benefit from PaperCut, especially those who may need it most. With that in mind, PaperCut has put in place initiatives to help organizations in developing countries, too. Contact your local ASC to learn how special pricing for NPOs can benefit you.

PaperCut and etherFAX Streamline Healthcare Document Exchange

PaperCut and etherFAX Streamline Healthcare Document Exchange

While the healthcare world is no stranger to groundbreaking new solutions and technologies, there are still some aspects of day-to-day operations where healthcare professionals rely on the same tried and tested methods, most notably with document exchange. According to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, 89 percent of medical offices and 70 percent of healthcare organizations still rely on fax machines and phone lines to transfer and retrieve patient records or order prescriptions. Additionally, 75 percent of all medical communication is still transmitted by fax. That’s why ACDI was proud to introduce an expansion of the PaperCut Scan to Fax application to include etherFAX connection capabilities.

Maintaining Data Security with PaperCut

Recognizing the need to protect confidential patient data and information, PaperCut MF’s security provides peace of mind for healthcare professionals around the world. Physical measures protect documents throughout their entire lifecycle, and end-to-end encryption keeps data as breach-proof as possible.

Ensuring complete visibility into who’s printing what and when to maintain HIPAA compliance, PaperCut MF allows users to add digital signatures, audit logs, and print job logs to maintain complete visibility on who’s printing what. The last thing a hospital or clinic needs is patient information ending up in the wrong hands, and secure print release makes sure that fear never becomes a reality by requiring authentication before printing any document.

Printing isn’t the only form of document exchange present in healthcare facilities, and PaperCut MF provides the same level of security for scanning. The Admin web interface allows for specific configuration on a variety of features, including scan actions, OCR settings, default scan settings, cloud destination options, and shared folder settings. Most notably for healthcare professionals, PaperCut also allows users to scan to fax with connectors such as etherFAX.

Utilizing the etherFAX Secure Exchange Network

etherFAX is a secure data transmission solution that leverages hybrid cloud fax services for fast, reliable, and cost-effective fax communications. With more than six million connected endpoints, the etherFAX Secure Exchange Network (SEN) is the world’s largest fax network, supporting every major fax server, application, and fax-enabled device. Systems within the etherFAX ecosystem can communicate directly with each other without the use of telephony, while the SEN is capable of sending color, high-resolution, documents, and fully encrypted payloads with no change in the user experience.

In the pursuit of seamless data exchange, faxing remains a steadfast ally in the healthcare industry and its reliability and security make it a trusted means of data transmission. Intelligent Document Capture lies at the core of etherFAX’s capabilities, ensuring that even handwritten or printed text in faxed documents can be automatically converted into machine-readable data, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in healthcare workflows.

With innovative solutions from PaperCut and etherFAX, the ACDI team is committed to providing a secure environment for healthcare professionals to exchange, extract, and integrate data. It’s our mission to empower organizations to enhance productivity and increase value with real, tangible benefits. The future of healthcare document exchange is here, and it’s powered by PaperCut, etherFAX, and ACDI.
