Print Management System

Clark is implementing the Uniprint print management system in public printing areas in the Academic Commons. Uniprint provides advanced tools to help Clark manage the increasing cost of printing and at the same time offer a more flexible and secure environment than is possible with traditional print server technology.

Reduce waste - Other campuses implementing Uniprint have seen waste reductions up to 30% simply by holding jobs until the owner is there to retrieve them.

Reduce cost - With the increase in the volume of printing, and the increases in the cost of paper and toner, printing costs have skyrocketed. By reducing waste, we can help control costs.

Greater flexibility - The new spooled queues available with Uniprint will help make the public printer system more flelxible and robust. Simply print to a single public queue and when you are ready to get your jobs, walk over to the Print Release station and swipe your ID to release your jobs.

Greater privacy - With Uniprint release stations your privacy is protected, since you will control when you release the job to the printer. No more rifling through piles of papers to find your job; no more worries that someone else may take your printout with theirs.

***IN ORDER TO PRINT***
Students, Faculty and Staff will need a valid Clark University ID in order to release print jobs from the Print Release stations. If you do not have an ID please visit The One Card Office

What is a release station, and how do I use one?
A release station is a computer workstation that allows you to manage the jobs you have waiting for you in a spooled printer queue. When you log-in to a release station using your Clark One Card you will see all the jobs that you have sent to that queue. To print the job, simply highlight it and click “Print”. If you don’t wish to print the job, you can click “Delete”, or simply leave it in the queue.

How long do I have to release my document to the printer?
You have 2 hours to release your document to a printer. After 2 hours, unprinted jobs will be deleted .

Why does it say $0.00 when I print?
An inherent feature of Uniprint is the ability to charge for printing. There is currently no charge for printing, so the cost of your job will show as $0.00 regardless of size.

Print Queues

Print queues are managed by ITS and access is restricted to users with University accounts. In the case of departmental, computer lab or classroom printers there is a designee who manages the permissions to the printer. This manager is the person who can request additional users to have access to the printer. Installing a print queue printer is fairly simple and in the case of Windows computer, the printer driver is automatically downloaded to your computer. Print queues can also be installed on Mac OS computers, but the driver must be installed manually.
