PaperCut is a software application designed and dedicated to helping organizations manage your printing. Basically, and in short terms, PaperCut works by managing your print jobs as they pass through your system into the print queue. PaperCut watches these queues, and from them, it pulls information. This information can include page counts, which PaperCut then uses to minimize waste, save paper, toner, and ink, improve document security, save time, and encourage users to improve printing behavior.

PaperCut supports many different kinds of printers and devices. For instance, it will work with your small desktop printer and up to the largest MFDs, or multi-function devices that have advanced touchscreens.
