This month we will be creating a simple PaperCut print script which will cancel or double the cost of his print jobs depending on what second his job was sent. So, grab a cup of coffee and we can start when you''re ready.</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">So, the first thing we are going to do is create two variables, one for the user we are going to target and another to hold the seconds from the time the job was sent. Creating a variable is nice and easy in Javascript we just come up with a name that we can remember or easily recognise later and assign it a value.</p>\r\n\r\n<pre>var username = "Ross";</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">Our second variable is going to use the <em>inputs.job.date</em> method, and the <em>seconds</em> from the time the job was submitted.</p>\r\n\r\n<pre>var seconds = inputs.job.date.getSeconds();</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">Now that we have the variables we need let''s build out our <em>if</em> block. To make sure Ross has a hard time, we are only going to run the script if the job was submitted using his username using the inputs.job.username method. This could also be changed to a group of users by using inputs.user.isInGroup(group_name_variable).</p>\r\n\r\n<pre>if ( inputs.job.username == username ) {\r\n	// The rest of our code will go here\r\n}</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">Now inside that <em>if</em> block we are going to add another if block to compare the second''s value against 2 numbers so <em>if</em> <em>seconds</em> is 11 or <em>seconds</em> is 22 we are going to cancel the job and send a message back to him to tell him it has been cancelled.</p>\r\n\r\n<pre>if ( seconds == 11 || seconds == 22 ) {\r\n	actions.job.cancel();\r\n	actions.client.sendMessage( "Sorry the job has been cancelled" );\r\n}</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">It wouldn''t be fun if we just left it like that, so let''s add another <em>if</em> using <em>else if</em> to check <em>if</em> seconds is 33 or 44 and if it is we are going to double the cost of his job and leave a comment in the job log so we know what happened.</p>\r\n\r\n<pre>else if ( seconds == 33 || seconds == 44 ) {\r\n 	actions.job.setCost( inputs.job.cost * 2 );\r\n 	actions.job.addComment( "Cost doubled for Halloweeen trick" )\r\n}</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">Now, we can end this with an <em>else</em> to catch anything else and leave it blank in an attempt to make him think it''s just random. We could of course use <em>actions.job.convertToGrayscale()</em> to convert the other jobs to Grayscale if we wanted to, but that might give away the game.</p>\r\n\r\n<pre>else {\r\n	// Don''t do anything\r\n}</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">That is it! You''ve made it to the end of the first monthly script, and hopefully you have some ideas of what you could do in your environment for a little bit of fun.

A key aspect is how users authenticate at the copier/MFD.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class="common-div">\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left; color: #6fb610;">With PaperCut, there are various authentication options, including:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Username and password – Users can use their domain/network username and password to log into the MFD.</li>\r\n 	<li>Identity number – Users can log in with their identity number.

For example, rather than entering a username like ‘john.smith001’, it may be more convenient to enter an employee ID of ‘1234’.</li>\r\n 	<li>Identity number with a PIN – When users log in with their ID number, they must also provide a PIN number which provides an additional layer of security.</li>\r\n 	<li>Swipe card – The user may log in by swiping a card (magnetic stripe, Mifare, barcode, HID etc).</li>\r\n 	<li>Swipe card with a PIN – When users log in by swiping a card, they must also provide a PIN number.

PaperCut allows self-registration. This time-saving feature puts all the responsibility on your users and away from the overworked IT Team.\r\n\r\nUsers with cards attempting to swipe the card for the first time will be prompted on the screen of the MFD that the card they have scanned is unknown to PaperCut. They will then be asked to associate that card with their user account. Users will simply input their network username and password and then as if by magic the card number scanned is assigned to that particular PaperCut user. The next time users wish to log in they swipe the card as normal and are logged in and allowed access to the MFD.\r\n\r\nOther options include importing card numbers into PaperCut from a CSV file, importing card numbers from LDAP or even keeping the card data on an external database. Alternatively, if you have nothing better to do with your time, you can manually input each card number in PaperCut one by one...\r\n\r\nSo card based authentication is the preferred method.

When used for print and copy control authentication this is typically finger or thumbprints.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a class="wikilink" href="http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/BiometricSupportBioStore">Support for BioStore Biometric Hardware</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a class="wikilink" href="http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/BiometricSupportLiveRegister">Support for Live Register Biometric Hardware</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a class="wikilink" href="http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/BiometricSupportNationwideRetailSystems">Support for Nationwide Retail Systems (NRS) Biometric Hardware</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class="common-div">\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left; color: #6fb610; line-height: 1.5em;">What if you don''t know the numbers on your cards or don’t want to maintain card numbers and import them into PaperCut?</h3>\r\nNo worries! PaperCut allows self-registration. This time-saving feature puts all the responsibility on your users and away from the overworked IT Team.\r\n\r\nUsers with cards attempting to swipe the card for the first time will be prompted on the screen of the MFD that the card they have scanned is unknown to PaperCut. They will then be asked to associate that card with their user account. Users will simply input their network username and password and then as if by magic the card number scanned is assigned to that particular PaperCut user. The next time users wish to log in they swipe the card as normal and are logged in and allowed access to the MFD.\r\n\r\nOther options include importing card numbers into PaperCut from a CSV file, importing card numbers from LDAP or even keeping the card data on an external database. Alternatively, if you have nothing better to do with your time, you can manually input each card number in PaperCut one by one...\r\n\r\nSo card based authentication is the preferred method. It''s quick and easy to use and inexpensive to set up. We are glad to say that the majority of sites that install <a href="/products/papercut/">PaperCut MF</a> in the UK use cards for authentication.\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">Selectec is happy to offer a 40-day trial of PaperCut MF <a href="/contact/">get in touch</a> and we can set you up.</h3>\r\n</div>', 'How PaperCut MF authenticates at an MFD', 'This is a test', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '674-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-11-21 14:38:55', '2018-11-21 14:38:55', '', 674, 'http://staging.selectec.com/674-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

