Printing, Copying, and Scanning at Huron Library

PaperCut

Along with libraries across Western’s campus, the Huron Library uses PaperCut to enable students, faculty, staff, and guests to print, photocopy, and scan. The Library’s printer is located to the main level, to the right when entering the Commons.

Login to PaperCut with your Western ID to get started.

Guest users will need to make an account, and this can be done from the PaperCut login page, selecting ‘Alumni and Guests – Register Here.’ Guests will need to log-in manually on the printer using the touch screen to release print jobs.

King’s and FIMS students have unique PaperCut accounts, and these accounts are not linked.

Additional spaces to print:

*Note about scanning: There is a 15MB limit for scanning to email, but no limit scanning to a USB.

Printing tips:

  • Huron’s printer only has letter (8.5″ x 11″) and legal (11″ x 14″) sized paper.
  • However the print job is sent, is how it will be released (this is applicable to colour documents).
  • Double sided printed can be selected when logging into the printer to release print jobs.
