7.1 Enabling On-Device Printing

All unrestricted PaperCut users are allowed to perform on-device printing. Users can

be given unrestricted rights by going to the PaperCut administration interface Users

tab, selecting the user, going to the User Details tab and un-checking the Restricted

checkbox.

In addition a PaperCut Sharp device can be configured to allow all users to perform

on-device printing. This can be done by going to the PaperCut administration

interface Devices tab, selecting the device then going to the Config Editor tab and

setting “ext-device.sharp_osa.allow-on-device-print-for-restricted-users” to “Y”.

However, if restricted users are allowed on-device printing they may overrun their

account as on-device printing cannot be blocked once the user is logged in.

As a measure of security, users with zero or negative balance can be prevented from

logging into the device in the first place, to do so enable tracking of all of copying,

scanning and faxing and set a page price for each greater than zero.

7.2 Tracking On-Device Printing

On-device print jobs are tracked in the device’s job log as Copy jobs. They can be

distinguished from regular print jobs by the comment “USB Print”, “SMB Print”, “FTP

Print” or “Retrieved Print”.

On-Device print jobs are charged at the same rate as Copy jobs.
