PaperCut (Extender)

The PaperCut Extender is a legacy integration and is no longer supported. If you’re setting up PaperCut for the first time, use PaperCut Bridge. If you still use the extender, move to PaperCut Bridge — see Moving from the PaperCut extender.

Overview

The original PaperCut integration connects PaperCut MF or NG to Nexudus through the Nexudus PaperCut Extender, a program that runs on a Windows or Linux computer next to your PaperCut server. It sends customers and their printing credit to PaperCut, and brings their print jobs back to Nexudus to be charged. It works with the same pricing models as PaperCut Bridge.

Settings

The settings are in Settings → Integrations → PaperCut. If your locations share one PaperCut server, they’re managed from one location — switch to that location to change them.

How customers are added

The extender adds and removes PaperCut users every 15 minutes, as customers gain and lose printing access. To sync everyone straight away, select Sync all customers. Suspended customers are never added. If a customer has a company and an individual account with the same email address, they’re added using the individual account. Customers sign in to PaperCut with their email address and PIN, and release prints with their PIN — or with their phone, if you use ELATEC readers.
