Papercut printing

Papercut printing is synced across the Commonwealth University campuses.  However, the print release systems that each campus are currently using are not.  Here are the procedures for releasing print jobs at each campus.

Mansfield Campus:

• From a computer that has Papercut installed with the MU Printing print queue, print the documents as you normally would.  
• To login to the printers (all Mansfield campus Papercut MFPs are Ricoh IM C2000 machines), if you have a Mansfield ID card you can use it to tap login.  The sensor is located to the right of the screen on the printer.  
  • The first time that you tap your Mansfield ID card, it will ask you to associate your card.  Input your FULL commonwealthu.edu email address and the password that you use to login to your campus accounts.  
• If you do not have your ID card with you, or are from Bloomsburg or Lock Haven campuses, you can manually login using your FULL commonwealthu.edu email address.  

* You currently cannot associate your ID card from Bloomsburg or Lock Haven campuses, as they use different technology.

• Once you are logged in, you will see three options.
  • For printing, you will want the print release option on the left.
  • Here you will see the print jobs that you have waiting in the queue
  • You must select a cost center to associate the print job with before you can release it.  To do so, select the arrow on the right of the print job you are wishing to release.

* If the computer that you released your print job from had the Papercut client running, and you selected your appropriate cost center when you released the print job, you can skip this section and select "print all" above the boxes.

• This is what the client on the computer looks like.  
• You are able to just select "print all" here

* If you did not select a cost center at the computer, please continue with the steps below.

• On the next screen you will see "Account".  Select the pencil icon next to it to see a list of cost centers that you have access to and pick the appropriate one.
  • You can also modify your print job on this page.  If it was originally color, you can convert it to grayscale and/or have the document print as 2-sided.
  • The screen will show you the price of your print job and savings that you may have depending on modifications to the job.
• Once you have applied all of the settings that you want, you can now release the print job.
