Hold and Release Printing

This feature allows users to send a print job and have it held at the printer until released using the PaperCut interface on the Ricoh device. Print jobs can only be seen and released by the user that sent them.

The Ricoh fleet will also be set to employ Hold/Release printing by default, except in the lab/classroom environment and the library. If your department wishes to opt out of this feature, the department supervisor will need to send an email requesting this to helpdesk@unca.edu.

How to print to a Ricoh device with Hold and Release:

  • Print from your computer as you normally would.
  • Authenticate to the device
  • Select your print job from the list and select ‘Print’ or select ‘Print All’
  • If you don’t see your print job listed and you haven’t changed your password recently call the Helpdesk for assistance at 828.521.6445. If you have changed your password make sure you’ve logged off and logged back on.
