Printing/Copying/Scanning

NYLS has moved to Papercut, a student printing platform of Konica Minolta printers for networked printing, copying and scanning. You can send a print job from your laptop, phone or tablet.  You then release your print job from any of the four Konica Minolta printers on campus. 

  • Download and install the PaperCut app to your laptop, tablet or phone
  • Send the print job and select the Student_Print driver.
  • Proceed to one of the Konica Minolta printers  
  • Swipe your OneCard or log in with your network name and password to release and print your job(s). 

Printing - OneCard - Your Print Fund

Copying and printing are each $0.10 per page.  A double-sided copy or print is considered one page, so you will save money and paper by choosing this option. Scanning is free

At the beginning of each semester, you will receive a credit of $10 on your OneCard to be used for printing and copying.  

The OneCard system does not allow you to deposit funds to your “Print/Copy Fund.” But when this fund runs out, the system looks to your “FlexFund” Account to cover printing/copying charges.  Use the Account Management Center (AMC) (next to the coffee bar) to add additional funds to your OneCard Flex Fund or online through the NYLS portal.  Select the OneCard icon (left column of the portal homepage). 

Please contact Business Operations (email: onecard@nyls.edu) if there is a problem with your Print Fund balance. Please include the barcode number on the back of your OneCard.

Link your OneCard to your Papercut Account

The first time you use the printer, you must register your OneCard in the network system.  This can be done at any networked printer on campus.  You need not send a print job before you do it.

Swipe your OneCard through the OneCard reader. You'll get a prompt to register your Onecard with the system.

  • Touch the Username field to open the keyboard.  Enter your NYLS email address and password and then touch Log in.
  • Once you’ve registered this way, your card will be recognized at every networked  printer on campus.
  • If you've left your OneCard at home, you can log into any Konica Minolta printer with your network name and password and release your print job.
  • If you're unable to connect your account, please contact OIT (Room C108; email: helpdesk@nyls.edu ; 212-431-2316)
