There are two ways to print from a mobile device or laptop:
- Using MyPrintCenter
- Email Printing
MyPrintCenter allows you to upload and print documents from your computer, laptop, or mobile device to a Wharton printer via a supported web browser (recent versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge).
Email Printing allows you to attach a document for printing to an email. Send that email to the proper address, and then you can release the job at any of Wharton's printers. (You'll need to register your email address before you use this service the first time.)

Managing your Print Jobs
The MyPrintCenter Job List is your hub for managing your MyPrintCenter jobs, including those sent via Email Printing. This screen, which is what you see when you log in, lists all your pending print jobs (if you don't have any pending jobs, the Job List will be empty). You can follow the directions above to upload a file to print. In the screenshot below, there is one document that is pending.
There are three main sections of the Job List screen:
A. This is the job list itself. Each job listing has several sections:
- The select box allows you to select a job to either set Print Options (see section C) or delete the job. To delete a job click the select box next to the job, then click the Delete button at the top of the job list.
- Type indicates what type of file you're printing. Supported files include standard Office files, PDFs, images, text, and Visio files.
- Title lists the name of the file uploaded.
- Print Preview, when clicked, opens a window with a preview of how the document will look when printed.
- Pages lists the number of pages in the document.
- Pieces of paper shows you how many sheets of paper this job requires.
- Submitted Date displays the upload date of the job. Click on this header to sort the job listings by date.
- Cost is the price of your print job with the selected Print Options. This cost is deducted from your Print Balance after it has been released at a printer (i.e., you'll only pay for jobs you've successfully printed).
B. Payment Method displays your current Print Balance. If you need to add funds, follow these directions.
C. Print Options activate when you select a job from the list. Here you can set options like:
- Color vs. Black and White
