UPrint F.A.Q.
- How much credit do I get?
- Students allowances have been increased to 130 of UPrint credits per school year at the beginning of the Fall semester.
- Will I receive print credit for duplexing?
- Yes. The new system will extend a 0.02 print credit on the second page when duplexing. See print credit summary below:
- What happens when I run out of UPrint Credit?
- When you run out of credits, printing and copying will be deducted from your Cane Express Account.
- Can I add money to my UPrint account?
- Yes. You add money for UPrint by adding funds to your Cane Express Account via CaneLink Homepage.
- Will my left over UPrint credit roll over to the next year?
- No. All students' UPrint credits will reset to 130 at the beginning of the fall semester. Any money you added to your Cane Express account will roll over.
- Can student groups and organizations use UPrint?
- For student groups and organizations in need of printing services (flyers, posters, etc.) throughout the year, the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee (SAFAC) provides special UPrint funding for these purposes. SAFAC will not fund UPrint for any organization who has or whose umbrella organization has already been funded a copier/printer. To apply for funding, please visit SAFAC Funding Request Forms
- Can I get a refund if the printer messed up my job and I had to reprint?
- No. Refunds will not be available.
- My print job is not showing up on the black & white device?
- In most cases this is because the print job was released at the computer or mobile device in the color queue. If a job is released to the color device it will not show up on a black & white only device
- Why should I print my black & white jobs from a black & white device only?
- It is more environmentally sound to print black & white documents from black & white devices only. Although color devices will print jobs released to a black and white device, it is not ideal for the environment since this utilizes more resources.
- How does UPrint Mobile work?
- With UPrint Mobile you can print your document by emailing it to UPrintColor@miami.edu or UPrintBW@miami.edu as an attachment. Each attachment will print as its own document and the email will print as well if it is sufficient characters long. If the email is not long enough to print or if you send a file type that is not supported by UPrint Mobile, you will receive an email notification. Please visit the UPrint Mobile page at http://studentsupport.it.miami.edu/uprint/mobile_print.html for more information.
- Can I use any email address to submit jobs via MobilePrint?
- No. MobilePrint is only available using a University of Miami-issued email address (@miami.edu or variation such as law.miami.edu.) Pharos will use whichever email you have in CaneLink on MyUM as your preferred email address. The only time this is different is if your preferred email is an @umail address. In this case, the MobilePrint system will only recognize your @miami.edu email.
- Can I print using my own paper?
- No. These machines are set to only allow for certain types of paper and using anything other than what is provided may damage them.
- Will I get charged for color if I print a black & white job from a color device?
- No. You will only be charged for a color print if: 1) the document being printed has color in it, and 2) you sent the job to the color queue. If both are not the case, you will be charged the black & white rate.
- Only the first page of my job is in color, will I be charged color for the whole thing?
- No. The new UPrint system will only charge the color rate for the pages that actually have color in them; the rest will be charged as black & white.
- UPrint is not working, can I still print?
- Yes. If there is an error in the system, it is possible for part of the system to continue working while another part is down. We are also working with all of the departments to implement by-pass printing in case of a total system crash.
