Uprint

From Juanita:

As of tomorrow all printers and photocopiers in the McLennan-Redpath complex will be in the Uprint network. Here are some things to remember (others will probably be added later)

- Non-McGill users can buy pre-charged cards for $5 or $10. The card indicates in small print how much real printing value they have, once taxes are deducted. These cards can be bought, starting tomorrow, at the Memberships counter in the library,and are not rechargeable.

- Non-McGill users need to retrieve their jobs from the colour printers (Xerox 6400) only at this point. Therefore they need to select from the print pop up menu uPrint Color (Popup) and not the default uPrint Mono (Popup) option When they select and send a print job they have to write in username as indicated on the prepaid copy card.

Henry was told that the best way to print is for Guest to have a USB key with the documents which they want to print. When using a Word document the guest account does open up Word and they will be able to print from it. (needs to be tested)

Please review the information in the Visitor page of the IT knowledge base, by following the link for visitors in the Uprit portal http://www.mcgill.ca/printing/uprint/

Please remember that Uprint is a new, independent service. Copy service downstairs doesn’t have anything to do with this new service. Students who experience difficulties and fail to retrieve the job(s) they paid for should fill the form at http://webforms.mcgill.ca/printing/refunds.asp?bhcp=1 and the amount will be credited to their account.

There is no announcement yet about when the reinbursement for amounts in the copy cards will happen. Students will get credit on their Minerva account. Please tell clients to wait for the announcement of dates and places where they can request the reimbursement.
