How to Print (sending print job from computer)

You will need to print from a school computer, as these computers have PaperCut (our student print software). Every student should start with $3.00 for the term. If you find you don’t have any money in your account, Email Lance.Lannigan@mhcc.edu or Matthew.Anderson@mhcc.edu for help.

1. When printing from a campus computer, you’ll open the file or webpage and choose Print.

2. In the list of printers which appear, choose either Saints-Xerox-B&W or Saints-Xerox-Color.

The B&W (Black and White) print is set as the default (.05 for one page or .04 if double-sided). Color print is an option, but costs twice as much (.10 for one page or .08 double-sided).
Not all student computers on campus will print in color.

3. A pop-up window will appear on your screen. You’ll need to enter your MHCC ID and your password (usually your six-digit birthdate). Use the same login as for MyMHCC.

4. Then, you still need to walk over to a Multi-Function (MFP) printer and enter your login information on the printer touchscreen.Press the keyboard icon. On the right side of the area where you type, there is a backspace arrow to correct mistakes.

The printer will go into a power saving mode; just press the screen to “wake it up.”
Many students use the printers in the Library or in the 1451 Lab on campus.

5. Your name and ID should appear. Sometimes your print job will appear, but sometimes you will be sent to the main print menu screen. Choose Print Release to see your print job if needed.

You can press the physical black Home button to the right of the touchscreen to return to this screen at any time.

6. You can choose to print your job by checking the box and pressing the Print button at the bottom of the screen (or delete by pressing the trash icon).

How to Copy

1. Press the touchscreen, choose the keyboard icon, and log in with your MyMHCC login and password. Press the physical Home button to the left of the touchpad if you don’t see the Home screen with Copy.

2. If you are copying a page or pages of standard size paper, just position it in the document feeder at the top. Paper should be face-up, just as if you were reading it.
Remove any staples from multiple pages, as the document feeder will grab the pages one at a time.

3. Choose Copy and note that you can choose to print 1 to 1-sided, 2 to 2-sided, etc.
You also have options to Reduce/Enlarge, or to Darken or Lighten (which can be useful if you’re creating white copies from colored paper).

4. If you are printing a book, or something that will not work in the sheet feeder, just open the top and position on the glass, near the top left corner.

5. Press Start when all is in position and settings (if any) have been chosen.

How to Scan (and Email)

1. Press the touchscreen, choose the keyboard icon, and log in with your MyMHCC login and password. Press the physical Home button to the left of the touchpad if you don’t see the Home screen with Email.

2. Choose Add Me (easiest to use) or Manual Entry from the list of options. Add Me will send your scan to your Saints Email address

3. If you are copying a page or pages of standard size paper, just position it in the document feeder at the top. Paper should be face-up, just as if you were reading it.
Remove any staples from multiple pages, as the document feeder will grab the pages one at a time.

4. If you are printing a book, or something that will not work in the sheet feeder, just open the top and position on the glass, near the top left corner.

PDF is the default file type. If you wish to change to a graphic file, just look for “Scanned from a multifunction printer and .pdf to the left of this on an orange background).

Once you have enrolled and used the system, your account will remain until it has not been used for a year. There will never be more than $3 in the MHCC portion of your account. The MHCC portion of your account will not be refreshed to $3 until you are again enrolled in a class. Any unused balance will not be refunded.
