When your document is ready to print, select Print from the File menu. The library printer will automatically appear as the default printer. There will be a second confirmation box verifying the printing cost to your account. After clicking on “print” the job will print from the library printer/copier machine.
It is also possible to print from a person device; to learn more, follow these Web Print instructions.
Students can add money to their printing accounts when the balance is low. Check your balance by locating the PaperCut icon

Students can also add money to their PaperCut balances at any campus library circulation desk with exact cash.
