2. To familiarize yourself with the features and functionality of PaperCut and the

embedded application.

This section outlines four test scenarios that are applicable for most organizations.

Please complete all the test scenarios relevant for your site.

3.1 Test Preparation

To complete these tests it is recommended to use two test users so that each can be

configured differently. These users are:

 ‘testusersimple’ – is used to perform basic copier monitoring and

control and to perform print release tests.

 ‘testuseradvanced’ – is used to perform copier monitoring and control

with the account selection enabled (i.e. to charge copying to

accounts/departments/cost-centers/etc).

To setup these users in PaperCut:

1. Create the ‘testusersimple’ and ‘testuseradvanced’ users in your Active

Directory or LDAP directory.

2. Login to the PaperCut’s admin web interface

3. Go to the “Options->User/Group sync” page and press “Sync Now”.

4. Once the sync is complete, the users will be added to PaperCut.

The next step is to configure the users. To configure ‘testusersimple’:

1. In PaperCut, select the “Users” tab

2. Select the ‘testusersimple’ user.

3. Set the user’s balance to $50.00 and verify the account is set to “Restricted”.

4. Verify that this user is set to “Automatically charge to personal account” in the

“Account selection” options.

5. Press the “OK” button to save.
