Pay for Print uses two methods to charge for printing. In PC only environments, your account will be charged based upon your network login. In cases where Macs are used solely, or in conjunction with PCs, a release station will queue up the print jobs. If you are using a lab or computer associated with a release station, you will need to go to the release station, selected the job you want to print and then swipe your card.
Each student receives a print account on their OneCard in the amount of $20 (equivalent to 200 black and white printed pages) for printing to college supported printers in the computer labs. Printing in excess of this balance will be charged to your debit account. If you get a patron denied error or have trouble printing, please forward your ID number and a brief description of the problem to the OneCard Office at onecard@smcm.edu, visit the OneCard Web site at http://www.smcm.edu/ctss/onecard or contact them at x4469.
Please be sure to log out when leaving a computer to avoid other students printing from your account.
- Prior to printing your job, it is recommended that you name the document to help identify your print job. Print your document as you normally would. After you select to print, a pop-up window will appear. This window will show you the number of pages, the cost of the print job, and also allow you to Print, Print Later, or Delete the print job.
- If you are ready to print this job click Print. By selecting print you are purchasing that page. In the bottom left corner of the Diebold Card Systems CSPrint Client window you will see your CSPrint Account balance after the transaction. If for some reason you do not want to print the document at this time click Print Later, to save the job for later printing, or click Delete to remove the print job.

IMPORTANT!!!
If you log on to a computer and the Diebold Card System CSPrint Client window pops up showing that you have documents waiting to be printed, Delete them! If you do not delete them and end up printing them, YOU will be paying for someone elses printing! - If you want to know what print jobs are waiting to print, or to see the status of your print jobs, double click the printer icon in the bottom right corner of your screen. The Diebold Card Systems CSPrint Client window will appear again and you can choose the document you wish to print or delete.
- IMPORTANT!!!
When you are finished at your computer and are ready to leave make sure you delete all of the print jobs that you have at your computer and log off of the network. This is very important, because if you stay logged on someone will be able to use that computer and print documents under your account!