They wanted to provide temporary access to ID cards for users that had forgotten or lost their own, and automatically remove the card number from PaperCut on a date the admins can pick when issuing the cards. This enables staff to carry on using the office''s printing facilities until they were able to find their existing card, or until they had replaced it with a new one.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis is how we helped the reseller, and hopefully, you''ll find it useful too!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">Where did we start?</h3>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">Let''s start by breaking it down into digestible chunks, so that we can see what the task entails. There were three parts in this case.</p>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Issuing temporary cards</li>\r\n 	<li>Automatically removing the card number from an account</li>\r\n 	<li>Allowing the admin or card issuer to set an expiration date</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Issuing temporary cards</h4>\r\nThe first part is fairly simple to handle. PaperCut can be set to self-associate new cards with the <a href="https://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/SelfAssociateSecondaryIDField">secondary ID field</a>, or as the cards are temporary the admin can put this value into the field manually.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Automatically removing card numbers</h4>\r\nRemoving the card number automatically from an account and setting an expiration date is the next task that we need to tackle. You can use the scheduling abilities of your OS API or a server command to do this. In our example we''ve used Powershell, this would look something like the example below which removes the secondary ID for all users.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<pre class="lang:ps"># Set the path to the server command binary\r\n$serverCommand = ''C:\\Program Files\\PaperCut MF\\server\\bin\\win\\server-command.exe''\r\n\r\n# Get a list of all the users\r\n$users = &amp;$serverCommand list-user-accounts\r\n\r\n# Loop over every user\r\nforeach ($user in $users) {\r\n  # Set the secondary-card-number user property to nothing\r\n  &amp;$serverCommand set-user-property $user "secondary-card-number" "`" `""\r\n}\r\n</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Set an expiration date</h4>\r\nThis now leaves us with the last part. How do we add an expiration date to this? We need somewhere where an admin can input a date and if needed, change it. To do this we settled on using the notes field under the users and a format of dd/mm/yyyy so if they wanted the card to expire on 30th November 2018 they would input 30/11/2018.\r\n\r\nNow, all we need to do is update the script to look at the notes field and compare it to the date the script is running and if it is that day or before remove the ID number.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h5 style="text-align: left;">Powershell</h5>\r\n<pre class="lang:ps">CLS\r\n\r\n# Location of Server Command exe\r\n$serverCommand = ''C:\\Program Files\\PaperCut MF\\server\\bin\\win\\server-command.exe''\r\n$todaysDate = Get-Date\r\n\r\nWrite-Host "Starting Cleanup"\r\n# Get user list\r\n$users = &amp;$serverCommand list-user-accounts\r\n\r\n# Loop users\r\nforeach ($user in $users) {\r\n  # Get the note field\r\n  $noteField = &amp;$serverCommand get-user-property $user "notes"\r\n  \r\n  # If note field contents matches a date pattern (dd/mm/yyyy)\r\n  if ($noteField -match ''^([0-2][0-9]|(3)[0-1])(\\/)(((0)[0-9])|((1)[0-2]))(\\/)\\d{4}$'') {\r\n    # Convert Note field to date object\r\n    $noteFieldAsDate = Get-Date -Date $notefield\r\n    \r\n    # Check if the date is in the past\r\n    if ($noteFieldAsDate -lt $todaysDate) {\r\n      Write-Host "The card for ''" $user "'' has expired"\r\n      # Remove the card number\r\n\r\n      &amp;$serverCommand set-user-property $user "secondary-card-number" "`" `""\r\n      # Clear the date from the notes field\r\n      &amp;$serverCommand set-user-property $user "notes" "`" `""\r\n    }\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n\r\nWrite-Host "Cleanup Completed"\r\n</pre>\r\n<h5 style="text-align: left;">Bash</h5>\r\n<pre class="lang:sh">#!/bin/bash\r\n\r\n# Location of Server Command binary\r\nserverCommand=/home/papercut/server/bin/linux-x64/server-command\r\ntodaysDate=$(date +%s)\r\n\r\necho "Starting Cleanup"\r\n\r\n# Get user list and loop over them\r\n"${serverCommand}" list-user-accounts | while read user ; do\r\n  # Get the note field\r\n  noteField=$("${serverCommand}" get-user-property $user "notes")\r\n  # If note field contents match a date pattern (dd/mm/yyyy)\r\n  if [[ $noteField =~ ^([0-2][0-9]|(3)[0-1])(\\/)(((0)[0-9])|((1)[0-2]))(\\/)[0-9]{4}$ ]] ; then\r\n    \r\n    # Convert Note field to unix timestamp, We do something ugly with the string to put it into y/m/d... sorry!\r\n    noteFieldAsDate=$(date +''%s'' -d "${noteField: -4}/${noteField: 3: 2}/${noteField: 0: 2}")\r\n    \r\n    # Check if the date is in the past\r\n    if [[ $noteFieldAsDate -lt $todaysDate ]] ; then\r\n      echo "The card for ''$user'' has expired"\r\n      # Remove the card number\r\n      "${serverCommand}" set-user-property $user "secondary-card-number" " "\r\n      \r\n      # Clear the date from the notes field\r\n      "${serverCommand}" set-user-property $user "notes" " "\r\n    fi\r\n  fi\r\ndone\r\n\r\necho "Cleanup Finished"\r\n</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis same theory could be used for guest users.

