Printing documents on campus at Kennesaw State University is a straightforward process, allowing students to easily access printing services across both the Kennesaw and Marietta campuses. This guide will walk you through the steps for uploading and releasing your print jobs using the KSU Print system. To get started, ensure you have funds in your KCash account and your NetID and password ready for login.
Uploading Your Document to KSU Print
Before you can print, you need to upload your documents to the KSU Print system. Here’s how to do it:
- Begin by navigating to the KSU Print website in your web browser.
- Log in to the system using your Kennesaw State University NetID and password. This is the same login you use for other KSU services.
- Once logged in, locate and select the “Upload a document” option.
- Click the “Browse” button to open your computer’s file explorer. Find and select the file you wish to print.
- After selecting your file, it will be uploaded to the system. To view your uploaded document, click the “Refresh” button, which is located at the top left of the screen and depicted as two circular arrows. This action updates the display to show your recently uploaded file.
It’s important to note that all print jobs are processed as color by default if the document contains any color elements. Be mindful of this if you intend to print in black and white to avoid unnecessary charges.
To manage your uploaded files before printing, you can:
- Check your Print Center to see all documents currently pending for printing. This is useful for verifying successful uploads.
- Delete a file by selecting it and clicking the “Delete” icon next to the “Refresh” button if you no longer need to print it.
Releasing Your Print Job at a Campus Copier
Once your document is uploaded, you can release and print it at any Ricoh copier/printer located on Kennesaw State University campuses. Follow these steps to release your print job:
- Go to any Ricoh copier/printer on campus. For black and white prints, any machine will work. If you need to print in color, ensure you use a designated color copier.
- Tap your KSU ID card on the SmartCard Reader attached to the printer. This authenticates your account with the printing system.
- The printer interface will display your pending print jobs. Select the job(s) you wish to print.
- Press the [Print] button on the copier interface to start printing your selected documents.
- Collect your printed documents from the output tray.
- To ensure the security of your account, tap your KSU ID Card on the SmartCard Reader again to log out of the printer.
