The printers their locations and capabilities are documented elsewhere. If someone is already using your first choice of printer then you can release the job on any of the other 3 devices instead. If your print job has been sent with specific folding, stapling or colour requirements then make sure the printer you choose to release the job supports those requirements. A colour print job released on a Black & White printer will, for instance, be printed in black & white.

  1. Approach a PaperCut enabled printer to which the print queue applies.
  2. Scan your ID Card to authenticate to the printer, there are red and white labels on each printer identifying the location to hold your card. 
  3. You may use University and NHS identity cards, your University card should already be registered. On authenticating, one of two things will happen:
    1. If this is the first time that you have used that ID Card, then you may be prompted to register your ID Card to your MINTS account. Enter your MINTS username and password into the relevant boxes and press 'Set'. You will then be informed of success and prompted to log in again, which should be done with the ID Card.
    2. If this is not the first time you have used that ID Card, then you will be logged in immediately. You may register both University and NHS cards to your account in this manner so in future you may use either card. University cards should be pre-registered to save you this step, NHS cards will require you to carry out this step in order to associate the card with your MINTS account.

  4. Once logged in to the device you will be shown the main PaperCut menu, with the various options available to you. The operation of these three functions is described in more detail below. Once you have finished using a printer, tap the Log Out button at top right. If you forget to do this, then the printer will automatically log you out after a short time.
  5. You can now easily log on to the printers using your ID card
  6. If you do have left your ID card at your desk, you can always log in to the printers by typing your MINTS credentials in at the printer, although it is considerably easier to scan a card than type on the touchscreen.
