During the installation phase of PaperCut NG, there are three options available to choose from:
*Education
*Small/Medium Enterprise (SME) or Corporate
*Professional (Client Billing)
The installation type you choose will determine how the software is setup and configured for your environment. The following is a list of the differences and similarities between the thee configuration types
!!Registry
The registry settings for a PaperCut NG installations are identical. There are no additional registry entries that are added to a PaperCut NG server when the software is installed.
!!PaperCut NG installation
The initial part of the installation of PaperCut NG is identical up to the point of selecting the configuration type that you wish to use to prepare your PaperCut Application Server with.
At the end of this document you will find the initial installation screens along with the different options available with the different installation types. This section will attempt to explain the different screens you will encounter during installation along with the results of the default options.
!!!Education
The education installation takes you through the following steps:
#Set the default costs of printing for color and grayscale.
#On the next screen you will set the initial credit for the users. The default option here has ticked the following option: Deny access when users run out of credit/quota. \
'''Note:''' if you set the initial credit for users to 0, and keep the “Deny access when users run out of credit/quota” option, users will first have to top up their accounts before they will be able to print.
#The final screen of the installation is to select the sync source and run a synchronization.
!!!Small/Medium Enterprise (SME) or Corporate
The SME installation takes you through the following steps:
#Set the default costs of printing for color and grayscale.
#Select the Sync source and choose to synchronise.
!!!Professional (Client Billing)
The professional installation takes you through the following steps:
#Set the default costs of printing for color and grayscale.
#Select the Sync source and choose to synchronise.
#This now displays the User Client Options Screen where you have two options:
##Minimal Impact (initial single user testing). If you select this option you can enter in a single username to apply these settings for testing purposes.
## Immediate Implementation (Enable for all users). This option will apply the settings to all users. If you choose this option a warning will appear stating: Enabling the account popup will stop/pause all users printing until the client software is deployed.” \
'''Note:''' Option (b) requires that you have deployed the client software to all user computers to allow the staff to be able to select the account that they wish to charge to when they choose to print.
#This will now synchronize the users into PaperCut and configure the accounts based on the selection you chose on the “User Client Options” screen.
Once you log in to PaperCut NG there are a number of different selected options based on the installation type chosen. The following tables list the differences between the options within PaperCut NG.