They wanted to provide temporary access to ID cards for users that had forgotten or lost their own, and automatically remove the card number from PaperCut on a date the admins can pick when issuing the cards. This enables staff to carry on using the office''s printing facilities until they were able to find their existing card, or until they had replaced it with a new one.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis is how we helped the reseller, and hopefully, you''ll find it useful too!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">Where did we start?</h3>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">Let''s start by breaking it down into digestible chunks, so that we can see what the task entails. There were three parts in this case.</p>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Issuing temporary cards</li>\r\n 	<li>Automatically removing the card number from an account</li>\r\n 	<li>Allowing the admin or card issuer to set an expiration date</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Issuing temporary cards</h4>\r\nThe first part is fairly simple to handle. PaperCut can be set to self-associate new cards with the <a href="https://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/SelfAssociateSecondaryIDField">secondary ID field</a>, or as the cards are temporary the admin can put this value into the field manually.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Automatically removing card numbers</h4>\r\nRemoving the card number automatically from an account and setting an expiration date is the next task that we need to tackle. You can use the scheduling abilities of your OS API or a server command to do this. In our example we''ve used Powershell, this would look something like the example below which removes the secondary ID for all users.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<pre class="lang:ps"># Set the path to the server command binary\r\n$serverCommand = ''C:\\Program Files\\PaperCut MF\\server\\bin\\win\\server-command.exe''\r\n\r\n# Get a list of all the users\r\n$users = &amp;$serverCommand list-user-accounts\r\n\r\n# Loop over every user\r\nforeach ($user in $users) {\r\n  # Set the secondary-card-number user property to nothing\r\n  &amp;$serverCommand set-user-property $user "secondary-card-number" "`" `""\r\n}\r\n</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Set an expiration date</h4>\r\nThis now leaves us with the last part. How do we add an expiration date to this? We need somewhere where an admin can input a date and if needed, change it. To do this we settled on using the notes field under the users and a format of dd/mm/yyyy so if they wanted the card to expire on 30th November 2018 they would input 30/11/2018.\r\n\r\nNow, all we need to do is update the script to look at the notes field and compare it to the date the script is running and if it is that day or before remove the ID number.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h5 style="text-align: left;">Powershell</h5>\r\n<pre class="lang:ps">CLS\r\n\r\n# Location of Server Command exe\r\n$serverCommand = ''C:\\Program Files\\PaperCut MF\\server\\bin\\win\\server-command.exe''\r\n$todaysDate = Get-Date\r\n\r\nWrite-Host "Starting Cleanup"\r\n# Get user list\r\n$users = &amp;$serverCommand list-user-accounts\r\n\r\n# Loop users\r\nforeach ($user in $users) {\r\n  # Get the note field\r\n  $noteField = &amp;$serverCommand get-user-property $user "notes"\r\n  \r\n  # If note field contents matches a date pattern (dd/mm/yyyy)\r\n  if ($noteField -match ''^([0-2][0-9]|(3)[0-1])(\\/)(((0)[0-9])|((1)[0-2]))(\\/)\\d{4}$'') {\r\n    # Convert Note field to date object\r\n    $noteFieldAsDate = Get-Date -Date $notefield\r\n    \r\n    # Check if the date is in the past\r\n    if ($noteFieldAsDate -lt $todaysDate) {\r\n      Write-Host "The card for ''" $user "'' has expired"\r\n      # Remove the card number\r\n\r\n      &amp;$serverCommand set-user-property $user "secondary-card-number" "`" `""\r\n      # Clear the date from the notes field\r\n      &amp;$serverCommand set-user-property $user "notes" "`" `""\r\n    }\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n\r\nWrite-Host "Cleanup Completed"\r\n</pre>\r\n<h5 style="text-align: left;">Bash</h5>\r\n<pre class="lang:sh">#!/bin/bash\r\n\r\n# Location of Server Command binary\r\nserverCommand=/home/papercut/server/bin/linux-x64/server-command\r\ntodaysDate=$(date +%s)\r\n\r\necho "Starting Cleanup"\r\n\r\n# Get user list and loop over them\r\n"${serverCommand}" list-user-accounts | while read user ; do\r\n  # Get the note field\r\n  noteField=$("${serverCommand}" get-user-property $user "notes")\r\n  # If note field contents match a date pattern (dd/mm/yyyy)\r\n  if [[ $noteField =~ ^([0-2][0-9]|(3)[0-1])(\\/)(((0)[0-9])|((1)[0-2]))(\\/)[0-9]{4}$ ]] ; then\r\n    \r\n    # Convert Note field to unix timestamp, We do something ugly with the string to put it into y/m/d... sorry!\r\n    noteFieldAsDate=$(date +''%s'' -d "${noteField: -4}/${noteField: 3: 2}/${noteField: 0: 2}")\r\n    \r\n    # Check if the date is in the past\r\n    if [[ $noteFieldAsDate -lt $todaysDate ]] ; then\r\n      echo "The card for ''$user'' has expired"\r\n      # Remove the card number\r\n      "${serverCommand}" set-user-property $user "secondary-card-number" " "\r\n      \r\n      # Clear the date from the notes field\r\n      "${serverCommand}" set-user-property $user "notes" " "\r\n    fi\r\n  fi\r\ndone\r\n\r\necho "Cleanup Finished"\r\n</pre>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis same theory could be used for guest users.

A secondary card number is useful when a user forgets their card, they can simply log in with a shorter ID number (it is unlikely the user will know/remember the number from the card).</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class="common-div" style="text-align: left;">Grayscale Device Auto Detect</h3>\r\n<p class="common-div">PaperCut will automatically detect greyscale-only printers and selects the most appropriate colour detection mode.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class="common-div" style="text-align: left;">New MF System Administrator Reports</h3>\r\n<p class="common-div">Two new reports have been added to improve communication of device usage.</p>\r\n<p class="common-div">The "<em>Device - scan/fax/copy breakdown</em>" report provides detailed usage information for each device.</p>\r\n<p class="common-div">The "<em>Shared account print/copy/scan/fax invoice</em>" report is tailored for invoicing device and printer usage by shared account.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class="common-div" style="text-align: left;">Web Print</h3>\r\n<p class="common-div">You can now drag and drop supported files into the Web Print upload box, no more clicking browse for your users.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class="common-div" style="text-align: left;">New authentication options</h3>\r\n<p class="common-div">You can now log in as a user to any part of PaperCut with your email address.</p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOn the 10th of April PaperCut released a security update for PaperCut (nothing to do with <a href="http://heartbleed.com/" rel="noopener">Heart Bleed</a>, PaperCut does not use Open SSL)  This new version is build 26983.\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">As always the full release notes are below. For more information on PaperCut MF 14.1 contact your account manager.</h3>\r\n&nbsp;', 'PaperCut MF v14.1', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '629-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-11-28 13:09:55', '2018-11-28 13:09:55', '', 629, 'http://staging.selectec.com/629-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

There is a lot to talk about so let us get started.\r\n\r\nFirst up we have support for two new embedded platforms. The Dell A4 C5765dn can now be embedded plus Xerox EIP 1.5 devices will now work with PaperCut MF. Many other platforms were updated with new features as well, be sure to read the release notes for the details.\r\n\r\nThe core server software has also been updated with various new enhancements. You can now track all changes made to users using the new Audit Logging tool.  As administration of PaperCut can be shared it is important to be able to audit changes made to users by admin staff.\r\n\r\nFor those working in secure print environments, you can make use of the document name hiding feature for those sensitive documents and make sure no one will be able to see what you are printing. Hiding document names wasn''t possible before 15.1 but can now be applied per print queue instead of per server.\r\n\r\nAnyone upgrading to Windows Server 2012 and worrying about <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831568.aspx" rel="nofollow noopener">Microsoft dropping support</a> for LPD you can continue to support the OSX and Linux machines connected to your print servers by using the new <a href="http://www.papercut.com/tour/line-printer-daemon-service/" rel="nofollow noopener">PaperCut LPD service</a>.\r\n\r\nAs well as these there are a lot of other new features and enhancements in this release like (the much requested) image support for web print and email2print and a couple of new print script recipes for Google Cloud Print and custom job timeouts.\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5em;">Any questions about the new features in PaperCut MF 15.1?

