Print Using DeacPrint
You can upload, manage, and print your documents using DeacPrint, powered by PaperCut:
- Log in to DeacPrint with your WFU Google Account.
- To add a document for printing, click Web Print, then Submit a Job.
- Choose between Black & White or Color printing.
- Click Upload Documents, add your documents, then Click Upload and Complete.
- Release your print job at any library printer by tapping your WFU ID card on the printer and selecting the job on the touch screen.
NOTE: In addition to Windows and Mac, DeacPrint works with Linux, ChromeOS, tablets, and smartphones.
* DeacPrint accepts the following file types: Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, images, CSV, RTF, TXT. Files must be smaller than 100 MB. If you are printing an unsupported format, you will need to install the printers or see a staff member at the Library Services Desk.
Print Using Your Device
- Select the Print option in the program you are using and choose WFU Standard [Color/BW](Mobility). If this printer is not listed, you will need to add the WFU printers to your device.
- The printer will auto-detect whether your document is black & white or color. You can adjust the document’s settings in your program’s print dialog box, or set the print to grayscale at the printer itself.
- Release your print job at any library printer by tapping your WFU ID card on the printer and selecting the job on the touch screen.
Troubleshooting & Tips
- Your browser may give you a security warning when downloading drivers; it is safe to continue onto the website.
- If you have recently received a new ID Card, the printer may ask you to log in on the touch screen to register your new card to your account.
- When you change your WFU password, you will be prompted to update your printer information on your first print.
- Other printer issues: Please see a staff member at the Library Services Desk.
Free Prints and Additional Funds
Each semester, undergraduates are allocated $4.00 of free prints (50 sides). Graduate students are allocated $20.00 (250 sides). Print allocations refresh each semester for as long as a student is enrolled.
Once your allocation of free prints for a semester is spent, you can add additional funds to your Deacon OneCard:
If you have a small number of pages to print, go to the Library Services Desk and ask about paying for just the pages you print.
Copying and Scanning
All ZSR public printers also have photocopying and scanning functionality. Photocopies cost the same as printing and use the same funds as printing. Scanning to email is free.
A stand-alone scanner is also available on Wilson 4. This scanner can save to a flash drive or scan to email.
Printers on Level 4
Five printers are available on Level 4: one in Room 401, one in the Scholars Commons, one in the graduate student lounge, and two in the Wilson wing.
