PaperCut is the name of the system used at Camosun to track and charge for student printing and photocopying on campus.
Getting started
Every registered Camosun student (except those taking only non-credit Continuing Education courses) has a聽笔补辫别谤颁耻迟听account with a聽one鈥搕ime only聽credit of $1.50 for 15 single sided, letter or legal size, black & white prints or copies.
When you print to a lab printer, or copy on a student copier, the appropriate cost-per-print is automatically deducted from your account. You will need to purchase more credits if you wish to print or copy after your free print credits are used up.