There is a lot to talk about so let us get started.\r\n\r\nFirst up we have support for two new embedded platforms. The Dell A4 C5765dn can now be embedded plus Xerox EIP 1.5 devices will now work with PaperCut MF. Many other platforms were updated with new features as well, be sure to read the release notes for the details.\r\n\r\nThe core server software has also been updated with various new enhancements. You can now track all changes made to users using the new Audit Logging tool.  As administration of PaperCut can be shared it is important to be able to audit changes made to users by admin staff.\r\n\r\nFor those working in secure print environments, you can make use of the document name hiding feature for those sensitive documents and make sure no one will be able to see what you are printing. Hiding document names wasn''t possible before 15.1 but can now be applied per print queue instead of per server.\r\n\r\nAnyone upgrading to Windows Server 2012 and worrying about <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831568.aspx" rel="nofollow noopener">Microsoft dropping support</a> for LPD you can continue to support the OSX and Linux machines connected to your print servers by using the new <a href="http://www.papercut.com/tour/line-printer-daemon-service/" rel="nofollow noopener">PaperCut LPD service</a>.\r\n\r\nAs well as these there are a lot of other new features and enhancements in this release like (the much requested) image support for web print and email2print and a couple of new print script recipes for Google Cloud Print and custom job timeouts.\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5em;">Any questions about the new features in PaperCut MF 15.1?

These days this largely involves understanding products at a deeper level to find how they can be bent to fit the customer’s requirements. He never set out to be a developer and would not consider himself one, but as with most things in Scott’s life, it needed doing so he just worked it out.\r\n\r\nOutside of work life, Scott has interests in scepticism and critical thinking (mainly due to liking a good argument), skiing, watching West Wing re-runs and getting into trouble along with his beagle, Darwin.\r\n\r\nWhilst writing this short biography he discovered Plato had nothing to say on what to do once you have examined your life.', 'Scott', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'scott', '', '', '2019-01-22 18:16:31', '2019-01-22 18:16:31', '', 0, 'http://staging.selectec.com/?post_type=team&#038;p=6132', 7, 'team', '', 0),

With the release of Job Ticketing back in February as part of the release of <a href="https://staging.selectec.com/papercut-mf-version-18-0/">PaperCut 18.0.2.</a> PaperCut''s dev team further demonstrated their innovative nature. Job Ticketing brought a whole new way of working which allowed PaperCut to be used to improve the workflows of both Commercial and Education establishments which quite often have smaller print rooms.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">Why we love Job Ticketing</h3>\r\nThe overall aim with Job Ticketing was to provide a cost-effective solution of around £3,000 - £4,000 in an arena where most solutions were costing circa £30,000, as well as the added benefit of being able to be deployed in 2 or 3 days as opposed to closer to 30 days for the alternatives. Since its launch enhancements have been continually added to Job Ticketing and this can be seen by the fact that there has been in excess of <a href="https://www.papercut.com/support/resources/manuals/job-ticketing/jobticketing/menu/print-room-release-notes.html">30 versions</a> since launch, and no, these have not just been bug fixes these are genuine new added features!\r\n\r\nFor me, the big change is about to come with the planned new version of Job Ticketing that''s being released around the end of November. This is a feature that a lot of people have seen as a key requirement, that''s right we''re talking about upfront job costing. It''s one of the most frequent requests PaperCut was being asked for, and it will be in the next version of PaperCut’s Job Ticketing.\r\n\r\nYou will be able to provide an upfront cost to the customer using the dashboard when they submit a pdf file for printing. You will also be able to, as default, see the price difference on options like stapling and lamination. It will have a fully customisable configuration, which will also enable you to apply premium prices for rushed deliveries and differing delivery options.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[widgetkit id="124"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">Why customers will love the new Job Ticketing</h3>\r\nOne of the things I like is the fact that as a customer, I can see the effects on the cost dynamically as I select them. This allows the user to avoid any nasty (price) shocks when the job is processed by the operator. Also, from the operator’s point of view, they have the option to go in and amend costs if needed and present the new cost to the customer electronically. Users will be able to approve the new cost before printing starts (improving the user''s experience), which operators will be updated on, on the user''s acceptance.\r\n\r\nFurther to this, you can also request, for example, business cards where the customer does not need to upload a file they just select options made available to them (such as contact details, office location, or type of material) and the print room does the rest, no more phone calls or answering calls is my job ready?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere is one more feature that you should be excited about... For those opportunities that don''t require the full-featured version including costing there will be a new low-cost option available!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[widgetkit id="125"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAll this information is available in the Job Ticketing client access which is part of the PaperCut Client which our existing users are quite often very familiar with.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5em;">If you want to know more please join me on my <a href="https://zoom.us/meeting/register/d4ed8fd289def84a34538d7d4481ef37">next webinar</a> at 10 am on 20th November where you can see this in action and with the opportunity to ask questions of myself and the team at PaperCut.</h3>', 'Job Ticketing for PaperCut', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5910-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-01-25 11:58:15', '2019-01-25 11:58:15', '', 5910, 'http://staging.selectec.com/5910-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

It includes the new Job Cost Estimation feature, along with all the original Job Ticketing functionality.\n\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6167 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/JT-print_room.png" alt="" width="1395" height="927" />\n\nAdmin and print room staff can add and update products for the end-user interface in the product settings panel.\n\nThe picture below shows the Workflow screen for the Print Room Operator.

Other than that, it contains the same full feature set as the Print Room version.\n\nWe hope to produce new marketing materials to help people who aren''t familiar with the concepts of "print room" Job Ticketing, to differentiate the two types of room.\n\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6169 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jt-fablab.png" alt="" width="1194" height="927" />\n\nAdmins can customise the Fab Lab user interface in the same way as the Print Room setup.\n\nThe Picture below shows the new cost estimation feature when a customer places an order. This is available on both Print room and Fab Lab versions.\n\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6170 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jt-new_cost_estimation_feature.png" alt="" width="983" height="794" />\n<h3>Mini Print Rooms</h3>\n\n<hr />\n\nMini Print Rooms are intended to be used with smaller customers that might not have full-blown production printers in their print room, but rather one or two MFDs. This version has a slimmed-down feature set to make it less complicated for smaller customers and to aid faster setup/deployment.\n\nIt does not include the cost estimation feature like the other versions and also only allows a maximum of five products and three workflow stages as illustrated below.\n\nThe Mini Print Rooms are where the majority of changes have occurred and this has been reflected in the price (it is the cheaper option).\n\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6171 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jt-mini_room.png" alt="" width="1043" height="927" />\n\n<strong>Other options and features:</strong>\n\nFurther features can be set up in the scripting function on the main PaperCut admin interface, which can be set for any print queue. This includes an option for a popup when a user clicks print, alerting them to the new print room. There is also an option to redirect users to the Print Room when they attempt to print a large document that is too large for the site''s smaller printers and or MFDs.\n<h3 style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5em;">Hopefully, this gives you a better idea of the new room types and features of the latest incarnation of Job Ticketing.

