Printing Procedures

Access to Printing services via PaperCut will only be available to students who have logged into a workstation with their credentials, ID number and Password. Once the required document is ready for printing, the user must select the printer to send the documents. The need to select a colour option is vital, as it will be determined, whether or not the document is to be printed in colour or black and white, and this will also determine the cost for printing and the amount that will be deducted from the credit balance. A message will be shown based on the cost of the print job, whether or not adequate funds are available on the account to complete the transaction. Once print is successful, the amount will be deducted from the account. The balance on your account will be indicated in the balance bar, located on the desktop on initial logon. Details of print transactions may be found on the student portal in Ralston.

Establishing an Account for Printing

All users are required to pay for prints at the Accounts Department during the specified hours, where a receipt in triplicate will be generated. The receipt will consist of the ID number, name and other information, including items being paid for. Of the three ply receipt students will be given, a yellow copy and a white copy. The yellow copy should be presented at the Photocopy Centre only and the amount is credited by the Office Clerk, or Library personnel on duty.

Please note that payment for printing is at a minimum balance of $50.00. The Office Clerk will apply this credit to your account based on your identification number. When you proceed to log on with your username and password from a networked computer at the Library, the Multimedia Computer Lab, or Visual Arts Lab, the credit balance will be shown on the desktop screen. Once you send prints, the balance will be reduced by the cost for printing based on the rates outlined.

All students are to ensure that once they have paid for prints, that a copy of the receipt is kept and presented at the Photocopy Centre to library personnel for the account balance to be credited with the amount.

Computer Laboratories Location

Computer workstations available to students are located at the Visual Arts computer laboratory, Computer laboratory upstairs in the Multimedia Building, and Computer room in the Library.

Students

Students must present their IDs at the Photocopy Centre when payments are made for prints. The crediting of your accounts is done by the Office Clerk, or Library personnel at the Photocopy Centre. Once your balance has been topped up, you can send your prints from any computer workstation on the campus.
Students will be required to login with their own identification number and password, then select the option to print and determine whether or not the document is to be printed in colour or black and white. The document will be queued for printing until it is released. Once the print is successful, the amount will be deducted from your account.
