Cash to Card machines:

Using the Cash to Card Machines, you can add value to your JSU ID Card/Guest Card or buy a blank Guest Card for $1.00. The Guest Cards are reusable.

Note: You must have correct change when using the Debitek Cash to Card Machine – this machine DOES NOT MAKE CHANGE.

Cash to Card machines can be found in the following locations:

• Student lounge of Merrill Hall
• Room 308 Bibb Graves Hall
• Houston Cole Library lobby
• Fourth Floor of TMB, near Mail Center

Cash added to your JSU ID Card or Guest Card is written to the value stripe. The value stripe is only used for the Uniprint System and some campus vending machines.

Print Release Stations:

Each printer location has one or more print release stations from which the users can pay for and release their jobs to the printer.

After the JSU ID card or JSU Guest card is inserted the release station will display a list of print jobs waiting to be paid for and released.

Users select their print jobs from the listing then click the print button.

The printing cost and card balance will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What is Uniprint?
  Uniprint is a network printing system that charges users for printing. When printing is done, the Uniprint system debits the user’s JSU ID Card or Guest Card for the cost of a print job.
• How does Uniprint work?
  At a computer workstation, the user clicks on the print button and gives the job a unique job name. The print job is sent to a print station. At the print station, the user inserts a JSU ID Card or Guest Card in a card reader, then clicks on the print job, and releases the file to the printer for printing.
• How much does printing cost?
  $.05 per page
• Can students pay for printing without a JSU ID Card?
  Yes, users can buy a Guest Card from the Cash to Card machines for $1.00 and then add money to the Guest Card to pay for printing.
• Are there ways other than printing to capture information from computer workstations?
  Yes. In many cases, computer output can be sent to an e-mail account. The majority of files can be downloaded to a disk. Or, the information can be read from the monitor.
• What if a user, by mistake, selects and prints the wrong job?
  Selecting the correct print job is the user’s responsibility. Only selected jobs are debited on the user's JSU ID Card.
• What if the print quality is poor or the printer doesn't work?
  Check with library staff or student assistant for assistance. Users will be given re-prints for pages printed when the toner is low or there is a paper jam.
• Do print jobs sent to the print server have to be paid for, if it's decided that printing is not desired?
  No. A print job is not paid for until the job is released to the printer for printing. A job sent to the print station, but not released to the printer, drops automatically from system after two hours.
• Can a job released to the printer be cancelled or stopped from printing?
  No. Once a job is selected and released for printing, it cannot be cancelled. The user must pay for the print job.
• How can a user add money for printing to a JSU ID Card or a Guest Card?
  Users with cash can add money to cards at Cash to Card machines.
• What if the card reader doesn't read the JSU ID Card?
