PaperCut Print
Management UAE
What is PaperCut print management and what does it do for a UAE office?
PaperCut is software that tracks, controls, and reduces office printing costs. Sahara installs PaperCut MF for enterprises running multifunction devices and PaperCut NG for smaller workgroups, covering licensing, Active Directory integration, and twelve months of support across Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi. Print volumes typically fall 20–30% within three months.
- PaperCut MF is licensed per device; PaperCut NG is licensed per user, per year
- Embedded touch-panel apps on Canon, Kyocera, Ricoh, Xerox, HP and Sharp MFPs
- Secure print release holds jobs at the server until the user authenticates at the printer
- Setup takes half a day for NG, one to two days for a multi-device MF rollout

PaperCut UAE — Frequently Asked Questions
What is PaperCut print management software?›
PaperCut is the world's leading print management software used by 100+ million users across 200 countries. It tracks, controls, and reduces print costs by enforcing print policies, enabling secure print release, and reporting on usage by user, department, or project. Sahara provides PaperCut MF and NG setup, licensing, and support for UAE offices.
How much does PaperCut cost for a UAE office?›
PaperCut NG (for SMEs) starts from approximately AED 1,800 per year for 10 users. PaperCut MF (for enterprise with MFP integration) is licensed per device. Sahara provides competitive UAE pricing with installation, configuration, and 1-year support included.
Which printers does PaperCut work with in UAE?›
PaperCut MF works natively with Canon, Kyocera, Ricoh, Xerox, HP, Brother, and Sharp MFPs — all brands Sahara dealers in UAE. Installation integrates directly into the printer's touch panel for secure print release and copy/scan tracking.
Can PaperCut reduce our office printing costs in Dubai?›
Yes. Dubai and UAE businesses that implement PaperCut typically see 20–30% reduction in print volume within 3 months — driven by duplex enforcement, colour restrictions, secure print release (reduces uncollected prints), and department quota management.
Does Sahara provide PaperCut training and support in UAE?›
Yes. Sahara's PaperCut implementation service includes on-site installation, Active Directory/LDAP integration, user training, and 12-month remote + on-site support across Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.
What is the difference between PaperCut MF and PaperCut NG?›
PaperCut MF embeds in the printer's touch panel; PaperCut NG does not. MF suits enterprises running multifunction devices and tracks copy and scan activity as well as printing, licensed per device. NG suits workgroups of 1-50 users, tracks network printing only, and is licensed per user annually.
How does secure print release actually work?›
Jobs are held on the server until the user authenticates at the printer. Staff send a document, walk to any enrolled machine, tap a card or enter a PIN, and the job prints only then. This removes uncollected output from printer trays, which is both a confidentiality risk and a large share of wasted paper.
How long does a PaperCut rollout take in a UAE office?›
A PaperCut NG install takes about half a day. A multi-device MF rollout takes one to two days. That covers server installation, Active Directory or LDAP synchronisation, embedded app deployment to each multifunction device, policy configuration, and user training. Sahara then provides twelve months of remote and on-site support.
