by The lab computers use a program called PaperCut to control print usage. The PaperCut window is located in the top right corner of your desktop screen (see the picture to the right). This program keeps track of the number of pages given to every engineering student each semester. Students are given their allotment of pages the week following drop/add.
- Engineering Students – will receive 150 pages for every engineering class enrolled in (ex. if you are taking two engineering classes, you will have 300 pages for the semester).
- Printing Balance – Printing a black and white page will deduct one page while printing a color page will deduct 10 pages from the page count. The black and white printer is set to print double sided (counts as 2 pages) while the color printer single sided.
For most programs on the lab computers, to print you will go to the ‘File’ drop down tan and then click ‘Print’. You also can use the keyboard shortcut ‘CTRL + P’. Select either the black and white printer, labeled Driftmier 1304 on PaperCut. The room number will change according to the lab/room. Prints are 8.5 x 11 for all classroom and general use printers, 11 x 17 is available in room 1350.
