## Reviews

### "PaperCut" — 4.0/5

> **JJ** | *12 March 2019* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - It eliminates the need to print something off before copying it.&#10;- You can send and copy multiple items from your CPU at once
> 
> **Cons**: - Have to enter a password into the copier to print and sometimes remembering it is a pain&#10;- Requests disappear after 24 hours

### "PaperCut The Beacon Of Innovation" — 5.0/5

> **Joseph** | *15 May 2024* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: From the get-go, PaperCut impresses with its simplicity in installation and operation. It’s a breeze to integrate into existing systems, and its compatibility with various devices and operating systems means it’s ready to work in diverse IT environments.
> 
> **Cons**: PaperCut for me, it is just fine and has no cons.
> 
> PaperCut is the beacon of innovation and environmental stewardship.

### "My experience with PaperCut" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 April 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is cost effective from the company's point of view. It allows to track and limit print jobs, which is great from the administration's point of view.
> 
> **Cons**: While patrons are in control of their expenditures, one has to be vigilant when they are choosing the printer's settings and features. At my school this is set on "color"  as the default option, however, most students who are on a budget would like to print in "black and white' which costs less. If you want to print from a laptop then the document needs to be uploaded (I am not a big fan of this feature). There is a long lag time between hitting print and the actual printing. The worst thing is that if a print job is ordered but the printer is out of order, PaperCut will still process and charge the patron's account accordingly.
> 
> Modest. Needs improvement.

### "PaperCut Leading the industry" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *18 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the best features of PaperCut is their support channels, they are very helpful.&#10;There isn't a lot you can't control or capture with PaperCut by default and then there is the scripting engine where you can do everything.&#10;The newest feature is Cloud Print A+++, just need a better way to deploy it
> 
> **Cons**: Scanning, it's really easy to set up but you are limited to a single location per scan action.&#10;Also annoys me when each time I do a scan it goes back to the home page.
> 
> I have used PaperCut for 7+ years.  Overall it is a great product that is well supported and constantly developed.

### "Papercut in the School Setting" — 4.0/5

> **Karen** | *24 September 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our school district starting using papercut a few years ago.  I suppose, because it was convenient for those who worked in different settings and to track copier usage.  It is convenient to be able to use any copier in the building to print something from my computer.  This is really the only advantage I've experienced as opposed to being able to print to a designated copier before.
> 
> **Cons**: There are A LOT of things I do not like about papercut and most of them I've sent on to my IT people to share.  However, I've not seen anything change in 2 years.  There is no work around when internet is down.  The copier becomes nonfunctional.  This is a HUGE problem in schools because when internet is down, we often need to make paper copies to continue to do the lessons we had planned to do online.  Also, the settings are not all functional.  For instance, it defaults to 2 sided copies and I cannot print from my computer to the copier for one sided copies.  This is an issue if I'm printing personalized, confidential information such as grade reports.  Also, my experience has been that it seems to glitch a lot.  I will put in for it to copy 35 copies and it runs 1.
> 
> I wish we'd never added Papercut.  Whatever we were using before was MUCH more teacher friendly.  Papercut has been mostly frustrating to use.  Papercut does not have issues every day, but when it does, they make my job very difficult.
