Printing, scanning and copying are easy at UWA, as all libraries and general purpose computer labs offer the same type of multifunction printer (MFP). The MFP can print, scan or copy, in colour and a range of sizes, and you simply tap your Campus Card to begin. You can submit print jobs to the print queue from a University PC by selecting the global printer from your printer list or from your own laptop using WebPrint. You can also print from your phone using Mobility Print - for instructions, see option 2 in this handy guide! Once submitted, your print job will be held for 12 hours in a secure global print queue. To release it, simply tap your Campus Card at any printer and select "Print".
You can pay for photocopying and printing in libraries using your Campus Card. It costs 5c per side for an A4 page to photocopy or print in black and white. There are additional charges for colour photocopying and larger formatting. Use the autoloader machines in each library to add money to your card. Autoloaders accept EFTPOS and credit cards.You can also add value online (via Uni ID Login) using a credit card.
Be aware, unused printing credit left on your card cannot be refunded. We therefore recommend that you add small amounts of credit at a time, as required, rather than a large lump sum all at once.
PaperCut is the printing management software used to store your printing jobs and other information. You can access PaperCut through the WebPrint website or from the desktop of a university computer by selecting the details button on the printing pop-up or the lock/printer/person icon on the menu bar. Step-by-step instructions for using WebPrint or printing from a university computer can be found on the library's website.
More information is available on the Printing, copying and scanning web page. If you need help with photocopying, scanning or printing, just ask our friendly staff at any Library Information Desk!
