IT&S advises you to do a print preview before sending a print job to be printed to ensure you are printing what you intended. You are responsible to pay for all pages printed from your account.
Credit refunds will be deposited on your account if it is clear the paper is damaged or the print is not satisfactory (faded or blurred).
IT&S does not provide cash refunds. At the end of an academic term, the IT&S Help Desk will provide refunds if you have cash remaining on your account.

When you login to a computer located in any MSVU computer lab, including those in the Library Learning Commons, you will notice the PaperCut popup which shows your current balance.

If you close the popup, it will run in the background and can be accessed by clicking on it from the task bar.

Printing steps will differ depending on the device and application you are printing from.  The printer dialogue box, with the white checkmark in the green circle, is the default printer for the location that you are printing from.

Note: Most printers have just one print queue, the exception are the printers in the Library Learning Commons where there are two separate queues directed to different printers.  The default printer in Library Learning Commons is LibraryPrint1 and is set to print double-sided and grayscale.  Select LibraryPrint2 should the default printer be unavailable.  You can also change the color and duplex settings by clicking on the Preferences or Printer Properties button.

After clicking Preferences or Printer Properties

The default setting is grayscale, to print in color use the pull down and select auto color on the printer properties dialogue box.
To print single sided, click the Print Type and on the pulldown select 1-sided.

Subsequent prints will print in the method selected. Once you logout or restart the PC, the print settings will revert back to the default.

It is recommended to print in grayscale unless you require the printout to have color as the per page cost is more.  If you want to print in color it is recommended to use Auto color; this setting automatically determines which pages need to be printed in color and then changes back to grayscale.

Note: If the printer does not support color printing, such as the default printer for SAC329 and SAC331 labs, no color option will be present.

Other Print Driver Setting Options:

Original Orientation – Of Originals (in file)
Original Size – Size of originals in file
Copies – Quantity
Print Type – 2 Sided, 1 Sided or Booklet
