What Is It
PaperCut is a software application designed to help manage printing. It helps to minimize waste, save paper and toner/ink as well as encouraging end-users to improve printing behavior.
All students will be given a print quota each semester. When this quota has been exhausted additional credits may be purchased.
Print credits are reset each semester and summer. Any extra credits are wiped out when credits are reset. This is done the "first day of classes".
