Print, Scan, and Fax

This service is available for faculty, staff, students, and visitors.

All St. Thomas members can print directly from any campus computer, any web browser, a USB, or by connecting a printer to your personal laptop (this option requires downloading the PaperCut software). See the Features & Ways to Print section below.

Visitors must use public computers in the University Libraries and must purchase print credits from the front desk in $1 or $5 increments.  Find instructions on this process in the Knowledge Base.

  Students & Visitors Faculty, Staff, & Student Workers
Grayscale Prints (Black and white)  $0.05/page $0.01/page
Color Prints $0.50/page $0.10/page

Note: Students receive a complimentary print credit at the start of each term to cover approximately 400 pages of black and white printing on campus.

Your printing balance can be tracked and monitored in PaperCut and from the My Actions tab of your OneStThomas homepage.

Grayscale and duplex printing are the default settings on all campus printers in order to reduce paper usage and manage print costs. A dialogue window will pop-up on your computer with a preview of the document details and cost of the print job so that you can confirm this is correct before printing costs are accrued.  

About Printers on Campus 

ITS manages the majority of printers on campus, however there are many that are purchased through a department.  

  • All managed network printers are labeled with bright tags and a unique three- or four-digit number to simplify printer identification when reporting a problem to the Tech Desk. ITS asks that the identifier be given to the Tech Desk when reporting an issue with a printer. 
  • Purchased printers are not monitored or managed by ITS. We will work with you as a partner in assisting your department in purchasing a printer for your needs. If your department wishes to purchase a printer, please use the request form on this page.

Learn more about the differences in cost, supplies, and more here in the Knowledge Base.
