Using PaperCut Mobility Print with PaperCut MF
To get the most out of PaperCut Mobility Print, team it up with PaperCut MF for a full print management solution.
If you are using Mobility Print on its own, then print jobs will print immediately, even if the user is remote. With PaperCut MF you can use Find-Me printing, allowing users to print to a single print queue, and release their print jobs at any printer when they are standing at it. This means their print jobs won’t be sitting next to the printer for an extended period of time.
Print release can be done through the copier panel, where staff and students authenticate via a badge swipe, username and password, or ID number and PIN.
Alternatively, staff and students can use their mobile phone to achieve a touchless print release experience.
PaperCut MF tips for remote printing
- Just in case you haven’t yet, set up Find-Me printing .
- Increase the default period for how long jobs are held before being deleted. This will allow users to print from home, and then arrive several days later to pick up their print jobs.
- Stop print jobs from being released when the printer is in error . This will prompt users to walk to a different printer to release their jobs if the one they are standing at has a fault. This will avoid users having to reprint their document. This is especially handy if you followed tip two because users will likely have closed the document they printed the previous day.