It includes Job Cost Estimation, along with all the original Job Ticketing functionality.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6167 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/JT-print_room.png" alt="" width="1395" height="927" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdmin and print room staff can add and update products for the end-user interface in the admin product display options.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe picture below shows the Workflow screen for the Print Room Operator. You can customise the Workflow stages to show or hide them as desired.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6168 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/JT-print_room2.png" alt="" width="1747" height="927" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Fab Labs</h3>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\nJob Ticketing for Fab Labs has the same functionality as the Print Rooms version, the only difference is that it contains terminology and options that are familiar to Fab Lab operators, as they didn''t particularly find paper finishes and bookbinding useful! Other then that, it contains the same full feature set as the Print Room version.\r\n\r\nWe hope to produce new marketing materials to help people who aren''t familiar with the concepts of "print room" Job Ticketing, to differentiate the two types of room.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6169 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jt-fablab.png" alt="" width="1194" height="927" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdmins can customise the Fab Lab user interface in the same way as the Print Room setup.\r\n\r\nThe Picture below shows the new cost estimation feature when a customer places an order.

This version has a slimmed-down feature set to make it less complicated for smaller customers and to aid faster setup/deployment.\r\n\r\nIt does not include the cost estimation feature like the other versions and also only allows a maximum of five products and three workflow stages as illustrated below.\r\n\r\nThe Mini Print Rooms are where the majority of changes have occurred and this has been reflected in the price (it is the cheaper option).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6171 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jt-mini_room.png" alt="" width="1043" height="927" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Other options and features:</strong>\r\n\r\nFurther features can be set up in the scripting function on the main PaperCut admin interface, which can be set for any print queue. This includes an option for a popup when a user clicks print, alerting them to the new print room. There is also an option to redirect users to the Print Room when they attempt to print a large document that is too large for the site''s smaller printers and or MFDs.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5em;">Hopefully, this gives you a better idea of the new room types and features of the latest incarnation of Job Ticketing.

With the release of Job Ticketing back in February as part of the release of <a href="https://staging.selectec.com/papercut-mf-version-18-0/">PaperCut 18.0.2.</a> PaperCut''s dev team further demonstrated their innovative nature. Job Ticketing brought a whole new way of working which allowed PaperCut to be used to improve the workflows of both Commercial and Education establishments which quite often have smaller print rooms.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">Why we love Job Ticketing</h3>\r\nThe overall aim with Job Ticketing was to provide a cost-effective solution of around £3,000 - £4,000 in an arena where most solutions were costing circa £30,000, as well as the added benefit of being able to be deployed in 2 or 3 days as opposed to closer to 30 days for the alternatives. Since its launch enhancements have been continually added to Job Ticketing and this can be seen by the fact that there has been in excess of <a href="https://www.papercut.com/support/resources/manuals/job-ticketing/jobticketing/menu/print-room-release-notes.html">30 versions</a> since launch, and no, these have not just been bug fixes these are genuine new added features!\r\n\r\nFor me, the big change is about to come with the planned new version of Job Ticketing that''s being released around the end of November. This is a feature that a lot of people have seen as a key requirement, that''s right we''re talking about upfront job costing. It''s one of the most frequent requests PaperCut was being asked for, and it will be in the next version of PaperCut’s Job Ticketing.\r\n\r\nYou will be able to provide an upfront cost to the customer using the dashboard when they submit a pdf file for printing. You will also be able to, as default, see the price difference on options like stapling and lamination. It will have a fully customisable configuration, which will also enable you to apply premium prices for rushed deliveries and differing delivery options.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[widgetkit id="124"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">Why customers will love the new Job Ticketing</h3>\r\nOne of the things I like is the fact that as a customer, I can see the effects on the cost dynamically as I select them. This allows the user to avoid any nasty (price) shocks when the job is processed by the operator. Also, from the operator’s point of view, they have the option to go in and amend costs if needed and present the new cost to the customer electronically. Users will be able to approve the new cost before printing starts (improving the user''s experience), which operators will be updated on, on the user''s acceptance.\r\n\r\nFurther to this, you can also request, for example, business cards where the customer does not need to upload a file they just select options made available to them (such as contact details, office location, or type of material) and the print room does the rest, no more phone calls or answering calls is my job ready?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere is one more feature that you should be excited about... For those opportunities that don''t require the full-featured version including costing there will be a new low-cost option available!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[widgetkit id="125"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAll this information is available in the Job Ticketing client access which is part of the PaperCut Client which our existing users are quite often very familiar with.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5em;">If you''d like to know more, <a href="https://staging.selectec.com/contact/">get in touch</a> with our team, who will be happy to help you!</h3>', 'Job Ticketing for PaperCut', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5910-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-01-28 16:31:19', '2019-01-28 16:31:19', '', 5910, 'http://staging.selectec.com/5910-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

It is something we all get involved in from time to time, usually when we have a deadline to meet. Different people will give you different advice. Something we always hear, based on the capabilities of the modern day scanners that we find in most offices, is “Don’t send that via email, it will be too large a file”. But, how do you send your files when they are ''too large'' to send via email?\r\n\r\nAdmittedly there are many “Cloud” options where you can upload your file and share it. However, you should bear in mind that the document is then going to a “third party” where you lose control of the data. Where is it going - UK, EU or worldwide? Also, will the intended recipient need to have an account to be granted permissions to access it the other end? All this needs to be considered and typically when you have a deadline to meet! So, how do you ensure that you remain in control of your files? Especially when you need to share them with someone else.\r\n\r\nIntroducing <a href="https://staging.selectec.com/products/foldr/">Foldr</a>! Easy to get deployed and configured based on your existing “on-premise” file structure. Gives the ability to work with your files and share them internally and externally while keeping them within your existing infrastructure.

