Print Release Stations with PaperCut NG or PaperCut MF offer an alternative to keep your legacy or aged printers in use. Acting as a dedicated PC terminal, release stations allow users to authenticate and release documents while at the device, offering security of documents and the device along with saving on uncollected prints.
An affordable option to a typical PC terminal acting as a release station is the Raspberry Pi, a low-cost computer alternative.
Ideal for education and learning (this might make a great project for your ICT class), tech enthusiasts at schools and environmentally conscious users, Raspberry Pi along with PaperCut NG offers a lower cost, and energy efficient print release solution.
