Any questions? get in touch.

Did you know the Copicode IP can be configured as a Print Release only terminal?

The default behaviour then becomes:

• A user sends their job or jobs to the Find Me or any printer set up as a hold release queue.
• The user then authenticates at the Copicode-IP (usually with a swipe reader or proximity card)
• All print jobs are then released and the Copicode-IP display returns to the Logon Screen.

This mode is useful if you only require the print release function and ideally suited to swipe or prox release environments.

Got a Copicode IP and want to test it out? then select mode 6 when installing.

Any questions just ask.

This is a bugfix release for PaperCut MF 9.6, and contains the following changes:

Enhancements:

•Enabled virtual queues (Find Me Printing and load balancing) for use with Web Print.
•Improved memory allocation on PPC based Macs, resulting in better performance on this platform.
•Improved Slovenian translations.
•Mac: Performance improvements when analyzing very large PostScript jobs.
•Group selection lists in the admin interface now all include “Enlarge” links next to them, for sites with very long group/OU names that all start the same.
•Shared account list report in CSV now includes the parent account code on each line.
•Added feature to allow real-time lookup of a user’s card/ID number in an external database.
•CBORD Payment Gateway: Improved support for using release stations and copier devices when using the CBORD live/on-demand transfer mode.
Fixes:

•Introduced workaround for long-standing Windows bug that resulted in network connectivity issues and non-paged pool memory leaks at some large sites.
•Fixed problems using the new print job refund requesting features when running PaperCut on an Oracle database.
•Fixed problem preventing print jobs from being manually refunded when the cost had been rounded for display.
•Fixed problem using Web Print for users who had the manager mode pop-up enabled.
•Fixed problems with Find Me Printing when the print queue name contained non-ASCII Unicode characters.
•Web Print: Fixed problems handling jobs with document names that contained non-ASCII Unicode characters.
•Fixed problem that could cause the Web Print service to stop unexpectedly.
•Fixed issue on CentOS x64 running CUPS that may have prevented PaperCut from working with particular backend types.
•Improved Web Print support when using the sandbox method with a Linux primary server.
Printer compatibility improvements:

•Improved page size detection when printing custom sizes with InDesign on the Mac.
Copier / Device Integration:

•Sharp OSA:
•Fixed problem that displayed users as “Unrestricted” if they had a negative balance. This would only be displayed if overdrafts were enabled that allowed the user to continue copying even after their balance was negative.

Find Me printing solves the problem of finding the closest printer from a long list of available printers. It is a roaming print service that allows print jobs to find users based on their physical location. It’s sometimes referred to as “Pull Printing”, “Push Printing” or “Follow Me” printing. It’s a great solution for large sites operating a common printer fleet.
