HOW TO: Print at Jannes Library

 

TO LOGIN 

  1. First, you will be asked to accept terms of agreement for using computers in the library.

  2. Log into guest user. If you are working on a computer that is already logged in, you must logout and log back in to guest user so that PaperCut launches.

  3. PaperCut’s desktop app will automatically launch when you log in and look like this.

 

The image below is a screenshot of the papercut login page that launches when logging in to a computer at Jannes Library. It is grey, and reads LOGIN, Your Login Credentials are required for printer access. Please log in using your network username and password to confirm your identity. There is a line to type in your username and a line to type in your password. This information is the same as your mykcai account to login. There is a checkbox to "remember" your identity. Since you will log off as a part of the following directions, you do not need to check this box.

 

 

 

 

  1. Use your mykcai account to log in. You do not need to enter your whole email. Example for library@kcai.edu

Username: library

Password: ******

  1. Once you’ve logged in, you will be notified of your balance. Once you press okay your balance will remain updated in a green box in the upper-right corner of your screen.

  2. Now, open an internet browser and go to print.kcai.edu. You must have both the desktop app and this website open to print.

The image below is a screenshot of the print.kcai.edu login page that you must open in the internet browser, after logging in to a computer at Jannes Library. The page opens with an image of the Beals Studio and Vanderslice. The picture is taken from the green space by the greenery near cafe Nerman. In the center of the screen is a white box in the middle of the screen, and reads LOG IN, Please log in with your KCAI credentials and choose the Jobs Pending Release tab to send your print job.

 

 

  1. Log in again using the same information.

  2. Now, calculate how much you will need to print your documents.  

    Paper Size Black & White Printing Color Printing
    8.5" x 11"      $0.10 $0.50
    11" x 17"       $0.20  $1.00

  3. You can add money to your print account yourself by navigating to the column on the left hand side of the page. At the bottom there is a tab, "Add Credit." You can add credit by choosing a preselected amount from the drop down menu and clicking "Add value." This will navigate you to a transaction page where you can input your credit or debit card information.

 

 

 

TO PRINT

  1. Locate your file. If you are not accessing your file from the web, open your file in Preview and skip to Step 6.

  2. If accessing a file from the web such as through email, Google Drive, or directly from a site the next step is to download your file. The printer will not print directly from the web. 

  3. Word documents must be converted to pdfs before printing. 

  4. Once you have downloaded your file from the internet (see example below), open finder > downloads. You will find your file here and it will automatically open in Preview.

 

 

  1. Once in Preview, go to file > print.

*Make sure the correct printer is selected (library-bw or library-color), that your prints are the correct scale and that your desired paper size is selected. Please note that we are only able to print 8.5" x 11" or 11" x 17" - anything else will stall print jobs! 

 

 

  1. Authenticate this job by entering log in info into the PaperCut pop-up window.
