Wepa Otter Print Stations
Overview
WEPA is a cloud-based printing system designed for students and guests. It lets you send documents straight from your laptop, phone, or cloud storage and pick them up at any Wepa kiosk on campus without logging into a campus computer.
Why Wepa
Wepa makes printing simpler, safer, and more sustainable. Here’s what’s in it for you:
- Convenience: No more hunting down an open computer lab and waiting to log into an available computer to send a print job to a printer across the room. You can print straight from your device and pick up your pages when you want at the kiosk of your choice.
- Student privacy: Your files stay safe in the cloud until you’re physically at the kiosk to release the print job, with no chance of someone else grabbing your documents.
- Full-color printing: Every Wepa kiosk lets you print in color or black and white, depending on your needs.
- Sustainability: Wepa encourages smarter printing by reducing waste and using energy-efficient systems. Features like print preview and default double-sided printing help you print using less resources.
Where can I print?
