PaperCut Printing for Chromebooks

Overview

Our upgraded copiers now support PaperCut Hive, providing enhanced convenience, security, and accessibility compared to traditional printing methods.

• Print jobs are stored securely in the cloud for up to 24 hours.
• Retrieve prints from any Konica Minolta copier at Giles or Leigh—no need to choose a specific printer in advance.
• Reduces misprints and enhances privacy—no more abandoned or misdirected documents.
• Supports remote printing from home, Giles, Leigh, or anywhere with an internet connection.

Note: PaperCut only works with our Konica Minolta devices. Other printers will continue to function as they have in the past.

2. Scroll down and note your unique PaperCut Access Code.
