PaperCut
Folsom Lake College has implemented a new print management solution called PaperCut. In order to print and make copies, you’ll need to authenticate at the copier using W+Employee ID and password (the same username and password that you use to login to the network and access your Los Rios email and Canvas). The new system also includes the ability to use Employee Cards that have proximity capability to logon at the copier instead of having to manually enter your credentials.
If you have an older Employee Card that doesn’t have proximity capability, or if you forget your card in your office, you can always manually enter your W+Employee ID and password to release print jobs and make copies. However, in the future you’ll use your Employee proximity Card to open doors at workrooms, so the odds will be that you’ll have it with you to make copies and retrieve print jobs.
In the past with our older print management system, print jobs automatically printed out and were often found sitting in the copier output tray or workroom counter. This new system will print out when you are there to authenticate with your credentials or proximity card. You can print out tests and quizzes without having to quickly get to a workroom for fear that a student may wander into the workroom or another employee grab your print job accidentally with their print job.
Print and Copy Cost
Cost per page is $0.03 for black/white (each side) and $0.10 color (each side) for those with color permissions. Print and copy cost is based on dollars ($) with a cost per page.
Employees are given a quota amount that is automatically assigned to individuals each semester. The quota allowances are:
Faculty, Full-Time: $30 per semester
Faculty, Adjunct: $15 per semester
Classified: $90 per semester
Administrative Assistants: $250 per semester
Managers and Supervisors: $250 per semester
If you need a change to your quota amount, please contact your division dean.
Print Authentication
To login to a copier, you can use an Employee ID Card or just your network credentials (W+Employee ID and password). The first time you use your ID card at a copier, swipe the ID card in front of the card reader. You will be prompted to authenticate by entering your LRCCD employee ID and password. This is the only time you will need to do this. After authenticating you will only need to swipe your card in front of any card reader to log in.
Any ID cards obtained before 2020 will need to be replaced. New cards are issued by Campus Operations.
The following copiers require authentication for printing and copying:
FL1-132 Faculty Workroom (Konica 654)
FL1-51 Student Services Workroom (Konica 300)
FL2-142 Faculty Workroom (Konica 450)
FL4-127 Faculty Workroom (Konica 300)
FR-220 Career Services (Konica 258)
GYM-185 Faculty Workroom (Konica 300)
PE-116 Faculty Workroom (Konica 4050)
VAPA-2270 Faculty Workroom (Konica 360)
EDC Building C (Konica 287)
EDC B-248 Faculty Workroom (Konica 300)
RCC-114 Faculty Workroom (Konica 658)
When you print a document, the printer needs to have “flc-print-admin” in the printer name. Example: \\flc-print-admin\FacultyWkrms_FL1_FL2_FL4_GYM_PAC.
If you don’t see “flc-print-admin” in the printer name you won’t be able to release the documents at any of the machines.
If don’t see the copier you’d like to use, please contact IT Services at (916) 608-6561.
FLC and the Outreach Centers have several different makes and models of copiers. For the most part, you’ll find Konica copiers.
Copiers will have a proximity card reader mounted to the side or installed internally:
To make copies or retrieve a print job, either tap your employee proximity card at the sensor or enter your W+Employee ID and password at the login screen. If this is the first time you’re using your proximity card, you’ll be prompted to enter your W+Employee ID and password to associate it with your card. Afterwards, you can just tap your proximity card at the sensor to login to the copier. As mentioned earlier, if you forget your proximity card you can always enter in your username/password at the login screen.
Once authenticated at the copier, you’ll see a screen similar to this:
Press DEVICE FUNCTIONS to make copies. All other copy functions will be the same as with our prior print management system.
To print a specific document, highlight it and press PRINT. Press PRINT ALL to print all pending documents. Highlight a document and press DELETE if you no longer want to print a specific document.
Notice the cost associated with each print job as well as your balance of funds available for printing/copying.
Press LOGOUT when you’re done copying and/or printing.
View your available quota amount ($ balance) for printing/copying, as well as various other information such as print history and pending print jobs. Once you go to the link, you’ll see a login prompt that looks like this:
Notice that the W+Employee ID is already shown as the webpage is picking up the ID of the person logged on the local computer. Just click CONTINUE to login to the web page. If you’re on a computer logged on with a different account, just click the selection that says ‘Switch User’ and then enter in your W+Employee ID and password.
The new PaperCut solution has with it the capability to print from mobile devices. This feature will be available as soon as possible once all the copiers are set up. Instructions on how to print from mobile devices will be provided once that feature is implemented. The software also has a feature called ‘follow-me printing’ which allows you to print to just one print queue and then release your print job from any copier (instead of having to select a specific copier to print to). This feature will also be enabled as soon as possible with instructions to follow.
Please contact IT Services at (916) 608-6561 if you have any questions or problems with the new print system.
