Enroll in PaperCut with your PennCard

To print from your laptop or mobile device, you'll need to use PaperCut, the printing software at Wharton. The PaperCut portal is where you can manage documents you need to print. After you upload your document, you can release it from a Wharton printer by authenticating with your PennCard.

Before You Start 

You will need the following before you can complete this task: 

  • An active PennCard
  • PennKey credentials
  • Access to an on-campus public printer.


Get Started with PaperCut

The first time you log into a PaperCut printer at Wharton, you must associate your PennCard with your user account. Once you have done this, you only need to repeat it if you replace your PennCard.

If you replace your PennCard for any reason, you will need to re-associate that card at a printer.

Associate your PennCard with PaperCut

To associate your PennCard with your user account:

  1. Go to any Wharton printer; you will see the PaperCut login: Login screen asking for username/password or ID number

    (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):
