PaperCut FAQ

What happens to my balance at the end of the semester?

Your credit balance displayed in the PaperCut window is actually a combination of two accounts:

  • Initial semester credit (provided by the University) - this $25 in print quota has no cash value; reset to $25 at the beginning of each semester
  • Supplemental credit (added by you) - this balance comes from CajunCash you add into your account for additional print quota; supplemental credit carries forward every semester and is nonrefundable.

Does printing front and back (duplex) count as one page?

Yes. A page is considered a sheet of paper whether you print on one side or both. Printing duplex is strongly encouraged.

  • Choose “print on both sides” or “print duplex.” The wording may vary depending on the program that you are using.
  • How do I print multiple PowerPoint slides on one sheet?
  • Click File

  • Under “Slides,” click on the drop down arrow and choose one of the “handout” layouts. We suggest selecting “6 Slides Horizontal”
