New Copying System

The United Library’s copying and printing services are now managed through a web-based payment system called PaperCut. With this new system, a user can check their printing balance from any internet-capable device, see their environmental impact, and even use the copy/printers without having their physical print card with them. Follow the link on the library website to check your balance at anytime.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

 An account has been created for all registered students. When a student activates his or her account, a microchip is placed on the student’s ID card which associates the card with the account. To use the printer or the copier, simply pass the card over the chip reader (pictured above) on the machine. The microchip tells the machine who you are, what your balance is and if you have any jobs waiting to be released.

 HOW DO I ACTIVATE MY ACCOUNT?

 In order to activate an account, students need to stop by the circulation desk, create a password, and receive a microchip.

Paying for Prints & Copies

Money can be added to Papercut accounts right at the circulation desk.  We accept cash only.

Sending Print Jobs

When you are ready to send a print job over from a library computer to the printer, the computer will ask you to type in your username and password. Then simply walk up to the printer, wave your card and select the document to release. The default printer is the smaller, Black & White printer.
