About the Mtech Ventures copier

The Mtech Ventures copier uses PaperCut to streamline tracking & enable features such as scan to email/cloud storage. Use of the copier is free for Mtech Ventures companies, however you may still need to select a funding account when using copier functions. You should select My Personal Account when accessing copier functions. You may notice KFS accounts in addition to your personal account listed if you use services provided by Terrapin Works. The copier & Terrapin Works utilize the same PaperCut infrastructure.
