This guide explains how faculty and staff can print from a Tarleton-issued iPad using the PaperCut system. It includes steps for installing the app, sending a print job, and releasing it at a compatible printer.

iPads and iPhones not managed by Tarleton State cannot use this workflow, but can use
the Pharos system with any computer lab or library printer.
Install PaperCut on the iPad
Open the Self Service app.
Tap on Home > Printers.
- Alternatively, tap on Search and then type in "papercut".
Under PaperCut Mobility Print for iOS, tap Install.
- If the button lists Reinstall, then PaperCut is already in place, and you can move on to printing on the iPad.
Close Self Service.
Printing on the iPad
Open the item you wish to print.
- If you want to test, then open any web page in Safari.
Tap on the Share icon in the upper right (square with an arrow pointing up).
Tap on the More menu.
Scroll down and tap on Print.
Tap to select the printer.
Select either SecurePrintBW (for black & white documents) or SecurePrintColor (for color).
If prompted, enter your Tarleton username (not full email address) and password.
- This should only be required once per printer.
Back at the printing menu, with either SecurePrintBW or SecurePrintColor selected, tap on the blue print button in the upper right corner.
Once tapped, the print menu will disappear. Your print job is now in the cloud waiting to be released at a printer.
Release Print Job from a Printer
Go to your nearest PaperCut compatible printer. They will have a touchscreen and an ID card swipe.
Log into the printer:
- Swipe your Tarleton ID card.
- Or use the touch screen to log in with your Tarleton username (not full email address) and password.
Once in, the touch screen will indicate how many print jobs you have pending. Select the one you want, or release them all.
