After you’ve used your free printer credits, you’ll need to top-up using cash, credit/debit card or PayPal. When you are logged in to a PC or Mac connected to the University network, your current print balance is shown in the PaperCut widget on the Desktop.
You can also log in to PaperCut using your student/staff number and password. Once logged in, your current balance will be shown on the summary page. Please note you can only access PaperCut on campus.
You have several options if you need to add credit to print
The IT Service Desk is unable to take payment for print credit.
This guide will show you how to associate your student ID Card with the print system used at the University of Suffolk. You can complete this process using any of the Konica Minolta MFD devices located across campus.
1. Present your ID Card to the reader on the MFD device, indicated by a card icon.
2. A message on the screen will indicate the card is unknown and ask if you want to associate it. Press Yes.
3. Enter your University of Suffolk username (your student or staff number) and your password. Press Set.
4. You'll receive confirmation that the ID Card has been registered successfully. Press OK.
From now on, when you present your ID Card to the reader on the MFD, you'll be logged in automatically without needing to enter your username and password.
When you send something to print, you send it to a ‘virtual’ print queue rather than a specific printer. This means you can release your print job from any of the MFDs across campus. There are two queues to choose from, PaperCutBW and PaperCutColor. If you want to print in colour, you must send this to the PaperCutColor queue. Here’s what the two queues look like after clicking File > Print in Word:
If you haven’t already done so, associate your ID Card with the MFDs by following the "Registering your ID card guide" above.
Once associated, whenever you need to release your print jobs you can hold your ID Card next to the card reader marked on the MFD. You can then select jobs to print or print all your pending jobs.
If you haven’t associated your card, you’ll need to manually enter your username and password using the touch panel on the MFD.
You can print from your own device by using EveryonePrint. This service is available via a web browser, and you can access it here. Please be aware that this service is being developed and currently only supports basic formatted printing.
For more information about using EveryonePrint, follow the guide below:
1. In a web browser, visit https://print.uos.ac.uk and enter your staff/student number and your password.
2. Click on Choose file and browse for the document you want to print.
3. Once you’ve added the document, click Next.
4. You’ll receive confirmation that the document has been sent to the print queue for processing.
5. When the status indicator changes to ‘Printed’ your document is ready to release from any of the MFDs on campus.
If you haven’t already done so, associate your ID Card with the MFDs by following the "Registering your ID card guide" above.
Once associated, whenever you need to release your print jobs you can hold your ID Card next to the card reader marked on the MFD. You can then select jobs to print or print all your pending jobs.