The first thing they do list is all the potential problems that they experience or foresee, but we say, hang on a minute.... have you heard about Liberty from KPAX?\r\n\r\nAll fleet management software requires an agent to sit on the customer''s network to collect the varying amounts of information regarding the machines being monitored. Monitoring meter readings, toner levels, alerts etc and the need for this to be up to date, accurate and reliable is extremely high on the requirement list of any solution.\r\nThe age-old problem with the software agent is that they can stop working due to an issue with the computer they are installed upon or even outside intervention.\r\n\r\nThis is where Liberty comes in as it is a “Hardware Agent”. You can configure it in your office, you send it to your customer and they simply plug it into their network. Within a short time period, you have all the information you need reliably available to you. Liberty is not a mini PC, nor is it a Raspberry Pi, it has no OS, it does not require any antivirus software. Best of all, it protects its data with its highest level of AES encryption available (AES 256 bits).\r\n\r\n<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4187" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/not_a_pi-1024x576.jpg" alt="Not a Pi" width="660" height="371" />\r\n\r\nSo then we have the problem concerning getting that all important ROI (Return On Investment). Well, we can help there too, by using the KPAX Business Intelligence Web Portal.\r\nThe BI Portal is dedicated to sales staff, analysts or consultants and provides a comprehensive amount of data in a graphical format of your customer''s site. This can show changes in volume (daily, monthly and yearly), predictive usage based on historical use. You also have the option to configure the dashboards with “widgets” and then produce comprehensive reports to be sent to your customers.\r\nThis, I am sure you would agree is a useful tool in any MPS scenario or fleet replacement situation.\r\n\r\n<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4188" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/bi_dash-1024x560.png" alt="bi_dash" width="660" height="361" />\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3>Wish to learn more about KPAX?

Mike is on the road a lot and has been making extensive use of Foldr during his day to day and had the following commentary.\n\nUsually, when a new software product joins the portfolio, I look at it and think how could I use this in what I do, how can I explain it to people and why would people want to buy it? With <a href="/products/foldr/">Foldr</a> I had a very early opportunity to address these questions in a live environment.\n\nRecently I was out with a reseller having lunch and we were discussing software products and, in particular, <a href="/products/getscan-ocr-papercut/" rel="noopener">GetScan</a> which is a new OCR plugin for <a href="/products/papercut/" rel="noopener">PaperCut</a>. Much like most companies we have documents in a number of places. I have documents in <a href="http://www.box.com" rel="noopener">Box</a>, <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/" rel="noopener">Dropbox</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/drive/" rel="noopener">Google Drive</a>, <a href="https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-ca/business/" rel="noopener">One Drive</a> and also in on-premise locations such as my Home Folder and other network shares.\n\nFollowing the discussion, I needed to provide my reseller with some collateral on <a href="/products/getscan-ocr-papercut/" rel="noopener">GetScan</a>. With <a href="/products/foldr/">Foldr</a> this was easy. I did not have to remember where the collateral was stored as Foldr found this for me. I was instantly able to create a Share with a URL and a QR Code. The reseller was able to scan the code and instantly download the collateral. Additionally, this meant that if I updated the documentation or added more information this would become instantly available. If this had been a quotation, for example, I could even have put an expiry date on the share. All of this was done using the iOS App for Foldr.\n\nTo me, this illustrates that just using the basic functionality of <a href="/products/foldr/">Foldr</a>, access to your files wherever they are is simple and controllable without the need for VPN connections etc, a real benefit for the remote workers with the instant availability of all documentation including that held at HQ.\nI would also point out that this access and control is also available on Android, Chromebooks and Windows Laptops etc.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2 class="content-title col-green">What Next?</h2>\n\n<hr />\n\n&nbsp;\n\nLooking to add Foldr to your solutions portfolio or simply have some questions then get in touch with your Channel Manager?\n\nTo assist with the sales process, we are happy to provide live web-based demos, reseller NFRs and make 30 day free trials available to your customers.\n<div class="well well-lg">\n<h3>Get in touch today | <a href="mailto:sales@selectec.com">sales@selectec.com</a></h3>\n</div>', 'Foldr In The Real World', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3851-autosave-v1', '', '', '2019-01-28 16:53:03', '2019-01-28 16:53:03', '', 3851, 'http://staging.selectec.com/3851-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

This version has a slimmed-down feature set to make it less complicated for smaller customers and to aid faster setup/deployment.\n\nIt does not include the cost estimation feature like the other versions and also only allows a maximum of five products and three workflow stages as illustrated below.\n\nThe Mini Print Rooms are where the majority of changes have occurred and this has been reflected in the price (it is the cheaper option).\n\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6171 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jt-mini_room.png" alt="" width="1043" height="927" />\n\n<strong>Other options and features:</strong>\n\nFurther features can be set up in the scripting function on the main PaperCut admin interface, which can be set for any print queue. This includes an option for a popup when a user clicks print, alerting them to the new print room. There is also an option to redirect users to the Print Room when they attempt to print a large document that is too large for the site''s smaller printers and or MFDs.\n<h3 style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5em;">Hopefully, this gives you a better idea of the new room types and features of the latest incarnation of Job Ticketing.

