Each printer has a release terminal that will queue each print job. After you have sent your print job, you should walk to the release workstation next to the printer. Using the mouse, find your job, highlight the filename and click the print button to release the job from the queue to the printer. Jobs are deleted from the queue after printing or if they have been queued for too long.

Every user is allocated 600 pages of printing per term. Only printing for class work is supported in the labs. As each print job is released to the printer, a quota management system automatically deducts the number of pages printed. 

All lab computers are set up with a default printer. However, if you wish to print to another location, select the appropriate printer from the list of available printers for getting the printout.

Once you log into a computer lab workstation, you will see the PaperCut icon in the system tray.  You can double click it to get more information about your print usage. When you double click it, the pop up window will display the available print quota for the user.

On the popup menu, there will be a link called “Details” and when you click on this it will open up a browser window and the user can see all the previous jobs he has printed, the printers he has printed to, the time stamps etc.

Your total data space quota on the CEAS network file server is 3GB.

If it still doesn't work contact the lab consultant on duty.

Each student has a 600 page quota allotted for every term. Students need to manage their printing in order to stay within these 600 pages. If a student still uses all 600 pages before the term is over and needs additional prints, they will need to save their file(s) to removable media and print their needed copies at another print facility.

There is a color laser printer available at 636 Mantei Center (ERC). It can be used for printing Student Thesis and Projects. There is a 300 page quota set per student per term.  This quota is not related to the 600 page limit print quota mentioned above for black and white printing. Students need to come to 636 Mantei Center (ERC) to request color printing. Above the 300 page quota, OCC will print 2 final copies of student thesis.

A Canon plotter is available in 617 Mantei Center (ERC). Plotters are for use only if faculty require students to produce color plots for scheduled class projects. In order to allow students to use the inkjet plotters, faculty will have to provide a class list to the College Computing Office so that plotting can be enabled for the students on the class list.
