New features:
- Web Cashier. This feature provides a simple web interface for (non-technical) staff to charge items to PaperCut accounts and/or deposit funds into PaperCut accounts. E.g. a print room could use this to charge services like binding and laminating to a user's PaperCut account, or a bursar's desk could use it to easily recharge a user's account after accepting cash at a register. See the user manual for more information.
Enhancements:
- New option to specify the default page loaded after logging into the end-user web interface. E.g. to go straight to the Web Print page after login.
- Enhancements to support and simplify the setup of Windows Authentication to MS SQL Server.
- Improved scalability for sites with many secondary print servers under high load by reducing the number of database connections used.
- Added more documentation about Mac to Windows printing and Print Services for UNIX.
- Page count hardware validation may now be used on sites who are using a custom SNMP community name.
- Print scripting: the API inputs.printer.groups now returns an array that may be used in for..each loops.
- Improved card self-association at MFPs when the card number is longer than 100 characters.
- Added support for print job redirection across more CUPS print queue types (queues using custom CUPS filters).
Fixes:
- Web Print: fixed issue that could cause XPS documents to not print (time out) if the server was under high load.
- Page count hardware validation may now be used in Windows clusters.
- Fixed a rare issue that would cause the application server to stop responding (database deadlock) when a user performs multiple copy jobs in a single login session during times of high print job load.
- Fixed issue releasing jobs from hold/release queues when using some payment gateway modules under certain conditions (CBORD and Blackboard in on-demand mode).
- Fixed issue logging into the UNIX command line release station when the user's password contained a backslash.
- Fixed display issue on the admin page used to change an internal user's password.
Printer compatibility improvements:
- Improved copy count detection on newer drivers for the Xerox WorkCentre range (e.g. Xerox WorkCentre 7530).
- Add toner solid ink(!) level detection for the Fuji Xerox ColorQube range.
- Improved page size detection for some older Fiery X3TYe PCL drivers.
- On the HP Officejet K550 when printing from MS PowerPoint: fixed potential copy count issue.
- Added support for the Epson 7890's GDI driver.
- Fixed issue watermarking on some PCL6 duplex jobs.
- PCL5 page-level color detection improvements.
- Improved grayscale detection for the Toshiba universal driver.

Copier / Device Integration:
- HP Onboard/Embedded (Chai SOE DSE): Reduce home screen icon size to fit on models with smaller screen sizes.
- Konica Minolta Onboard/Embedded (OpenAPI):
- When print jobs are released from a hold/release queue in a batch, make sure the jobs print in the original order on Windows (issue on OpenAPI 3.1 only).
- Id authentication: the option to mask the id is now available for some more devices with older firmware versions (not all devices can support this feature).
- Fixed an issue which prevented showing more than 12 pages worth of accounts in account list.
- Kyocera Mita Onboard/Embedded (HyPAS):
- The keypad may now be used for id/PIN logins, card PIN entry and account code entry (rather than requiring the soft keyboard).
- Fixed session timeout on the print release screen.
- The custom logo/colors are now displayed on all screens including the device initialization and admin setup screens.
- Added an option to hide the cost from the print release screen.
- Fixed issue masking the id entry when id authentication was the only enabled option.
- Added an option to skip the print release screen when logging in.
- Sharp Onboard/Embedded (OSA):
- Added SSO support. Third party applications such as scanning apps can now access information about the logged in user, as authenticated by PaperCut.
- Improved handling of bad card swipes on Sharp OSA3 devices.
- Fixed bug which prevented access to the Sharp copy tab after an auto-release of 4 or more jobs in some situations.
- Allow Sharp PC-Fax jobs to be sent (previously these jobs were denied).
- Toshiba Onboard/Embedded (e-BRIDGE Open Platform):
- Fixed issue on eBX devices where users logging in using the device "Guest" login could see and release jobs for other users (due to the device not reliably sending SNMP logout trap events).
- Improved message displayed on embedded web browser when users login using the device built-in guest user.
- Fixed a problem where the user's balance is displayed when a shared account is selected.
- Boscop Virtual Cash Acceptor: Added support for dispensing of cards.
- Xerox Onboard/Embedded (Xerox Secure Access): Improved reliability when using network card readers for authentication. If there is a problem initiating the login to the MFP, allow the user to re-attempt the card login immediately.
