Change Printing Method from Personal PC

  1. Web printing (only this method is available at the start of operation)
    Login to the site, upload files and print. No driver installation or configuration is required.
       *File Size : Up to 30MB
       Word/Excel/PowerPoint/PDF/text files/image files are supported.
    Word/Excel/PowerPoint may cause layout corruption. In such cases, please convert the file to PDF before printing.
    For files that cannot be printed via Web Printing, please print from a PC in the PC Classroom.

  2. Printing from Smartphones and Tablets [in preparation].
    We are considering support for printing from personal smartphones and other devices (using a dedicated application).
    Preparations will be made to provide this service by the end of FY2023.

Transition Schedule

  1. Printers will be replaced sequentially from the end of July to mid-September.
    • During the replacement period, the old and new on-demand printers will be operated simultaneously.
    • The new printer will be completely replaced on September 21st.
    • Printing from each PC classroom will be on the current on-demand printer until the system is updated during the summer vacation, and on the new printer after the update. The transition schedule will be different for each classroom, and details will be announced at a later date.
  • Those who have set up on-demand printers on their personal PCs can use them until September 20th.
    After September 21st, please use the Web Print service with a new printer.
  • During the spring semester, you can use both old and new printers with the printer points currently given.
