Use the PaperCut print service to print from a personal device when youāre working on the move on campus, or working off campus. Then print your files from any networked MFD the next time youāre on campus. All you need is a device with an internet connection, and your University log in details.
The PaperCut service allows you to send your files to a University print queue from your personal Mac or PC laptop via a simple web interface, without the need of a print driver.
ā Staff working from home on UoA owned/managed devices can also use PaperCut to send files to a University print queue. ā Students can also top up their print budget using the Papercut service. See our separate Print charges and paying for printing guide.
Simply open your web browser, login to PaperCut, select your print options, and upload your files. Then next time youāre on campus, log into any networked MFD and collect your print job(s) as normal.

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed on your device. If you donāt already have this application, you can download it ā for free ā from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/pdf-reader.html
Make sure you download the free Reader and not Acrobat Pro DC!
Note : It is not possible to export a page range from Microsoft Word on a Mac. You must first create a PDF of the entire document, either from Word (via File > Save As > PDF ), or from Finder (via Open With > Preview , then from within Preview, via File > Export as PDF... ).
Note. Please be aware that it is not possible to export multiple page ranges from Preview. If you have a long document and want to print more than one section from it ā for example pages 1-5 and pages 14-17 of a 20 page document ā you will have to complete these steps twice, once for each page range.
