Panola Offers Printing in the Cloud

October 18, 2018 - WEPA (WE Print Anywhere) print is now available at Panola College. WEPA print allows students to send documents from their laptops and other devices to the cloud-based printing service. There is no need to wait for the library to open to be able to print anymore. Students can send documents before they leave home and simply print when they arrive on campus. This allows students to send documents to the cloud at any time that is convenient to them and print on demand at the kiosks.

By creating an account, students may add $5.00 or more online from any debit or credit card, a pre-paid WEPA print card (sold in library), or PayPal. Students do not have to create an account. They can also swipe a credit or debit card or purchase a pre-paid print card from the M.P. Baker Library to use directly at any kiosks. The kiosks are located in three places on campus:

  • The M.P. Baker Library (second floor). This station also has a scanner for copying.
  • The Charles C. Matthews Foundation Student Center (first floor by the cafeteria door).
  • The Health and Natural Sciences Building (first floor in the hallway behind Dean Reed-Hirsch’s office, near OT area).

If a student leaves Panola and still has funds on their WEPA account, the funds will be returned to the student if they wish. If the student transfers to another school using WEPA, they can continue to use their existing funds on their account at that institution.

The prices are: Single-sided black & white – $.09, Two-sided black & white – $.17, Single-sided color – $.25, Two-sided color – $.47.

Students who have already utilized this new printing capability had some great comments. One student said, “The WEPA printing machine is a very good idea!”

Another student claimed, “The new printer is great. WE LOVE IT!”

One student’s comment was echoed throughout the student body, “PLEASE KEEP THIS!”

Panola College is excited to continually offer the latest technology to students to improve their college experience and help them be successful in their courses.

Community members are also welcome to use the printers, but it is encouraged that they use a print card or set up an account because the kiosk charges a $.49 cent fee for not making a $5.00 purchase, if a credit or debit card is used.
