PaperCut - Sharp OSA Manual 2014-12-24

3.2 Scenario 1: Standard copying

Standard copying involves monitoring/charging printing to a user’s personal account.

This is the most commonly used for student printing or basic staff monitoring. Users

can also be configured for unrestricted printing, which is commonly used for

staff/employee use.

NOTE: If you are using the PaperCut embedded application for Sharp OSA versions

earlier than 3, displays will look differently. Refer to appendix 0.

At the photocopier:

1. Log in using username and password as ‘testusersimple’.

2. At this point the copier will be enabled for usage (if the release station is also

enabled, then select “Use Copier Functions” to enable the copier).

3. Follow the onscreen instructions and perform some test copying (i.e. press

“OK” then perform a copy as normal).

4. Once completed copying press the “LOGOUT” button on the device to return

to the Login screen.

In the PaperCut administration interface verify that the copier activity was recorded

and the user’s account was deducted. This can be done as follows:

1. Log in to the PaperCut administration interface.

2. Select the device from the “Devices” tab.

3. Select the “Job log” tab. This will list all recent copying activity on the copier.

The copying just performed as the test user should be listed. Verify the

details of the copy job that was just performed.

4. Click on the user’s name in the user column to view the user’s account

details.

5. Select the “Job log” tab to display all print/copy activity for the user.
