Looking up Free Print Allocation

Issue/Question

Where can I look up how much free printing allocation I have left? 

Resolution

  1. Log into PaperCut Portal. 
    Note: You must be on campus or logged into the WKU VPN to access this link.
  2. On the Summary tab, two balances are listed. The value under BALANCE is your remaining free print allocation. Free print allocation is issued once a year in August. Unused print allocation does not roll over to the next year. Once you have exhausted your free print allocation you must pay for printing using Big Red Dollars. 

You can learn more about adding additional print allocation here.
