Staff PaperCut
RRC Polytech installs PaperCut print management software on all College‑issued laptop or desktop computers. The software enables College computers to print on network printers. PaperCut monitors all the print jobs from your computer and tracks the associated costs in order to allocate them to your department’s budget.
Once installed, the PaperCut Balance window will appear at the top right‑hand side of your desktop screen whenever you start your computer.
The balance in brackets indicates the dollar value of the prints that you have made since you started using PaperCut.
NOTE: There is no balance owing for staff, and your account balance will never run out. The dollar value displayed reflects only the cost of the prints that you have made.
Log on to PaperCut
You may log on to PaperCut in one of two ways:
- Click the Details… link in the PaperCut Balance window, in the above image. Your username will default in, then enter your password, and then click Log in.
- Visit the PaperCut log in screen, enter your College user name and password, and then click Log in.
NOTE: Your user name will default in, if you have previously logged in using your College credentials. The Summary tab will open when you first log in to PaperCut.
Summary
The Summary tab on the left‑hand pane shows the cost of the prints that you have made in the balance window (not the amount payable), the number of print jobs, pages printed, balance history, and environmental impact of your print jobs.
Transaction History
The Transaction History tab on the left‑hand pane outlines the transaction date, total cost for each print job, updated balance, and transaction type, which includes the printer name, page total, grayscale or colour, and cost.
Recent Print Jobs
The Recent Print Jobs tab on the left‑hand pane indicates the date, user name, printer location, pages (both colour and grayscale), cost, attributes, and status of the print job (whether it was printed or cancelled without a charge).
Jobs Pending Release
The Jobs Pending Release tab on the left‑hand pane includes any print jobs that you have requested to print. You can release individual print jobs from this page or print several jobs and release them all at once. PaperCut auto refreshes every 60 seconds, which allows you to send the print job without having to log on at the Xerox printer since you have already verified your identity at your computer.
NOTE: Add Credit is not required for RRC Polytech staff and there is no need to add credit to your account.
