Description

Certain student groups, faculty, and staff print jobs are charged and reconciled monthly and paid through an index. A PaperCut departmental account is used by groups of individuals to bill or charge print jobs across campus.

There are two types of shared accounts:

  • Top-Level
    • Sub-Level

Example: 

  • Departmental Account (top-level)
    • Departmental student-shared account (sub-level)
      • Used for students to print on designated printers designated for student use
      • Used for students to print with money given to them by a certain department
    • Departmental student staff-shared account (sub-level)
      • For student support staff to release print jobs
      • This account will not be used for personal student printing
    • Departmental admin staff-shared accounts (sub-level)
      • Used by support staff to release print jobs
      • To allow staff to print jobs for their job functions
    • Departmental faculty shared-account (sub-level)
      • Used so faculty can print on departmental printers designated for faculty use
