To access your papercut account information and print to the doc, follow the instructions below...

Login:

• log onto one of the lab computers and the above desktop should appear.
• a small window in the upper right corner should display your terrapin express balance
• to login to your papercut account, select the "details" link below your balance

• when the page shown appears, use your directory ID and password to login

Summary

• the summary page will come up listing your balance and total jobs
• disregard the "balance" category as you will only be using the Terrapin Express balance to print

Transaction History:

• selecting the "transaction history" tab will give you a more detailed list of your transactions with dates and prices

• if you are trying to find information on just a few transactions you can filter the list using the "show filter" option above the list

Recent Print Jobs

• selecting the "recent print jobs" tab will give you even more detailed information on print jobs including size, printer, and filename
• this list can also be filtered based on detailed parameters if you select "show filter" above the list

Jobs Pending Release

• if you have sent a job to a printer in the doc but have not yet gone to release it, it will appear in the "jobs pending release" section
• from here you can either cancel or release a job - you will not be charged for a print job until you release it
• (releasing a job online allows the document to print automaticallywithout you swiping your card at the device in the DOC)

Printing:

• when you are ready to print, select print and chose a printer from the list (take note of the name ex. ARCHPT001)

• at this point, verify that all your print settings are correct (paper size, orientation etc...)
• you will not be able to change these settings

• if you need a custom size for your document select "properties" and then the "custom" option to input the necessary dimensions
• once everything is correct, select print

• after hitting print, a message should pop up letting you know that your job has been held in queue
• at this point, either login to papercut and release your job online (as shown previously) or proceed to the DOC to manually release

• in the DOC, locate the plotter with the correct name
• there will be a device next to it which you can use to release your job

• swipe your card in the device

• this screen should appear listing the jobs you have sent to the plotter

• select the job on the touchscreen and you can either delete the job or select print

• check the display on the plotter to see that your job has been sent and is ready to print
