Full Answer

Option 1: Manual Transfers

Manual transfers allow users to instigate a transfer of a selected amount from their Blackboard account into their PaperCut printing account.

Option 2: On-Demand Transfers

On-demand transfers occur when a user lacks sufficient balance to print a job. When this happens the system will automatically transfer funds from Blackboard into the user's PaperCut account as required, based on rules configured by the administrator.

Option 3: Pay-and-Release

Pay-and-release is an ideal solution for managing anonymous cards and guest users who may not have a network login. Payments for printing are made at release stations via a card swipe at the time jobs are released.
