iSchool Printer Kiosk Steps
- Log in to the kiosk computer using your NetID and password; do not add "@illinois.edu" to your NetID.
- Once logged in, open the document(s) you will be printing. The document(s) can be retrieved in different ways, such as through an email, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, flash drive, etc.
- Activate the print function in one of two ways:
- Option 1: Select File at the top left of the screen, then click Print.
- Option 2: Press the Windows logo key + P. On a Windows keyboard, the Windows logo key functions as the Apple Command key (⌘).
-
When the Print window opens, select the correct printer. This field will either be named Printer or Destination based on your document's source, and it expands into a drop-down menu when clicked. Select the printer kiosk you are using or another nearby printer if the kiosk printer is out of service.
- Adjust any other printing settings to your desired specifications.
- Click the Print button at the bottom of the Print window.
- The Print Job Notification window will open; confirm that the Print job details are correct.
- Choose the type of account to charge under the Print job actions section.
- Faculty and staff: Skip forward to Step 10, ignoring the Print job actions section.
- Students: iSchool students are awarded a free printing quota depending on their academic level (see Printing Cost, Quota, and Printing Directly from PaperCut for quotas and printing cost).
- Charge to my personal account: Most students typically choose this option; the Print job will be charged to your PaperCut account/printing quota.
- Charge to shared account: If you have a shared account, possibly a course-related print credit, this option will allow you to select which account to use.
- Charge to shared account using PIN/Code: This option is similar to the one above but requires you to manually enter a PIN or code.
- Click the blue Print button at the bottom of the window to send your job to the printer.
- Your print job is now complete!
