Release your Print jobs

Denison has implemented a printing system. In efforts to reduce print waste, this system will require you to release your print jobs through a web page before they will go to the printers. Follow the steps below to release your prints:

  1. Print as you normally would from any application.
  2. Within 60 minutes login to the Print Release System (Novell Authentication required)
  3. Select the print job(s) you would still like to print by checking the box to the left of the document.
  4. Click the "Print" button.  NOTE: your job(s) is released and balance(s) debited.
  5. If you are in Fellows 100, Curtis Lab, Huffman Lab, or the Library Reference Lab, go to the printer and slide your Denison ID in the Pcounter PRO card-swipe. NOTE: after 60 minutes your job(s) will be removed.
  6. Retrieve your printed materials from the printer.

FAQ's

+ What is my balance?

Your current balances are displayed at the top of the Print Release Page (Novell Authentication required). The balance of both your print allowance and Denison Dollars may be viewed at any time.

+ How much does printing cost?

All print jobs are charged at the time they are released. Each student will start the academic year with a print allowance of $36 for printing. This equates to 1,200 duplex pages or 900 single sided pages.

Standard printing costs are calculated as follows:

  • Single sided print - $0.04 per page
  • Double sided print - $0.03 per side
Example: a 20 page document printed single sided would cost $0.80, but if you duplex the job, or print on both sides, the job will only cost $0.60.

Special printing costs can vary based on the type of printer. Be sure to view the cost of the job(s) before approving.

After your print allowance has reached $0 your Denison Dollars account will be automatically debited for each print, provided there are funds available.
+ Can I increase my print allowance?

No, the print allowance cannot be increased. However, you may to continue to print by using your Denison Dollars.

We understand that many classes and some disciplines require more printing than others. Similarly, some classes require several books and others require none. A few classes even require additional fees for supplies and additional costs. For these reasons, we suggest budgeting for these classes or research which may require more printing than average.

+ Help! My balance is zero on both my print allowance and my Denison Dollars!

Visit the Student Accounts office as soon as possible to fund your Denison Dollars account. It can take up to one business day for the funds to be available.

In the mean time, you can borrow prints from a friend. From the same computer you originally printed from, have your friend release your print job(s). Return the favor by buying a similar print job for your friend after your account has been funded.

+ Refunds?

If you have a problem printing, please contact the Help Desk in Fellows as soon as possible (x6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu). We will be happy to reprint the job for you. We cannot issue refunds, but we can easily replace print jobs that are damaged or failed to print due to an error with the printer.
