HOW TO USE BRONCOPRINT
(Please note that BroncoPrint is inaccessible with wireless connection)

The following list contains helpful instructions on how to use the BroncoPrint printing system. IMPORTANT -- You must have a BSU Campus ID (also known as BroncoCard) or BroncoPrint card in order to print your work.
 
Current students without benefit of any fee waivers begin the semester with a $15.00 printing credit associated with their ID cards. All others must add value to their BSU ID cards or purchase a BroncoPrint card at a BroncoPrint vending machine.

1. After you click on "print", you will be prompted by a pop-up box to enter your BSU Student ID (or BroncoPrint card number) in the first text field and a job name in the second text field.

2. Select "Print" after entering your ID number and a job name

3. A second pop-up box will inform you of three things (1) cost of the job, (2) number of pages to be printed, and (3) the job name. IMPORTANT -- This box will remain on the screen for a limited amount of time as noted at the bottom of the pop-up box. If left unclicked you must return to step 1 to print your work.

4. Select "OK" to print. At this point your job has not actually been printed, but sent to a print queue where it will remain for up to 2 hours.

5. Make your way to the touch-screen operated BroncoPrint Station to the East of the Reference Desk to print your job(s).

6. The BroncoPrint Station has a card reader through which you must scan your Student ID card or BroncoPrint Card to login to the system and release your job(s). Upon scanning your card you should hear a beep which will let you know the scanner has correctly read your card. Re-scan your card if you do not hear this beep or your print job details do not display on the screen. Note - If an error message box appears on the screen or you are unable to login, please ask for help at the Computer Lab Assistant Desk or the  Reference Desk.

7. After successfully scanning your card, the touch-screen will display a list of the job(s) you have sent to the printer. Select a job by touching the job name on the screen and select "Print". The system will then display the cost of the current job on the lower part of the screen.

Note - You may also select to print multiple jobs at once by dragging your finger over all jobs you wish to print.

You may also select a job and choose to delete it if you no longer wish to print it. Leaving it in the queue will not affect your printing or charge you for the unprinted job.

8. Upon selecting "Print" the system will display your remaining balance on the screen.

9. The job will release from the BroncoPrint Station and it will display which printer will print your work.
