<h2 style="color: #6fb610; font-size: 1.5em;">G Suite integration</h2>
&nbsp;

Good news for G Suite organisations,  you'll be able to sync and authenticate G Suite users with PaperCut MF and NG. PaperCut’s G Suite integration simplifies the printing process for Chromebook and G Suite organisations, allowing users to authenticate with their Google credentials.

When used in conjunction with PaperCut’s Mobility Print and Scan to Google Drive, Google organisations can now benefit from a seamless print, scan, and copy solution.

&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Google Cloud Directory (G Suite and Google Cloud Identity)</h3>
Sync users from Google Cloud Directory, which supports both G Suite and Google Cloud Identity. This new feature makes the transition to the cloud easier for Google G Suite and Google Cloud Identity customers.

Users can now authenticate using their Google credentials on all PaperCut interfaces. Google Cloud Directory can be configured as either a primary or secondary sync source and is fully compatible to run alongside another sync source such as Active Directory, giving administrators a flexible migration path.

&nbsp;

Users will also be able to see the environmental impact that their print setting changes have made. Unlike other print management software, PaperCut instantly shows users the cost savings their choices have made (changing from two-sided to one-sided printing, for example), encouraging behaviour change and thoughtful printing.

&nbsp;

On the admin side, sysadmins will gain greater control over print setting option changes, so they’ll be able to improve cost savings.

<h2 id="v18-3-0-new-features" class="release-category">New Features:</h2>
<ul class="new-features">
 	<li><strong>Google Cloud Directory (G Suite and Google Cloud Identity):</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>Sync users from Google Cloud Directory, which supports both G Suite and Google Cloud Identity. This new feature makes the transition to the cloud easier for Google G Suite and Google Cloud Identity customers.</li>
 	<li>Users can now authenticate using their Google credentials on all PaperCut interfaces.</li>

</ul>
</li>
 	<li><strong>Text-searchable documents:</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>Users can now create text-searchable documents from any type of scan action, to easily find important information in a document. DOCX and PDF text-searchable outputs are supported.

<h2 id="v18-3-0-enhancements" class="release-category">Enhancements:</h2>
<ul class="enhancements">
 	<li>When installing PaperCut MF, you can now skip the step to select a user/group sync source and configure that separately later. This speeds up the installation.</li>
 	<li><strong>Integrated Scanning:</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>Added the ability to start a new scan job from the Scan More or Finish screen, retaining the current scan job's settings and account selection attributes.
This applies to:
<ul>
 	<li>Fuji Xerox ApeosPort V+</li>
 	<li>HP (OXP)</li>
 	<li>Xerox (EIP 3.0+)</li>
</ul>
</li>
 	<li>Added the ability to configure (on the Admin web interface Scan Actions page) up to three output file types that a user can choose from at the MFD.</li>
 	<li>Some of PaperCut MF's advanced Integrated Scanning features, such as Scan to Cloud Storage and text-searchable documents, are now processed through "PaperCut Cloud Services". Document processing in the cloud takes away the hassle of managing the performance of local infrastructure.
<strong>Note:</strong> An active Premium Upgrade Assurance (PUA) subscription is required to use this feature.</li>
</ul>
</li>
 	<li><strong>Security</strong>
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Port 9195:</strong> PaperCut MF now supports both self-signed and CA-signed SSL/ HTTPS SHA2 certificates on port 9195. This is turned on by default for new installations; existing installations require them to be turned on manually.

<ul>
 	<li>Konica Minolta (OpenAPI)</li>
 	<li>Sindoh (OpenAPI)</li>
</ul>
</li>
 	<li><strong>Port 80:</strong> Tightened security on port 80 when used for payment gateways to ensure unnecessary information is not included in the HTTP header.</li>

</ul>
</li>
 	<li><strong>Admin web interface:</strong> In 'Options' there is now a 'Tools' tab. The Tools page lists all of the third-party systems that PaperCut MF directly integrates with.</li>
 	<li><strong>Web services API:</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>getPrinterProperty()—now supports a 'printer-id' option, which is also available via the server-command utility. This option improves the usefulness of the health monitoring API.</li>
 	<li>getSharedAccountProperty()—now supports an 'account-id' option, which is also available via the server-command utility. This option is useful when setting the printer property advanced-config.override-no-popup-charge-shared-id using setPrinterPropertyMethod().</li>
