Frequently Asked Questions

Sending your documents to print is the same process as any other printer using PaperCut on campus
- Access your student account on any of the lab computers in the UI Library
- Send your document to be "printed" to 'UofI-MobilePrint-print02"
Printing on the Konica is slightly different from other printers on campus, as the functionality is holistically integrated into the touch screen display.
Konica Login
On the touchscreen, the Konica has access to PaperCut's Mobility function, so begin by typing in your V-number (excluding the 'V').
Print Release
After logging in you will either be immediately taken to the job log screen of PaperCut or the Konica dashboard. If it is the Dashboard, scroll to the right twice until you see the icon APP, then select RELEASE, it should take you to this job log page. If you are taken to a different page, please see the below troubleshooting section.
In the job log screen of the Konica tap your document you wish to print, highlight the applicable print type, and hit the green "Print" button on the bottom right corner.
Note: The Konica will default to color when available, to avoid being charged more if Black and White is the desired option, click the box Print in grayscale.
If you attempt to login without anything actively in your print queue, it will default to the printer's dashboard as seen below. Return to PaperCut by pressing the logout button that is circled in the picture.
If you cannot get the touch screen system to work, there are 2 forms of backup.
- You may scan the QR code attached to the printer and print in the same way as any other on campus PaperCut printer.
There are other printers located right next to the Konica, and on the 2nd and 4th floor the library
Will other forms of ID work for the type field?
Only Vandal numbers excluding the "V" work with the sign in option.
Does the Konica print both B&W and Color?
Yes, if you submit a colored page to the queue, the Konica will default to color but you may select the grayscale option to be charged less if color is not of importance to your print job.
How long will jobs stay in the PaperCut queue?
Documents will remain in the PaperCut queue for 8 hours before the system clears it. After that, you will need to send the document again back to the MobilePrint queue.
Do I need to sign out?
The Konica will time out your instance and sign out your account after 30-60 seconds on inactivity, but signing out as soon as you finish printing prevents the possibility of an account compromise.
Note: If further assistance is needed, do not hesitate to ask for help from the Student Technology Center Representative located on the first floor of the library, or the Student Technology Center itself.
