How do I use Penn Engineering printers?

Penn Engineering provides printing and scanning services in our public computer labs.

As of Fall 2026, we use the PaperCut software, which provides 3 methods to send print jobs:

• Mobility Print — install the print driver on your own device
• Print Deploy — print directly from our Windows Lab PCs
• Web Print — upload supported file types to a print queue using a browser

What printers are available?

Color LaserJet Multifunction Printers are available in select public computer labs, such as:

• AGH 200
• Moore 100
• Towne M62

How do I send print jobs from my own device?

The PaperCut Mobility Print Application can be installed on your own device to send print jobs to our public printers.

Set up Mobility Print on your device here.

You can also send print jobs from the Penn Engineering Print Portal via the Web Print function.

How do I send print jobs from the lab computers?

Windows lab computers have printing instructions in a document on the desktop. You can also view them here.

How do I view my printing balance, review transactions, view status, and so on?

Sign into the Penn Engineering Print Portal here.

In the Portal, you can track your balance, review transactions, verify the status of pending print jobs, and upload documents to Web Print.

How do I pay for printing?

Penn Engineering Students receive $20 of printing credit at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters. Once your printing credit has been used, you can use PennCash to pay for additional printing.

Black-and-White Printing

• $.07 per page for single-sided printing
• $.05 per page ($.10 per sheet) for double-sided printing

Color Printing

• $.28 a page for single-sided printing
• $.20 per page ($.40 per sheet) for double-sided printing

How do I release my print jobs at the printer?

As of Fall 2026, we do not have card readers available for our new printers. For now, you must manually type in your 10-digit PennCard Number on the printer’s display to sign in. Once signed in, you can Release Print Jobs and Scan to Email or OneDrive.

Your PennCard Number is listed in the lower left corner of your PennCard. You will need to supply the last 10 digits of the PennCard Number (i.e., skip the first 6 digits). In the example below, the PennCard Number is 1110123400.

How do I scan documents?

The PaperCut User Interface is installed on the Multifunction Printers in our public labs. The application is configured to allow students to use the Scan to My Email and Scan to OneDrive features.

The first time you use the Scan to OneDrive feature, PaperCut will send you a request for authorization similar to the following:

From: scans@papercut.com
To: yourpennname@engineering.upenn.edu
Subject: Authorize Scans for PaperCut MF to save to your OneDrive for Business

Follow the instructions in this email to authorize PaperCut to send scans successfully. You only have to do this once, and this email also states the location scans will appear in your OneDrive.
