PaperCut NG/MF can perform page-level color detection with most modern color printers. The color detection setting is available for each printer controlled by PaperCut NG/MF. Standard color detection (also referred to as document-level detection) PaperCut NG/MF has three options for document color detection:
When this option is selected, the user would be charged for one page at the color printer's standard rate, and receive the grayscale discount for the other 20 pages.
If page-level color detection is not enabled, the user would be charged 50c per page for all pages, whether they are color or Black and White. For example, if a print job has 5 color pages (at 50c per page) and 5 Black and White pages (at 20c per page), then the user is charged $3.50. An enhanced alternative is to use page-level color detection If page-level color detection is enabled, PaperCut charges the color rate only for pages that actually contain color. As a workaround, the user could send the document as two print jobs (one with just the first page containing color, and another with the rest of the document), but this is an inconvenience. When using standard color detection, the user is charged for 21 pages at the color printer's standard rate. The document is all grayscale except for a color header on the first page. This might be an inconvenience for users when a large document is printed with just a few color pages.įor example, a user prints a 21 page document to a color printer.
Otherwise, the document is charged at the printer's standard rate. When this flag is set on a document sent to a color printer, the grayscale discount is applied. The standard way used by PaperCut NG/MF to handle color in documents is to see if the printer's driver has set the grayscale flag.
Changing the detection method might require some additional printer configuration. The color detection setting determines the method used by PaperCut NG/MF to analyze documents for the presence of color. Available in PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF.
