If you use a University-managed Mac, follow these instructions to print directly to a Sharp MX-C500P desktop printer, large format printer or plotter.
You need to install the printer client software, which installs the printer drivers on your computer, and the user client software, which you will use to select an account to pay for printing.
Installing the print client software
- Open Self Service on your Mac by clicking the University of Bath logo, which should be on the left-hand side of your dock. Alternatively, press Command + Space and start to type 'Self Service'.
- Select ‘University Print Service (PaperCut)' and then 'Install'.
- Click on the green printer icon in the menu bar and select 'View my printers'.
- The PaperCut Print Deploy Client will open. Enter your University username, like abc1, and password and click on 'Sign in and add printers'.
- The printers will start installing. When the printers have successfully installed, you are ready to start printing.
Installing the user client software
- Open Self Service on your Mac by clicking the University of Bath logo, which should be on the left-hand side of your dock. Alternatively, press Command + Space and start to type 'Self Service'.
- Select 'University Print Service (PaperCut)' and then 'Install'.
- Once installed this may take up to one minute to load and display the login box. Enter your University username, like abc1, and password and tick ‘Remember my identity’.
Printing a document
When printing a document you will see a pop-up window for selecting an account to pay for printing. Select ‘Charge to my personal account’, or select ‘Charge to a shared account’, and then a department or project code.
