Public Resources for Print, Scan, and Copy

This article provides information on using Wharton's public Workstations to print, scan and copy. To print from your laptop or device, you'll need to use PaperCut, the printing software at Wharton.  If you are new to PaperCut, see Using Wharton PaperCut for the First Time, below.

We recommend using the PaperCut portal for the best printing experience.

Using Wharton PaperCut for the First Time

The first time you log into a PaperCut printer at Wharton, you must associate your PennCard with your user account. This is a simple process, and once done, need not be repeated unless your PennCard is replaced.

1. Go to the printer on which you wish to print your document(s); you will see the PaperCut login: 
   
   (If the PaperCut login is not displayed, tap Login at the top right of the panel, and it should appear.)
   
   
2. Tap your PennCard on the card reader (mounted beside the display):
   
   
3. The first time you tap you will be asked to associate your card with your account by logging in:
   
4. Touch the screen to bring up an on-screen keyboard, and type in your PennKey username and Password:
   

5. Click the “Associate Card” button on the right side of the on-screen keyboard:
   
   

6. Your account will be authenticated, and you will receive an acknowledgement

7. Hit OK, and you will be returned to the login screen:
   

8. Tap your card again, and this time, you will be automatically logged into the Papercut app.
   

Printing From a Wharton Public Workstation
