Student
Printing at S.T.C.C.
Follow Me Printing- a new way of printing
beginning Spring 2014
Prior to Print Management, you would print your document
by selecting “print” and then the document would be sent
directly to a printer.
Printing “the old way”
• Now, you log into the computer with your WebAdvisor
username and password. When you select “print” to print
your document, you send it to a secure print queue.
Think of it as a “waiting room” for all the print jobs sent
by all the users of the system. Your print job is identified
as belonging to you because you are logged in under your
WebAdvisor credentials.
The new way…
• In an effort to go green and reduce waste, STCC has implemented print
management where students will be charged for printing on campus.
• For Spring 2014 and Summer 2014, students are allotted $20 in print credits per
semester. If a student runs out of print credits during these semesters, all they
have to do is request more by emailing [email protected].
• For Fall 2014, students will be allotted $20 in print credits. When these funds run
out, students will need to add their own funds to their RamCard for printing.
Funds can be added in the Student Accounts Office or via a web application that
will be coming in the Fall 2014 semester
• It pays to use the Black and White - two sided option whenever possible. $20
will get you approximately 286 printed sides per semester.
• Please note, the allotted amount of print credits and cost per print are subject to
change.
Print Credits
• Printing to the Follow Me Print Queue
• Select “File”
• Select “Print” on the side bar
• Select one of the four Follow Me Print queues then select
“Print”. This will add the print job to the Follow Me print
queue.

How do we use print
management?
How to: Select File, Print and then
select one of the Follow Me print
queues.
• Your print job waits for you to RELEASE it to a Student Release
Station.
Now your print job waits
for you!
• http://www.stcc.edu/ramcard/printReleaseInfo.asp
• Visit www.STCC.edu website and select RamCard under
quicklinks to get to the list of Student Release Stations
Where are the Student
Release Stations?
• Go to the Student Release Station where you want to release
the job and swipe your RamCard. Swipe it slowly through the
card reader with the black strip on the back of the card facing
down.
• You can then choose to print all of the documents or a single
document from your Follow Me print queue to the Student
Release Station.
• Swipe your RamCard again to log out, or select the “log
in/out” button on the Student Release Station.
How do I release my print
job?
• You can log into the Student Release Station manually
with your WebAdvisor username and password.
• This is what the login screen looks like on the Student
Release Station:
If you forgot your
RamCard…
• You can view your print credit balance, the cost of each
document, select a single item to print, or select all items
to print.
Once logged in….
• You must swipe your RamCard to log out or hit the “Log
Out” button.
Don’t forget to log out!
• Using your WebAdvisor username and password, log into
http://printers.stcc.edu/.
• Here you can view pending documents in the print queue,
delete documents that you no longer need to print and
view your current print credit balance.
Managing your print
queue from your desktop
When you log in, you can see
a summary of your print
credit balance.
Under “Jobs Pending Release”, you can see all the
jobs you have in the Follow Me print queues. You can
choose to delete documents by selecting “cancel”
under “Action”.
• For technical issues, contact [email protected]
• For general information about the “Follow Me” print
management process, go to www.stcc.edu/RamCard or
email [email protected].
If something’s not right…
• Make sure you are logged in to the computer with your
WebAdvisor username and password.
• Once you send a print job to the Follow Me print queue,
it stays there for three days. After three days, it is
automatically deleted.
Helpful Hints
• Eventually, staff and students will be able to send print
jobs to the Follow Me print queue from off campus,
including IOS android wireless devices.
In the future…