This is available on both Print room and Fab Lab versions.\n\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6170 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jt-new_cost_estimation_feature.png" alt="" width="983" height="794" />\n<h3>Mini Print Rooms</h3>\n\n<hr />\n\nMini Print Rooms are intended to be used with smaller customers that might not have full-blown production printers in their print room, but rather one or two MFDs. This version has a slimmed-down feature set to make it less complicated for smaller customers and to aid faster setup/deployment.\n\nIt does not include the cost estimation feature like the other versions and also only allows a maximum of five products and three workflow stages as illustrated below.\n\nThe Mini Print Rooms are where the majority of changes have occurred and this has been reflected in the price (it is the cheaper option).\n\n<img class="size-full wp-image-6171 aligncenter" src="https://staging.selectec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/jt-mini_room.png" alt="" width="1043" height="927" />\n\n<strong>Other options and features:</strong>\n\nFurther features can be set up in the scripting function on the main PaperCut admin interface, which can be set for any print queue. This includes an option for a popup when a user clicks print, alerting them to the new print room. There is also an option to redirect users to the Print Room when they attempt to print a large document that is too large for the site''s smaller printers and or MFDs.\n<h3 style="text-align: left; line-height: 1.5em;">Hopefully, this gives you a better idea of the new room types and features of the latest incarnation of Job Ticketing. Please do let us know if you would like any further information, demonstrations, training or assistance, or just fancy a chat.</h3>\n<h3>Get in touch today | <a href="mailto:sales@selectec.com">sales@selectec.com</a></h3>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h4></h4>\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Related posts:</h4>\n<a href="https://staging.selectec.com/job-ticketing-for-papercut/">New to PaperCut''s Job Ticketing</a>', 'Job Ticketing, FabLabs and Mini Rooms', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '6165-autosave-v1', '', '', '2019-02-05 09:03:55', '2019-02-05 09:03:55', '', 6165, 'http://staging.selectec.com/6165-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Still mildly surprised when they swallowed sheets of paper magically transforming them into clever computer pictures like the TV-ray from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. A tap on the door and there stands a shiny-suited software developer telling us they have software to do ‘stuff’ with these images. They can do ‘things’ with digital files. Most importantly we need to do this stuff and these things with them as the world is going to hate paper and it is the way of the future.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Many of us invested, drank the Kool-Aid if you will. It was supposed to be the next big thing...then it wasn’t.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><br></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {"level":3,"align":"left"} -->\n<h3 style="text-align:left">&nbsp;Why it didn''t work out as planned</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The truth of it was that the average Managed Print Reseller engages deeply with SMB/SME businesses. While the Stuff and Things the software could do were very clever, the cost was disproportionate to the benefits they offered. SME businesses at that time simply didn’t have the market forces that made the results valuable enough. We realised quickly that to follow this dream meant a complete change of business structure. Some made the leap and subsequently made successes of the endeavour, most learned from their customers that it was a leap that the small-to-medium company wasn’t ready for.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>A key point was the lack of those outside forces. Back then at the time of Doc Management 1.0, there wasn’t legislation such as GDPR. There wasn’t the sheer speed of transaction that we see now. Mobility meant the ability to walk unaided and had nothing to do with working from any square inch of the planet from any gadget you fancied.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The shiny software guys moved on and left the managed print world alone. Sure, many resellers kept a token product, ready to answer any enquires they couldn’t avoid. The software guys shouldered the burdens of selling their Stuff and Things, rapidly having to increase costs and project size to remain viable. Meaning that while the larger customers with a justifiable need moved on, Mr and Mrs SME were largely ignored.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The problem is the shiny software guy doesn’t have the method to transact with them. All that time in the big offices and ivory towers has left a legacy of complex solutions and costly interactions. In light of this, Mr and Mrs SMB are picking up the telephone (or keyboard, it’s a digital world after all) to the humble Managed Print resellers. Some because those resellers market themselves as Document Solutions businesses despite a large percentage of their revenues still coming from printed pages. More are calling because they still run on paper processes.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<p> <br> </p>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {"level":3,"align":"left"} -->\n<h3 style="text-align:left">So what ended up happening?</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In a Scooby Doo style blur of time, we land in the here and now. GDPR is a thing. SMB customers are transacting with global organisations simply to move their products, small ventures reaching the market via the massive animals of the Amazon Market Place or eBay. Block Chain is a digital beast cresting the horizon as businesses like Ford begin to form strategies into which the endless small component and service suppliers will need to fit. It’s a brave and exciting world. A world where those small businesses need some clever stuff and things.&nbsp;<br><br>Most businesses running on paper with a need to become less reliant on those pages simply want a digital version of the process that they run their businesses on. They also want to talk to a real person who knows about the paper and they want financial tools to fund the transformation. All things the resellers still have, while software companies have gone all remote and Webinar.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<p><br></p>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>According to <a href="https://quocirca.com/">Quocirca</a>, the uptake of digital processes in SME and SMB customers is set to increase by 47% in the next 5 years*. The best-placed organisations to deliver on this are the humble MPS partners. All they need is a simple product portfolio designed to bring broad strokes of efficiency at reasonable investment and to avoid a million unusable features that simply make the delivery of a project too complicated and expensive. The reality is that both reseller and customers are looking for tools that can actually be implemented and show a return on investments quickly and easily.&nbsp;<br><br>Products like <a href="/products/square-9-enterprise-content-management/">Square 9</a> Softworks Global Capture that locks documents into pre-defined workflows regardless of their source; or <a href="/products/foldr/">Foldr</a> with its simple ability to search document content wherever it resides, including any cloud service or local storage, and to share it with people easily, even if they are from outside their own organisation.&nbsp;<br><br><br></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {"level":3,"align":"left"} -->\n<h3 style="text-align:left">Conclusion</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>By creating simple solutions that don’t add business steps, huge increases in efficiency can be delivered cost-effectively. Of course, a totally tailored, bespoke solution could deliver a more encompassing solution, but do the cost and disruption justify the choice of a complex project over the 80%  efficiency of a simple one? More to the point, bespoke solutions require the level of skill and knowledge that place their sale in the hands of suppliers with high overheads and costs. After all, how many of us buy our clothes from bespoke tailors rather than off the peg? Reality is that a bespoke suit fits perfectly while a good off-the-peg offering may not have the that totally made to measure feel…but you’re still warm, comfy and you bought it and wore it quickly and efficiently.

They wanted to provide temporary access to ID cards for users that had forgotten or lost their own, and automatically remove the card number from PaperCut on a date the admins can pick when issuing the cards. This enables staff to carry on using the office''s printing facilities until they were able to find their existing card, or until they had replaced it with a new one.\n\nThis is how we helped the reseller, and hopefully, you''ll find it useful too!\n<h3 style="text-align: left;">Where did we start?</h3>\n<p style="text-align: left;">Let''s start by breaking it down into digestible chunks, so that we can see what the task entails. There were three parts in this case.</p>\n\n<ol>\n 	<li>Issuing temporary cards</li>\n 	<li>Automatically removing the card number from an account</li>\n 	<li>Allowing the admin or card issuer to set an expiration date</li>\n</ol>\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Issuing temporary cards</h4>\nThe first part is fairly simple to handle. PaperCut can be set to self-associate new cards with the <a href="https://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/SelfAssociateSecondaryIDField">secondary ID field</a>, or as the cards are temporary the admin can put this value into the field manually.\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Automatically removing card numbers</h4>\nRemoving the card number automatically from an account and setting an expiration date is the next task that we need to tackle. You can use the scheduling abilities of your OS API or a server command to do this. In our example we''ve used Powershell, this would look something like the example below which removes the secondary ID for all users.\n<pre class="lang:ps crayon-selected"># Set the path to the server command binary\n$serverCommand = ''C:\\Program Files\\PaperCut MF\\server\\bin\\win\\server-command.exe''\n\n# Get a list of all the users\n$users = &amp;$serverCommand list-user-accounts\n\n# Loop over every user\nforeach ($user in $users) {\n  # Set the secondary-card-number user property to nothing\n  &amp;$serverCommand set-user-property $user "secondary-card-number" "`" `""\n}\n</pre>\n<h4 style="text-align: left;">Set an expiration date</h4>\nThis now leaves us with the last part. How do we add an expiration date to this? We need somewhere where an admin can input a date and if needed, change it. To do this we settled on using the notes field under the users and a format of dd/mm/yyyy so if they wanted the card to expire on 30th November 2018 they would input 30/11/2018.\n\nNow, all we need to do is update the script to look at the notes field and compare it to the date the script is running and if it is that day or before remove the ID number.\n<h5 style="text-align: left;">Powershell</h5>\n<pre class="lang:ps">CLS\n\n# Location of Server Command exe\n$serverCommand = ''C:\\Program Files\\PaperCut MF\\server\\bin\\win\\server-command.exe''\n$todaysDate = Get-Date\n\nWrite-Host "Starting Cleanup"\n# Get user list\n$users = &amp;$serverCommand list-user-accounts\n\n# Loop users\nforeach ($user in $users) {\n  # Get the note field\n  $noteField = &amp;$serverCommand get-user-property $user "notes"\n  \n  # If note field contents matches a date pattern (dd/mm/yyyy)\n  if ($noteField -match ''^([0-2][0-9]|(3)[0-1])(\\/)(((0)[0-9])|((1)[0-2]))(\\/)\\d{4}</pre>\n<h5 style="text-align: left;">Bash</h5>\n<pre class="lang:sh">#!/bin/bash\n\n# Location of Server Command binary\nserverCommand=/home/papercut/server/bin/linux-x64/server-command\ntodaysDate=$(date +%s)\n\necho "Starting Cleanup"\n\n# Get user list and loop over them\n"${serverCommand}" list-user-accounts | while read user ; do\n  # Get the note field\n  noteField=$("${serverCommand}" get-user-property $user "notes")\n  # If note field contents match a date pattern (dd/mm/yyyy)\n  if [[ $noteField =~ ^([0-2][0-9]|(3)[0-1])(\\/)(((0)[0-9])|((1)[0-2]))(\\/)[0-9]{4}$ ]] ; then\n    \n    # Convert Note field to unix timestamp, We do something ugly with the string to put it into y/m/d... sorry!\n    noteFieldAsDate=$(date +''%s'' -d "${noteField: -4}/${noteField: 3: 2}/${noteField: 0: 2}")\n    \n    # Check if the date is in the past\n    if [[ $noteFieldAsDate -lt $todaysDate ]] ; then\n      echo "The card for ''$user'' has expired"\n      # Remove the card number\n      "${serverCommand}" set-user-property $user "secondary-card-number" " "\n      \n      # Clear the date from the notes field\n      "${serverCommand}" set-user-property $user "notes" " "\n    fi\n  fi\ndone\n\necho "Cleanup Finished"\n</pre>\nThis same theory could be used for guest users. You could create an internal user in PaperCut for guests so they could use Web Print or Mobility Print; put an expiration date into the notes field, and delete the user on the day.

