AT THE PRINTER

So you’ve installed PaperCut and you’ve sent a document to the printer. Now what?

  1. Find a printer!

    Students: Your printer is just outside of the Computer Lab.

    Staff/Faculty: You can use the Computer Lab, Admin Office, or Faculty Lounge printers.

  2. Type your ID Number using the number pad by the screen. You can find your ID Number on your Student ID underneath your barcode. If you are having difficulty logging in, or can’t find your ID Number, please email Kein at tech@chicagoartsacademy.org.

 
 

3. To print, you can quickly release the print jobs by selecting “Print All” at the top of the screen. You can review the print jobs by selecting “Print Release.” This will allow you to individually select which documents to print and make minor edits such as changing 1-sided > 2-sided and the number of copies to print.

4. To scan, select the “Scan” option. Next, select “Google Drive.” If you need to change any settings (i.e. 1/2-sided scans, landscape/portrait, different paper sizes) select “Change Settings.” Once you’ve chosen the appropriate settings, press the green “Start” button. When the scan(s) are complete, you will receive an email with a PDF copy, as well as a link to where it was uploaded in your Google Drive.

5. To make copies, select “Access Device,” then select “Copy.” Next, change the settings (including the number of copies, color vs. black and white, 1/2-sided, etc.) to what you need. When everything looks good, press the green “Start” button.

6. When you’re done, either hit the “Log Out” button in the upper right hand of the screen or just walk away! The printer will automatically log you out after 1 minute.

7. If you have any problems either installing the PaperCut software or using the printers, please email Kein at tech@chicagoartsacademy.org.
