Printing/copying equipment is available in the computer labs and across campus for students to use. (More Information on the Computer Labs on Campus)
Hamline University uses a billing code based printing/copying solution for all students. All of Hamline University’s computer labs and public printer/copiers are under this billing code system. This system simply requires a unique billing code that is associated with each student's Hamline ID.
How to Look Up Your Library Code
The Printing/Copying Billing Code is a unique number that is assigned only to you. It is NOT the same as the Piperline PIN.
Your Printing/Copying Billing Code is encoded on the magnetic stripe on the back of your Hamline ID card. (More Information on the Hamline ID Card)
You can also look up your Printing/Copying Billing Code in the Piperline Secure Area. (More Information on the Piperline System)
Follow these steps:
- Go to the Piperline Secure Area. (You may also access Piperline from the Logins page at http://wwww.hamline.edu/logins.)
- Log in using your Hamline ID Number (or Social Security Number) and Piperline PIN. (More Information on Your Piperline PIN)
- Click on Personal Information.
- Click on ID Card Information. The page will display your Printing/Billing Code.
How to Use Printing/Copying Equipment on Campus
When you wish to print from a Hamline University public computer, you prepare your document as usual and after clicking the "Print" icon in whichever program you are using, a small dialogue box will appear asking you to enter your Printing/Copying Billing Code. You can then send the print job to the printer that has been selected by simply typing in your unique Printing/Copying Billing Code and pressing ENTER. A second dialogue box also pops up informing you of the total cost of the print job; you can cancel the print job at that point and no charges will be assessed. If you do not wait for the second dialogue box to calculate the cost and you send the print job, you will be charged for that print job (even if it is not what you intended to print). The charge for the printing will automatically be billed to you student account at 10 cents per page. The Student Accounts Office is then in charge of handling the billing and collection.
When you wish to use copiers on campus, simply swipe your ID in the card reader. Just as with printing, all copying will be automatically billed to your account.
