Towards the end of each semester students often want to know how much is left on their PaperCut accounts. Here are the steps you need to take to find out.

MAC

It’s relatively easy to get started on a MAC. All you need to do is click details in the PaperCut pop-up box.

Check Your Balance

The summary on the left shows: your balance, how many print jobs you’ve completed, and how many pages you’ve printed. There are some interesting Environmental Impact facts which might help you to decide whether that article really needs to be printed (or perhaps saved to your Google drive). Don’t forget to log out when you’re done (top right of your screen).
