Step 3: Release Your Print Job at a Printer

Print jobs sent through PaperCut are held securely until you release them at a printer. This prevents documents from sitting unattended in an output tray.

Log In at the Printer

1. Walk up to any supported campus printer.
2. Tap your university ID card on the reader marked "TAP YOUR CARD HERE," or enter your Username and Password and tap Log in.

Note: If you tap a card that hasn't been linked to your account yet, you'll see an "Unknown card" prompt. Follow the "Register your ID card to Print" instructions so future taps will log you in automatically.