Still mildly surprised when they swallowed sheets of paper magically transforming them into clever computer pictures like the TV-ray from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. A tap on the door and there stands a shiny-suited software developer telling us they have software to do ‘stuff’ with these images. They can do ‘things’ with digital files. Most importantly we need to do this stuff and these things with them as the world is going to hate paper and it is the way of the future.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Many of us invested, drank the Kool-Aid if you will. It was supposed to be the next big thing...then it wasn’t.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><br></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {"level":3,"align":"left"} -->\n<h3 style="text-align:left">&nbsp;Why it didn''t work out as planned</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The truth of it was that the average Managed Print Reseller engages deeply with SMB/SME businesses. While the Stuff and Things the software could do were very clever, the cost was disproportionate to the benefits they offered. SME businesses at that time simply didn’t have the market forces that made the results valuable enough. We realised quickly that to follow this dream meant a complete change of business structure. Some made the leap and subsequently made successes of the endeavour, most learned from their customers that it was a leap that the small-to-medium company wasn’t ready for.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>A key point was the lack of those outside forces. Back then at the time of Doc Management 1.0, there wasn’t legislation such as GDPR. There wasn’t the sheer speed of transaction that we see now. Mobility meant the ability to walk unaided and had nothing to do with working from any square inch of the planet from any gadget you fancied.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The shiny software guys moved on and left the managed print world alone. Sure, many resellers kept a token product, ready to answer any enquires they couldn’t avoid. The software guys shouldered the burdens of selling their Stuff and Things, rapidly having to increase costs and project size to remain viable. Meaning that while the larger customers with a justifiable need moved on, Mr and Mrs SME were largely ignored.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The problem is the shiny software guy doesn’t have the method to transact with them. All that time in the big offices and ivory towers has left a legacy of complex solutions and costly interactions. In light of this, Mr and Mrs SMB are picking up the telephone (or keyboard, it’s a digital world after all) to the humble Managed Print resellers. Some because those resellers market themselves as Document Solutions businesses despite a large percentage of their revenues still coming from printed pages. More are calling because they still run on paper processes.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<p> <br> </p>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {"level":3,"align":"left"} -->\n<h3 style="text-align:left">So what ended up happening?</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In a Scooby Doo style blur of time, we land in the here and now. GDPR is a thing. SMB customers are transacting with global organisations simply to move their products, small ventures reaching the market via the massive animals of the Amazon Market Place or eBay. Block Chain is a digital beast cresting the horizon as businesses like Ford begin to form strategies into which the endless small component and service suppliers will need to fit. It’s a brave and exciting world. A world where those small businesses need some clever stuff and things.&nbsp;<br><br>Most businesses running on paper with a need to become less reliant on those pages simply want a digital version of the process that they run their businesses on. They also want to talk to a real person who knows about the paper and they want financial tools to fund the transformation. All things the resellers still have, while software companies have gone all remote and Webinar.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<p><br></p>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>According to <a href="https://quocirca.com/">Quocirca</a>, the uptake of digital processes in SME and SMB customers is set to increase by 47% in the next 5 years*. The best-placed organisations to deliver on this are the humble MPS partners. All they need is a simple product portfolio designed to bring broad strokes of efficiency at reasonable investment and to avoid a million unusable features that simply make the delivery of a project too complicated and expensive. The reality is that both reseller and customers are looking for tools that can actually be implemented and show a return on investments quickly and easily.&nbsp;<br><br>Products like <a href="/products/square-9-enterprise-content-management/">Square 9</a> Softworks Global Capture that locks documents into pre-defined workflows regardless of their source; or <a href="/products/foldr/">Foldr</a> with its simple ability to search document content wherever it resides, including any cloud service or local storage, and to share it with people easily, even if they are from outside their own organisation.&nbsp;<br><br><br></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {"level":3,"align":"left"} -->\n<h3 style="text-align:left">Conclusion</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>By creating simple solutions that don’t add business steps, huge increases in efficiency can be delivered cost-effectively. Of course, a totally tailored, bespoke solution could deliver a more encompassing solution, but do the cost and disruption justify the choice of a complex project over the 80%  efficiency of a simple one? More to the point, bespoke solutions require the level of skill and knowledge that place their sale in the hands of suppliers with high overheads and costs. After all, how many of us buy our clothes from bespoke tailors rather than off the peg? Reality is that a bespoke suit fits perfectly while a good off-the-peg offering may not have the that totally made to measure feel…but you’re still warm, comfy and you bought it and wore it quickly and efficiently.
