In an effort to promote responsible printing Pikes Peak Community College (PPCC) is implementing a print management solution named PaperCut. PaperCut is a comprehensive solution designed to assist students in making the most out of every print job.

The following examples demonstrate how PaperCut works:

1. Johnson is a student at PPCC. He is logged onto the instructional network and is surfing the Internet. He would like to print out a web page for his school assignment.

2. Pikes Peak Community College has allocated Johnson a printing credit budget of $25.00 for the semester. He can see that he has a current account balance of $24.50 in the PaperCut Client Tool window. (Johnson has already been printing this semester).

3. Johnson prints the web page. Five (5) pages come out of the printer.

4. Black & White single-sided prints cost $0.05. Johnson’s 5-page document costs $0.25.

5. Johnson's account balance is now at $24.25. He may continue to print until his account is out of funds; at which time Johnson may purchase a TopUp/ Pre-Paid Print Card from any of the open labs vending machines.

For additional information stop by any of the open computer labs for assistance.

Note: At the beginning of each semester, every student will be given a $25.00 printing credit at no additional cost to the student. Additional TopUp/ Pre-Paid Print Cards may be purchased in $5.00 increments.

*Rounds up when duplexing odd number of pages. For example: A black and white print out that is duplexed costs $0.08. That is one page printed on the front and back.
