Page Comparison

The printers their locations and capabilities are documented in the separate page IMS Hold & Release Printer capabilities. 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. For your convenience your University card is automatically associated with your account and will log you in immediately.
4. You can optionally associate a second card with your account; for instance an NHS ID card. In fact many cards with RFID chips can be used, but we recommend using either University or NHS cards, as you should always have one of these on you.
   
   1. To register a new card, swipe hold it at the printer as above. If the card is compatible, you will be prompted to associate your ID Card to your CSCS User user (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 - swipe scan the card again to complete the process.
      
   2. This card will now log you on immediately.
   3. If you swipe scan another unknown card, this will replace the one previously registered manually as above. It is not possible to overwrite your University card as this is provided as a data feed by the University.
      
      
5. 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.
   
6. You can now easily log on to the printers using your ID card
7. 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.
